Patriot Gina Elise is still fighting the good fight helping veterans with the profits from her classic cheesecake calendar. She was recently interviewed by Fox 11 in L.A. which is as good an excuse as any to put up some tasteful link bait, er I mean cheesecake:

Support her Pin-Ups for Vets project. Buy a calendar and help hospitalized veterans and you’ll see pictures like this:

John Conyers’ wife Monica is on the Detroit City Council. She acts exactly the way you’d expect the wife of a man that supports World Can’t Wait to act. Few people hold the feet of people like Monica Conyers to the fire, but one brave little girl stood up to a woman who was used to getting her way through bullying, threats and outrageous behavior.
Kierra Bell lectured Conyers on manners, something Conyers needed a long time ago, and in so doing showed Mrs. Conyers that we live in a country of equals. For too long politicians and their wives and the hangers on who infest government have held themselves to be beyond reproach and the tenor of political discourse in this country has suffered for it.
Kierra Bell speaks for all Americans, left and right, Black and White, when she demands of Conyers a commitment to comport herself as a professional and for that she is a patriot worthy of all our admiration.
Here’s the video. Kierra grilling Conyers starts around 2:43:

The worst part is that Conyers seems to be arguing the point that she shouldn’t be expected to act differently than a child. Par for the course with the Conyers.
I think Kierra bell might become the official prosecutor for Red Alerts. What do you think? When ever someone argues something spurious and nonsensical I’ll just pull out this graphic as a warning:
As one Hot Air commenter put it, Kierra took Conyers to school.
Had I known you could still receive what amounted to a Letter of Marque I wouldn’t be sitting in front of a computer now, I’d be on a Carrack in the Persian gulf striking the Red Jack like fellow transplant to South Carolina Christopher Moody.
Anyone want to buy a blog, I’ve got provisions to lay in.
From Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A cargo ship hired by the U.S. military fired warning shots at boats suspected to be Iranian, the U.S. Navy said on Friday, underscoring tension in the Gulf as the Pentagon sharpened its warnings to Tehran.
According to American defense officials, the Westward Venture cargo ship chartered by the U.S. Defense Department was traveling in international waters when two unidentified small boats approached on Thursday.
After the boats failed to respond to radio queries and a warning flare, the cargo ship’s onboard security team fired “a few bursts” of machine gun and rifle warning shots, according to Cmdr. Lydia Robertson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet.
“The small boats left the area a short time later,” she said by telephone. “They were able to avoid a serious incident by following the procedures that we use.”
The news helped push oil prices up more than $3 to $119.50 a barrel — within striking distance of the record $119.90 hit earlier this week — as traders worried escalating tensions in the region could eventually disrupt crude shipments.
Well if oil prices are going to spike let’s put our privateers to work! Just in case you think this is an isolated incident:
In March, another U.S. military-chartered ship preparing to cross the Suez Canal fired warning shots at a small boat, killing an Egyptian on board.
American privateers don’t mess around, and seem to be able to do the job the English navy can no longer do, that is defend themselves on the high seas.
Hot Air has a more timid examination. Figures those land lubbers would go all soft and not raise a toast to the bloody handed sea dogs who sent those Iranian Mahdi-lovers packing. They’re working off a BBC report but I won’t link to a hack outfit like them who make up news.
KPTM has more.
I say to the crew of The Westward Venture well done lads, well done indeed.

Update: Yes Jawa readers I know these are not technically Privateers, they’re federal employees. What I didn’t know was that the Internet was full of tiresome killjoys. Leave your corrections in the comments and stop emailing me.
Not bikini pics of Marsden you understand, just a little something for the 12 people a day who get to Red Alerts by searching the terms “bikini” “Rachel Marsden” and “Video” or variations of that theme.
First up is video of the lovely and talented pundit who lives a rock star kind of life. Marsden’s returned to her blog after a brief hiatus and is promising to do a regular vlog while taking in the scenery of former Red Alerts stronghold New York City. In this one she’s down by the south street seaport talking politics and showing us all how Nicolas Sarkozy is supposed to be pronounced:

Nice. Now that Michelle Malkin thinks doing a daily Vent is beneath her Marsden can swoop in and become vlog queen of the rightosphere. Keep ’em coming Rachel!
But what about those bikini pics I promised? All right, how about these photos of Hellfireblogs favorite web model Tara Bush:
Kind of a bikini
Patriotically promoting traffic safety:
And the pic that drives the traffic:

So, is it time to shelve Tila Tequila as Red Alerts favorite capitalist?
An Illinois mother showed a world full of slacker parents how it’s done when she discovered her teen daughters MySpace page was full references to her stonerdom. Let’s just say she’s a “tough love” kind of gal:
ZION — A revelation on a MySpace page resulted in an April 8 arrest of a 17-year-old on charges of unlawful possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
The teen’s mother said she was alerted to her daughter’s marijuana use when she read the daughter’s MySpace page that was left open on her computer. The mother told police she read a conversation between her daughter and a friend that included statements of smoking “weed” and possessing “weed,” a police report stated.
The next day, the mother told police, she found her daughter’s digital camera in the family’s living room. The camera had a stored video clip of a friend of the daughter’s apparently smoking marijuana with a pipe.
The mother found the pot and the pipe in her daughter’s sweatshirt the next day, and brought it to Zion police headquarters.
Awesome. That’s how parenting is supposed to look. Tough, fair and forward looking. The kid got charged with possession, and her friends bailed on her (of course) claiming they only “simulated” smoking pot with her. After taking the rap alone you think she’ll realize what kind of people you end up surrounded with when you’re a stoner?
And who says pot doesn’t affect your decision making skills? She left her pot reference covered MySpace open where her mom could see it and filmed herself getting high. Sounds to me like she either wanted to be caught or she was seriously “burned” as we used to say decades ago. Either way her mother was there to pick up the mess, good job mom!
