Edward Current - Give God More Credit

Edward argues that we need to give God more credit for miracles such as the plane landing on the Hudson.

Republican Off The Deep End

It seems like we should be able to create a new word to describe the insane ramblings of Republican wing nuts. Somehow"stupid" just doesn't seem strong enough and "moronic" is an insult to real morons. Whatever word you choose to use to describe them, Sean Hannity may well be their king.

A report and a video which I found both of at News Hounds. Click on the link to read more...

Sean Hannity, ever on the lookout for new ways to smear Democrats, achieved a creative breakthrough last night (1/17/09) on a special weekend edition of his new solo show. Without bothering to investigate any other facts beyond Senator Charles Schumer's 2004 earmark for a group called GeesePeace, Hannity and FOX News were ready to allege that Schumer is to blame for the crash of the US Airways flight last week. Later in the program, Hannity warned that if it happens again, Schumer would be responsible for any ensuing deaths. In concert with Hannity's smear, a banner on the screen read, “Buck stops at Chuck?” With video.

Flight 1549 Crash and Rescue

Security video of the crash and rescue. The plane comes down on the left side of the screen at about the 2 minute mark. The first boat is there just two minutes later. What an incredibly lucky day for those passengers.

You may want to open this up for full-screen viewing. It's grainier, but easier to make out.
