Is This A First? Harry Reid Proves Republicans Right Re Immigration Reform!

Mind you, Whining Harry doesn’t recognize it as the truth, but as evidence that Bush is not credible on immigration (on which I actually agree to a certain extent, given six years of allowing the failure to secure our borders to be continued). Be that as it may, on his own website he presents two... Sign in to see full entry.

Rumsfeld: I Have a Real Job, so I’m Too Busy to Dispute Liberal Mythology!

At yesterday’s Pentagon press briefing, a reporter made the mistake of asserting that Secretary of State Rumsfeld has time to waste disputing every liberal book that comes down the pike, and Mr. Rumsfeld let him have it for such a dumb assumption. Here’s how it went: Reporter: “Mr. Secretary,... Sign in to see full entry.

Illegal Immigration Controversy Raises Tough Questions

There are some things about the illegal aliens controversy that simply defy explanation. Democrats claim that we should be checking every container arriving at our ports. Two-Sides Kerry made much of this during the 2004 campaign, and the idea resurfaced during the ports services brouhaha. Yet how... Sign in to see full entry.

Is DeLay Guilty Because He Resigned?

Some would presume that former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's resignation from the House mean that he's guilty of the charges brought against him by Ronnie Earle, perhaps even of involvement with the Abramoff scandal.

I’ve been away with a medical emergency most of the past week, and so here are highly condensed observations on news of the week. I may or may not expand on these. President Bush’s popularity is “plummeting,” according to the professorial Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s Situation Room Friday. Some plummet –... Sign in to see full entry.

What Double Standard? Judge Imposes “Spiritual Sentence” on Convict

I’m in too good a mood with the long-awaited Opening Day of baseball season to be my usual cantankerous liberal-bashing self tonight, so I’ll take on something that is just plain goofy instead. The Kansas City Star’s site has a decidedly odd story. A circuit judge in St. Louis has sentenced a woman... Sign in to see full entry.

The Global Warming Shtick - The Perpetual April Fool's

Time Magazine has cashed in on “global warming.” Its “Special Report” is magnificent – not for its content, but for its perfect demonstration of the idea’s folly. As such, I think it highly appropriate that the issue was released a few days before April Fools Day. “Be worried. Be very worried,” it... Sign in to see full entry.

Democrats Hold National Security Workshop – Gee, I Feel Safer Already

Under the auspices of Representative Jane Harman (D-California) and her Secure-US political action committee, 36 – count them, 36 – Democrats are convening a workshop on national security Monday. Well, shazayam! If Osama been Hidin wasn’t afraid before when the Democrats announced their Position... Sign in to see full entry.

Congresswoman Skirts Capitol Metal Detector, Punches Police Officer!

The double standard under which our elected so-called representatives can obey or disobey the law of the land at their discretion came to light in quite an unusual way today. All of us serfs and peons must pass through metal detectors when we visit the hallowed halls of the Capitol. Not so the... Sign in to see full entry.
