America, Superman, Liberia, & Magic Buttons: After reading my post about why we shouldn’t get involved in Liberia, AG in Houston wrote the following in the comments section…. “I believe you are a good person at heart and I take this post in jest. It is my opinion that taking Charles Taylor down and destroying […]

Federal Judge Rules Virginians ‘Stupid As Texans’ By Scott Ott: A federal judge yesterday ruled that citizens of Virginia are “as stupid as Texans” when he blocked enforcement of a law against infanticide which had been passed by the elected representatives of the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Judge Richard Williams, a Carter appointee, […]

Know Thy Enemy: Hurricanes By Frank J.: Hurricane Bill has been downgraded to a tropical depression, so, just after the nick of time, here’s some info on hurricanes. I have lived in Florida for over two years now, which, though I’ve never actually seen a hurricane, makes me qualified to talk about them from all […]

Poll Numbers Show The Medicare Drug Benefit Is Great Politics, Even If It’s Terrible Policy: I could not be more opposed to the bloated, elephantine, prescription drug benefit that the GOP is gleefully helping to shove through Congress. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who votes for that monstrosity has lost the right to ever […]

RWN On Crossfire?: Someone just emailed me and said the interview I did with Ann Coulter was mentioned on Crossfire. Can anyone confirm and give me some details if they were watching? ***Update***: Here are the relevant quotes from the transcript… BEGALA: Well, let me also thank you on behalf of Senator Miller, who I’ve […]

Walmart Vs. The DMV: As I stood in line at the DMV today, it occurred to me that you can explain a number of big government vs. private industry issues by simply asking people to compare Walmart to the DMV. When I go into my local Walmart, I have a greeter who usually says “hi” […]

In My World: Attack of the Belgians Part III By Frank J: (Part 1 is here & Part 2 is here) Rumsfeld smashed the reporter’s head into the podium. “That’s your head being smashed against wood,” he said. Rumsfeld then slammed the reporter’s head through a window, breaking the glass. “And that’s your head hitting […]

This Puts Clinton Into Perspective Doesn’t It?: I know a lot of people were concerned about having someone with Bill Clinton’s character running the show. But it could be worse, much worse. Take Elagabus, a 14 year old “hereditary priest of the Syrian Sun god, Elagabal” who ruled the Roman Empire from 218-222 AD. Not […]

Celebrating Thurmond’s Death: Whether it’s Michele Catalano or the Democratic Underground, it shows a real lack of class to mock your political opponents when they die. I could understand being pleased at the death of our country’s enemies, but if you’re all jazzed up because someone who you dislike politically passes away, then I think […]

Spike Lee Has To Put His Money Where His Mouth Is: I have been following Spike Lee’s Court Battle with Viacom over “Spike TV” since the story first broke. Here are the nuts and bolts of the case for those who aren’t familiar with it… “(Spike Lee) is suing Viacom’s TNN over plans to change […]

Immigration Is Destroying California By Alan Caruba: There was a time when America needed immigrants to work in its factories, to help build its infrastructure of roads, bridges and tunnels, to go West to farm its plains, and all the other tasks necessary to nation-building. That era is over. Now immigration, especially illegal immigration from […]

Frank Discussions: Democratic Presidential Candidates By Frank J: Sometimes you feel like a nut (Democrat primary), sometimes you don’t (general election). So which Democrat candidate will be nutty enough to win the primary, winning that hearts of the Democrat base of drooling idiots? And will he make himself too nutty to be viable in the […]

Nuclear Bombs Knocked Down The WTC: The kooks at Serendipity have a novel theory to explain what happened on 9/11. It seems that WTC may have been destroyed by small nuclear weapons. Here’s their theory of what happened on 9/11… “(A)lthough some kind of “black” technology may have been used in the demolition of the […]

Rick Santorum Deserves An Apology: I’m not going to endlessly pontificate about the SCOTUS decision in the Texas sodomy case, although I believe that it was little more than six justices overturning a law based on their personal beliefs, dressing it up a little, and twisting the Constitution to try to justify their decision. Our […]

The Democratic Underground Post Of The Day — Defending The Windshield Killer: Most of you have heard of the ‘Windshield Killer’s’ unthinkably hideously cruel murder of a homeless man.

An Interview With Ann Coulter: Unless you’ve been living on a desert island, you know who Ann Coulter is. Her books like “Slander” & “Treason” sell like hotcakes, her columns make waves all over the net, & you can barely turn on Cable News without seeing her face when she’s promoting a book. Well, I […]

America Sucks — Hooray I’m A Citizen!: Writing a column like this just after you’ve become a United States citizen is the equivalent of saying, “I did it” right after the statute of limitations runs out. Isn’t America lucky to have a new citizen like Purvi Patel who wrote the following… “…(IT) reinforced a growing […]

Teaching Hawaiian Separatism To Our Kids?: According to an article on FrontPage Magazine, there are a group of anti-American Hawaiian separatists trying to set up their own little apartheid state in Hawaii where, ‘”Hawaiians are…entitled to political and economic supremacy” over all non-indigenous Hawaiians.”‘ Here’s a poem written by one of them, a college professor […]

In My World: Attack of the Belgians Part II: (Part 1 is here) “I just want assure everyone that the Belgians have not captured the president,” White House Press Secretary announced. “My question was about the tax cuts,” said the befuddled reporter. “Whatever.” Ari took a big drink from his flask of whiskey. “Oh, and […]
