Year: 2007

With an opening like this, Michael Coren’s column in the Toronto Sun catches your attention: It’s the episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie that I missed. The one where the father is so angry with his teenage daughter for not wearing the hijab that he strangles her to death. Perhaps it will be in […]

Sorry to bring you more bad news, but the environmentalist war on children continues. Mark Steyn writes: But here’s something new that took hold in the year 2007: A radical antihumanism, long present just below the surface, bobbed up and became explicit and respectable. In Britain, the Optimum Population Trust said that “the biggest cause […]

I was browsing along this morning, when I came across this story linked at Ace of Spades. It’s about a man — Fernando Orozco-Trevizo — who kept his girlfriend chained to an engine inside their trailer. He also beat her and strangled her. The desperate woman was able to escape by drawing “Call 911” in […]

One hundred scientists from around the globe aren’t drinking the Goracle’s Kool-Aid, and have petitioned the UN to stop pushing the global warming hoax, and the hysteria associated with it. It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages. Geological, archaeological, oral and written histories all […]

Question: “I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. You know how it is, long time reader, first time poster. Anyway: I have a hypothetical question for you in many parts. Suppose that a charismatic small-government conservative with a proven track record as such forms an exploratory committee for a run at the Presidency. […]

Question: “Why do people in the GOP always worry about not pissing off the “social conservatives,” but they seem less worried about pissing off the “fiscal/security conservatives” for whom the social issues are far further down the priority list?” — RtWingNtCase Answer: The basic problem with fiscal conservatism is that everyone favors it in the […]

Question: “The Northest is expecting some snow today. 2-4 inches in NY, (sarcastic GASP!) and people are freaking out. Get a grip, people, it’s not a big deal. Anyway, it got me thinking about REAL severe weather. What is the most instense weather event you’ve experienced?” — Tom_pinko_Delay Answer: I was in college, staying in […]

Question: “With the Republican candidates talking about completely scrapping the current tax system, what would it actually take to accomplish this? It seems to have the visibility, the public seems to be behind it, it’s reached the presidential level – what’s the hold up?” — jasamc Answer: What would it take to scrap the current […]

Question (Via Email): “If you’re looking for an interesting topic to write about, I hope you will consider: why did Gilchrist endorse Huckabee? I think Huckabee’s new immigration plan is disingenuous. It referred to the INS for Pete’s sake. Also, I have heard, but not verified, that it contains Pence’s touchback plan, which is basically […]

Question: “What do you think of Windows Vista?” — Dinglehoff Answer: I have toyed with the idea of getting a new desktop computer, but have avoided doing it because I’m not that excited about Vista. From what I have seen, it is much faster than XP, but it is also buggy and there are a […]

Today at 2 PM EST, I will be liveblogging the Democratic debate. It will be interesting to see if they put the Dems in that same tight format and have the same moderator that almost everyone seemed to hate. 2:00: Here we go. Same moderator. 2:01: No gravel. No Kucinich, by the way. 2:02: I […]

Comparing Fred Thompson’s “I’m not doing hand shows today” moment from the debate yesterday to Ronald Reagan’s “I am paying for this microphone” quip.

After looking around the blogosphere, the general consensus seemed to be that Fred Thompson won (although Mitt had a lot of fans, too), that Huckabee, McCain, and Giuliani were ho-hum, that Alan Keyes shouldn’t have been on the stage, and that pretty much everyone in the entire blogosphere, aside from me, seems to have utterly […]

You just can’t make this stuff up…yes, believe it or not, the liberals at the Huffington post are actually hosting a symposium that tries to figure out whether the Democratic party should continue trying to appeal to white males or not. The general consensus seems to be against the idea, but not everyone that Team […]

I’ve been saying, over and over again, for a long time that, yes, Hillary Clinton is the candidate most likely to win, but she isn’t invincible in either the Democratic primaries or in the general election. So, let’s take a look at the first two primary states for the Democrats. Iowa is practically a toss-up […]

Can Iowa Caucuses be Polled? John Zogby asks, “Can the Iowa caucuses be polled accurately?” and then more-or-less answers the question. The premise is straightforward enough: The Iowa caucuses require voters to go to a local school, church basement, private home or similar meeting place to spend between 90 minutes and two hours to register […]

Harsh, but fair?

To be honest, I seldom watch the cable news shows anymore because they’re too slow compared to the blogosphere. Usually, these shows mainly consist of the hot story of the day repeated ad nauseum, material the blogosphere covered days earlier, guests spinning and being asked questions primarily designed not to allow them to inform, but […]

Drudge has been running a big splashy story that says, “DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE ‘EASY KILL’ IN GENERAL ELECTION.” The story goes on to read, Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal. The Democratic National Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, […]
