Year: 2007

“We are really making a difference here in Baghdad. These people haven’t had a sense of justice in such a long time. We’re rebuilding schools and parks, and I am working with the Baghdad judiciary on rebuilding their court system… For those of us who joined the legal profession to make a difference, this sure […]

I’ve been watching Amanda Marcotte, what’s her face, John Edwards’ sage with great interest over the last week and a half or so, if only because I’m working on a Republican presidential campaign myself. Of course, my situation isn’t exactly the same because I was hired by a consulting agency, not by the campaign, and […]

Some background: In 2003, the Dixie Chicks’ freedom of speech was crushed because some people disagreed with what they said about President Bush, Iraq, American flags without spit on them, etc. Now, if you look at the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, it clearly states (emphasis mine): “Congress shall make no law respecting […]

Just a little forewarning, folks, I’m sick as a dog and getting progressively sicker. I could give you the details, but let’s just say you don’t want to know. That being said, the show must go on and I will still pump out content today on RWN and over at CG, write a column for […]

Here’s the Associated Press headline, “U.S. general: No evidence Iran is arming Iraqis Pace contradicts claims by other U.S. military, administration officials. Now here’s what the General in question, Peter Pace, actually said: Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. forces hunting down militant networks that produced roadside bombs had […]

Over at The Politico, they’ve been talking to Karl Rove about the 2008 race. Long story short, Karl says, too much, too soon, which is probably something even diehard political wonks would agree with. On the other hand, there were a couple of things Rove said that really stood out, Looking to the immediate political […]

Combining two scary things that go great together: Hillary Clinton and a movie poster for the Evil Dead. Hat tip to my pal Mary Katharine Ham for the inspiration. Also see, Hillary in 2008 Campaign Poster #1

CBS News has out a fascinating poll on the war. I say “fascinating” because although it’s split on a lot of questions and shows that Americans are generally pessimistic about the war, it also definitively shows that Americans DO NOT want to cut and run in Iraq. Yet according to Newsbusters, here’s how Katie Couric […]

This week-end, I went ahead and set up a MySpace page, as much as anything because I believe one of my duties will be setting up a MySpace page for the presidential contender I’ll be working for through a consulting company (Hopefully, I will be able to announce the name of the candidate in the […]

Hat tip to the The American Princess for the video.

As I headed over to Memorandum today, I expected to see a slew of liberal attacks on Aussie PM John Howard after he had the audacity to speak the truth about Barack Obama and the Democratic Party: “Senator Obama has introduced a bill to remove US combat forces from Iraq by March 31 next year […]

Of late, there have been a few posts showing up that discuss how the traffic flowing into the blogosphere has cooled off a lot in the last couple of years. Here are a couple of them that touch on that topic, Chris Bowers at MyDD says that, “Since late 2005, I have seen a mounting […]

In Arizona, they have a minimum wage law that just went into effect last month and predictably, people are losing their jobs as a result of it: Mark Messner, owner of Pepi’s Pizza in south Phoenix, estimates he has employed more than 2,000 high school students since 1990. But he plans to lay off three […]

It seems that opinions against the war in Iraq have to permeate everywhere. Here is Jonathan Yardley reviewing a compilation of essays, This Mighty Scourge, by renowned historian James McPherson on the Civil War and he can’t resist a little dig at the present administration. He shows how the “Brahmin elite” of Boston provided invaluable […]

“There is little doubt that many elements within America’s political elite want the United States to fail, for a variety of motives. At least some of those elements would do all they can, short of being charged with unpatriotic behavior, to ensure that the outcome of the war in Iraq is seen as a defeat […]

You can see the overall results by clicking here. The results broken out per blog will not be available for 24 hours. Update #1: They must have gotten a lot of big links because it looks like the poll is broken. Update #2: It looks like it’s back up.

Fred Phelps and his cult have apparently moved on from protesting the funerals of gays and soldiers to just protesting the deaths of random people: “Attorney General Greg Stumbo told law enforcement officials in Bardstown that protestors who plan to demonstrate at a funeral Saturday for 10 fire victims could be subject to arrest. A […]

“I would like to say we’re at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let’s just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.” — Liberal columnist Ellen Goodman

Granted, this poll is about a week old (not sure how I missed it when it came out), but it’s too significant to ignore. Hat tip to Ankle Biting Pundits for the story.

Although I didn’t see the original post, I heard rumblings about this story yesterday: “A lesbian activist who runs the weblog “Pam’s House Blend” has banned one of the people who posts on her site after the comments there, which often are bizarre and hateful, suddenly shifted to what could have been perceived as criminally […]

I wonder if Bin Laden realizes how good he has it with people like Jim Moran and John Murtha holding power in Congress? These hapless, “useful idiots” on the left want to force Bush to close Gitmo and either release the terrorists & enemy troops held there or put them in the American court system, […]

Yesterday, I did a short interview with Dennis Avery, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and the co-author of “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years.” Here’s the edited transcript of the interview.

As you’ve no doubt already heard, Anna Nicole Smith has passed away at only 39 years of age. Although it’s sad to hear that Smith died, during the few times I caught her reality TV show, she came across as perpetually on something, so I guess her untimely death isn’t necessarily a huge surprise. Still, […]

Earlier today, I was in on a teleconference with former Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu. Here my notes (not quotes) from the teleconference. Opening Statement It’s 1938, Iran is Germany, and it’s racing to get nuclear weapons. Iran could be the first non-deterrable nuclear power. They are an apocalyptic cult that may be willing to sacrifice […]
