Year: 2006

It’s almost time for The 5th Annual “Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States: The 2006 Edition.” If you’d like to suggest liberals who should be included, please post them in the comments along with what they’ve done in 2006 that merits their receiving a slot. For inspiration, here are the last 4 years […]

From NewsMax.com… “I’m very pleased with the vigorous enforcement record the FEC compiled in 2006. The numbers speak for themselves,” FEC Chairman Michael Toner said in an interview. “It means strong confidence the FEC is properly prioritizing the most important cases and willing to pursue them to conclusion.” Oh really? Let’ look at those three […]

Oliver North On Dec. 6 Marine Maj. and Public Affairs Officer (PAO) Megan McClung, along with Operation Anaconda hero Army Cpt. Travis Patriquin and Spec. Vincent Pomante piled into a Humvee at Camp Ramadi, located outside of the city. They accompanied Lt. Col. Oliver North and his Fox crew plus at least one journalist from […]

This month, the Weekly Standard published my article “The Chicken Littles Were Wrong: The Bird Flu Threat Flew the Coop.” It was a follow-up to my cover piece from the year before, “Fuss and Feathers: Pandemic Panic over the Avian Flu.” After the blogger at Avian Flu Diary, whose expertise in the disease stems from […]

If you read nothing else today, or even this year, read this. It is just a short excerpt from an absolutely riveting essay by a man you may know more for bring you laughs than for sober analysis, yet it is probably the best thing I’ve read this year: Since what we know about America […]

Erin Brockovich hasn’t had much to laugh about this year This hasn’t been a good year for “America’s Sweetheart.” In one recent setback, in which she acted as plaintiff, she sued 31 hospitals she claimed were making unfair claims against Medicare. Her payoff would have been tremendous. But two separate judges tossed out all 31 […]

Little Green Footballs is holding its annual contest to vote for the Idiotarian of the Year. Who is the one person that you think made such a spectacular contribution to world stupidity that he or she rates the less-than-coveted award? The nominees are: Hugo Chavez John F. Kerry Keith Olbermann Mainstream Media Kofi Annan Cynthia […]

Donald Lambro touches today on what I think few people understand about the Congress. Our Founding Fathers deliberately created a system of checks and balances to make sure that momentary passions did not force through bad laws. They gave powers to the minority to block such actions. And, over the years, the Congress, particularly the […]

Four a.m. It’s cold and dark outside my small home in western Maryland. The slap of the newspaper hitting the driveway briefly jolts me awake as I blearily stare at the monitor. Behind my office chair a small but determined Weiner Beast wreaks havoc on carefully arranged stacks of Christmas wrap and bows with a […]

Incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wants you to know she is a Catholic. She’s going to receive Communion in a very public display of her Catholicism on January 3rd during her swearing in week. It is inappropriate that she do so. And it is inappropriate under Canon 915 that it be given to […]

As we approach the New Year, many of us will be planning for the year ahead and coming up with New Year’s resolutions. Well, our country should do the same thing when it comes to foreign policy. In many respects, we treat our foreign policy the same way that we did back in the Cold […]

At 4:15 EST today, I am supposed to be doing 15-20 minutes on the Ron Smith show. We’re going to be talking about illegal immigration. You can listen by going here and clicking on the “Listen Live” button.

— It’s great to see Ethiopians routing the Islamo-Fascists in Somalia. Hopefully, behind the scenes, we’re feeding cash and weaponry to Ethiopia because it’s certainly in our interest to see the sort of Taliban clones that had taken over Somalia defeated. — This just goes to show you how we’ve gutted the First Amendment in […]

Every so often, a crazy who goes by the handle of “Bush-Adm-Planned-911” spams me with left-wing drek and lunatic conspiracy theories. I complained a few times to his provider, bellsouth.net, about the spam, but apparently their users are allowed to spam with impunity because they’ve never done anything about it. Anyway, I decided to read […]

Just a little follow-up to my Human Events column from yesterday. Many people are presuming that an amnesty bill is good as through Congress now that the Democrats have taken over. They may be right. After all, the average Democrat is as bad on the issue as the worst offenders on the right, like George […]

Since the election, you may have heard pro-amnesty Republicans or liberals saying something like this, “The 2006 election proves that being tough on illegal immigration doesn’t work as a political issue. Look at J.D. Hayworth, John Hostettler, Randy Graf, and Henry Bonilla. After that debacle, the GOP is surely going to cave on illegal immigration […]

You know for people who are always going on and on about fascism, liberals certainly do seem to be comfortable with certain fascist tactics as long as they’re directed at the “right” people. Take popular liberal cartoonist Ted Rall, for instance, who has this to say on his blog: “A reader responding to my column […]

Since the New York Times editorial columnists have gone behind a subscription wall, the number of links to and discussion of their columns has dropped down to a very minimal level. Combine that with the holiday season and it’s not a big surprise that I missed Paul Krugman, last Friday, explaining why it’s OK for […]

This Is DNN is a video that imagines, “What if Today’s Media covered WWII?” The video is clever and well done, but it was also shorter than I expected at 29 minutes. Although I enjoyed watching the video (and if you’re conservative, you probably will, too), $19.95 seems like a pretty steep price for a […]

The other potential title of this post is: “Why John McCain Is Not Fit to Be President.” The collusion among all 3 branches of government in restricting Americans’ right to air their opinions during election season – the Congress for passing, the President for signing and the Supreme Court for upholding McCain-Feingold – was one […]

The AP reports that, “at least 2,978? American soldiers have now been killed in Iraq, which is “five more than the number killed in the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.” Some other bits of historical trivia: * More American soldiers died during World War II than at Pearl Harbor. * More […]

— Do you know what we have at the top of the food chain on the Republican side for 2008? A conservative when it’s convenient (John McCain), a Johnny-Come-Lately conservative (Mitt Romney), and not a conservative (Rudy Giuliani). Quite frankly, the conservative wing of the Republican Party isn’t well represented by any of these guys. […]

Stories like this one really help put the left’s hysteria over what they claim is “torture” at Gitmo into perspective. “Forcing store clerks to listen to the same holiday music over and over could be akin to torture and should change, a British noise pollution group said. The UK Noise Association and labor unions are […]

Supposedly, Muhammad Ali was the inspiration for Apollo Creed in the original Rocky movie and quite obviously, George Foreman’s return to boxing was the inspiration for Rocky in his sixth movie — and yes, it’s really Rocky #6! In this last movie, Rocky has long since retired from boxing, his beloved Adrian has passed away, […]
