Atheists for Democrats!

Believe it or not, the following “personal fundraising” pitch you’re about to read actually comes from the Democratic Party’s Home Page. So, get out your wallets and get ready for the….Atheists for Democrats! “Step up to the plate! I’m sick of talking about how quickly this country is headed toward a theocracy. I want to […]

 

An Open Letter To Ann Coulter

You know, I’ve always been a big fan of yours. I’ve read all your books, interviewed you twice (here and here), and quoted and linked your work countless times. Why have I done that? Because you’re intelligent, gutsy, and have a knack for saying things other people know are true, but don’t have the guts […]

 

A Review Of The Saddam Tapes Segment On NightLine

I caught Nightline last night and it wasn’t the blockbuster segment I think a lot of conservatives, myself included, were hoping for. On the upside, these tapes seem to contradict what is now the official story: that Saddam destroyed his WMDs after the Gulf War. Since the Iraqis were explicitly admitting that they were lying […]

 

Iraqi Troop Update

This report from USA Today about troop readiness sounds very optimistic: “The U.S. military says 40% of Iraq’s combat battalions are effective enough to have taken the lead role in fighting the insurgency, a key measure for determining when U.S. forces can withdraw. The U.S. military expects to complete the handover of responsibility to nearly […]

Harry Reid’s Hypocrisy

On the one hand, I’m already kind of bored with the whole Cheney hunts “the most dangerous animal” story, but on the other hand, these fascinating little angles keep being burped up, one right after the other. For example, here’s Harry Reid yesterday on the delay in reporting the shooting to the press: “Talk about […]

 



Mobile Home Madness

Of all the extravagant wastes of our tax dollars in American history, few expenditures can compare to FEMA’s decision to buy mobile homes to house people temporarily displaced because of Katrina. Even now, as the Katrina families in hotel rooms are starting to be told to find other places to live, there are nearly 11,000 […]

Dick Cheney Is ‘The Godfather’

Since Dick Cheney accidentally peppered his pal, shot his sidekick, and blasted his buddy, I think we all knew the moment would come when some wacko Democrat would go way over the edge and accuse him attempted murder for nefarious purposes….oh, you didn’t know that was coming? Don’t you realize how kooky these people are? […]

The Paranoid Style of Politics: 20% Think The Government Is Spying On Them — By Ace Of Spades

Okay: About a fifth of Americans think federal agents have listened in on their phone calls, a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll released Tuesday suggests. Twenty-one percent of the 1,000 adults who replied to the survey conducted Thursday through Sunday said it was very likely or somewhat likely their conversations had been wiretapped, while 52 percent said […]

Faux Outrage From The White House Press Corp

To tell you the truth, the mainstream media’s faux outrage over not being alerted sooner about Dick Cheney mistaking one of his pals for quail has already gotten old. Here’s a long report from Time on the whole thing: “Cheney insisted on carrying out a strategy he had worked out with the ranch owner, Katharine […]

 

Better To Be Nuked Than To Bomb Iran?

One of the fascinating things about polls is that relatively minor changes in the way that a question is phrased or coming at an issue from a slightly different angle can cause wild shifts in the results. For example, take a look at these results from a CNN / USA Today / Gallup poll of […]

 

Ugly Poll Numbers For The Palestinians

Last month, it was revealed that Hamas hired a spin doctor to try to improve their image with Americans and Europeans. Well, if the latest Gallup Poll is on target, even if they could get their hands on the billion plus Arafat stole from the Palestinians and hire PR firms with it, it wouldn’t make […]

 


Faded Heroes By DJ Drummond

It’s no surprise that Democrats, especially Liberals among them, have been exceptionally unhappy with President George W. Bush. Besides the obvious self-pity that they exude at every opportunity, and the ill-chosen flight from maturity in their choice of descriptions, there seems a genuine note of desperation. And that got me thinking. When 2009 rolls in, […]

An Obligatory Cheney “Peppering” Post

Dick Cheney made an enormous, embarrassing mistake when he “peppered,” “blasted,” “shot,” however you want to put it, his pal Harry Whittington during a quail hunting trip. Whittington is lucky he wasn’t seriously injured in the accident and Cheney was right to apologize to him. However, the left side of the blogosphere seems to have […]

 

Likability And Politics

Dick Morris worked for the Clintons for a long time and therefore, knows them very well. That’s why it was sort of a surprise when he started running around claiming that Hillary was an unstoppable juggernaut and the only hope the GOP had was to run Condi Rice against her. Today, Morris has written a […]

 

All Hail Wal-Mart!

The left’s obsessional hatred of Wal-Mart seems to be picking up steam. Now, there’s even a liberal anti-Wal-Mart documentary / political propaganda piece taking shots at Sam Walton’s baby: “A documentary on the perils of runaway capitalism that spotlights Wal-Mart screened at the Berlin Film Festival on Saturday, and interest among European distributors and television […]
