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. Now, your book is called, “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years.” First of all, how do you know that we’ve had global […]

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 […]

Black community upset that more qualified black police officer PASSED OVER for a promotion given to a minority. I love it. Welcome to Affirmitive Action, Baby: Black community leaders and officers are decrying the Denver police chief’s decision to pass over a highly qualified black commander for a top leadership position. Chief Gerry Whitman told […]

Honorable Mentions: “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, “Fearless,” “The Street Fighter.” 12) Enter the Dragon: When it came out, it was revolutionary. Now, not so much. But, it’s still good. 11) Iron Monkey: The martial arts version of Robin Hood. 10) Rumble In The Bronx: Cheesy, yet creative. The movie that made Jackie Chan in the […]

At first, it was hard to pay attention to this scrap between the military and Nancy Pelosi over how big of a military plane she’d get, but when it gets to the point where Pelosi wants to inconvenience the troops so she can shuttle her political supporters around the country with her, that’s a little […]

Want to make a liberal get so mad that he can’t see straight? Well then, just tell him that he doesn’t support the troops and wait for ranting and a stream of obscenities to begin. But, the truth is, despite their politically motivated protestations to the contrary, the majority of liberals genuinely do not like […]

Yesterday, Netflix finally sent me a copy of, “The Protector,” a killer martial arts flick starring Tony Jaa. Was it good? Oh yeah… This clip doesn’t really do justice to the movie, which is one of the best martial arts films I’ve ever seen, but it’s not bad. PS: I don’t think I’ve ever done […]

This is a guest post that I’ve done over at TomDeLay.com. Over at the Democratic Underground, their frustration at being unable to surrender to Al-Qaeda has boiled over, and now they’re giving their blessing to the murder of American troops by terrorists in Iraq. The thread is called, “Do the Iraqi people have a right […]

Over the last few days, a lot of liberals have been complaining incessantly about the Snickers commercial from the Super Bowl. You know, two guys start chewing on different ends of a Snickers bar, accidentally kiss, and then start ripping off chest hair in an effort to do something manly. I mean you would think […]

The lovesick, deranged astronaut story just gets more and more fascinating as the details continue to come out (emphasis mine): “Hiding her face from the cameras, astronaut Lisa Nowak returned to Texas on Wednesday, a day after being charged in Florida with trying to murder the woman she believed was her romantic rival for a […]

Since yesterday would have been the Gipper’s birthday if he were still alive, I thought it would be a good time to put together a few tribute links to the greatest President of the last century. Enjoy! Reagan’s Pointe du Hoc Speech — June 6, 1984 “The men of Normandy had faith that what they […]

Before the 2004 elections, bloggers on the right were treated as afterthoughts by the GOP. They really didn’t know or care much about what we were doing back then. After the election, they started to send a few releases out here and there and then, about the time we started relentlessly pummeling Harriet Miers, they […]

If you see a crime occur in the street right outside your house, you’re not required to call the police. If you’re walking past someone who happens to be drowning in the ocean, you’re not required to throw them a life preserver. If someone asks you to be a part of a community watch, you […]

The ink has barely dried on its new code of conduct, and already Congress is redefining ethics and pork to fit a global warming agenda. As Will Rogers observed, “with Congress, every time they make a joke, it’s a law. And every time they make a law, it’s a joke.” However, life-altering, economy-wrecking climate bills […]

In my opinion, this seals the deal: The Lite Brite losers deserve jail time, “The bomb hoax bozos whose light-up devices sparked a Boston terror panic were caught on camera standing with spectators and filming the massive police response, the Herald has learned. Transit police surveillance photos taken at the Sullivan Square MBTA Orange Line […]

Why can’t we seem to balance the budget in this country? It’s not because our taxes aren’t high enough, it’s because the looters in Congress and the White House keep spending more and more of our money every year. Take a look at how President Bush’s budgets have ballooned during his time in office and […]

Bizarrely, the New York Times is claiming that, “G.O.P. Senators Block Debate on Iraq Policy.” I say bizarrely, because it’s the Democrats who want to end the debate, do a few floor speeches, and vote while the GOP is opposing cloture, which means that the debate keeps going. Additionally, Mitch McConnell deserves some credit for […]

“One of the losers in the weekend oratorical marathon was retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who repeatedly invoked the West Point motto of “Duty, Honor, Country,” forgetting that few in this particular audience (at the Democratic National Committee) have much experience with, or sympathy for, the military.” — David Broder Hat tip to The Hillary Spot […]

Sure, he would have no chance of winning, but he might have to get off the air for a while and that would be worth something: “Michael Savage, the radio talk-show host whose books at Shop.WND.com include “The Enemy Within” and “Liberalism in a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions,” says he may leave the airwaves to […]

Danny Carlton: (I’m) just still fighting this stupid bug. John Hawkins: Yeah, I am sick, too…. Danny Carlton: I’m past the achiness but the sneezing, coughing and runny nose are kicking in. Some would say that means my immune system has won the battle and is just cleaning out the trash. I suppose Democrats would […]

If you want evidence that the Democrats have let their victory in 2006 go to their heads, this will do as well as any: “Presidential candidate John Edwards is embracing a position that has been political suicide in the past — admitting he would raise taxes. The 2004 vice presidential nominee is betting that voters […]

“…(T)oday’s Republican Party stands for life, limited government and national defense. And today’s Democratic Party stands for … the right of women to have unprotected sex with men they don’t especially like. We’re the Blacks-Aren’t-Property/Don’t-Kill-Babies party. They’re the Hook-Up party.” Madam Hillary also said the Bush administration “will go down in history as one of […]

On Saturday of this week, a consulting agency that just got hired on with one of the presidential contenders asked me if I’d be interested in signing up with them to help build a web presence for the candidate. We came to a basic understanding on Saturday and on Sunday, we finalized the deal. Now, […]

A lot of conservatives will think this is a bad idea, but there are actually some pluses to it: “The United States will expand assistance to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to include about 8,500 members of his national security forces and possibly 1,000 Fatah fighters based in Jordan, U.S. documents show. Providing non-lethal equipment and […]

Since at least way back in 2003, Slate has been gamely insisting that no soldiers were spit on back in the states after the Vietnam War. So, in other words, there’s a “spitting myth” out there. Originally, they based this on a book by Jerry Lembcke, who said he researched it and couldn’t find a […]

My last column at Human Events turned out to be the 6th most read story of the week. So, at least I went out on a positive note. On the other hand, my first column at Townhall, wasn’t one of the top 10 most read, but it was the most linked column at Townhall: That’s […]
