Poll Claims Wealthy, Conservative, Devout Republicans are Happiest

Poll Claims Wealthy, Conservative, Devout Republicans are Happiest A Pew Research poll has found that Republicans tend to be happier than Democrats, the wealthy tend to be happier than the poor, and conservatives tend to be happier than liberals. While I tend to discount polls, this finding doesn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush Budget Helps Poor, Penalizes Rich?

Say what? Contrary to the usual criticisms, the federal budget proposed by President Bush helps the poor over the rich. Just as they do every year, the Democrats are complaining about the proposed federal budget. Balancing it on the backs of the poor, cutting benefits to the poor, cutting taxes for...

UN Urges US to Close Guantanamo, Release or Try Detainees

I just love this story. In a report released yesterday, the United Nitwits said that the United States should shut down its prison for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay and either release the detainees or put them on trial. It also called on the U. S. to cease practices that “amount to torture.” Oh,... Sign in to see full entry.

Cheney Accident Evidence That All is Well in the World!

Put a smile on your face! Cheer up! All the world's woes must have been resolved this week. The mad mullahs of Iran must have come to their senses and dedicated themselves to peace. Same for the terrorists in Iraq. Osama is no longer bin Hidin, and has been confirmed dead or captured. Energy prices... Sign in to see full entry.

Accident an Opportunity for Cheney; Shrillary says Bush Refuses to Level

Mr. Cheney has taken full responsibility for the hunting accident last weekend, as is entirely proper - and, I might add, entirely in keeping with this administration's approach to problems. So what should happen next? As he was in violation of Texas hunting law concerning that $7 upland bird stamp,... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Surprise, Surprise! Massive Waste in Katrina Refugee Spending!

Government relief efforts for Katrina victims has to be the ultimate expression of the big government syndrome of trying to solve problems by burying them in money. We spend millions of dollars chartering luxury ships that go unoccupied. We pass out thousands and thousands of no-risk, no-obligation... Sign in to see full entry.

Should Vice President Cheney Resign Over Hunting Accident?

Today I probably came as close as I ever will to hearing reporters having orgasms right there on the air. The setting was today’s press briefing at the White House, and the subject de jour was of course the Vice President’s hunting accident. Much of the briefing was a madhouse of questions about the...

Headline: “Brown Says White House Knew About Katrina Levees.” So what?

Our friends at the Los Angeles Times ran a story today about the Senate hearings into the response to Hurricane Katrina. I used their headline here verbatim, except for identifying the former FEMA head by name. Times staff writer Edward Chen leads off the story as follows: “The Bush administration's...

Jimmy Carter: One of the Obnoxious Brats of Politics

I used to have a tremendous amount of respect for former president Carter. He was certainly a mediocre president at best, and he was insufferably naïve about everything from foreign affairs to the economy. But he had an innate decency to him, a quality of just being a good man who was in far over... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

In the classic Star Trek episode, The Omega Glory, a primitive people called the Yangs is at war with the ruling government. As the episode progresses, the Yang war drums are heard in increasing volume in the distance until the Yangs finally invade the government city and defeat their oppressors. Their victory won, the Yang chieftain utters a resounding phrase, “That which was ours is ours again!” This blog is now a war drum. I add it to the growing chorus of drums beating in the hills around the city of Washington DC. I do not advocate a revolution of violence and war. But I am joining others in beating our war drums for a peaceful and sweeping revolution at the polls starting in November 2010. This revolution will restore conservatives to power, and that which was ours – liberty, prosperity, restrained government, the rule of law, and personal responsibility - shall be ours again.
