Right now, all across the left side of the blogosphere, there are undoubtedly keyboards being pounded, Indigo Girls CDs being thrown across living rooms, and doves who won’t even swat mosquitoes are wishing horrible and foul dooms on half the Senators in their own party. Why? Because of the enormous wet, sloppy, kiss the Dems […]

The Democrats are flipping out over ABC’s movie, The Path to 9/11, that’s set to debut this week-end: “A furious Bill Clinton is warning ABC that its mini-series “The Path to 9/11” grossly misrepresents his pursuit of Osama bin Laden – and he is demanding the network “pull the drama” if changes aren’t made. Clinton […]

It has been more than 3 months since the last time I ranked my favorite 40 blogs, so I thought it was about time to do it again, for the third time in 2006. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, […]

Here are the results of a poll question at the Democratic Underground called, “Anthrax Attacks.” In case you’re wondering what MIHOP is, it’s short for, the Bush Administration “made it happen on purpose.” So, 80% of the liberal Dems who go to the DU believe the Bush Administration was actually sending anthrax to American citizens […]

So, a Green Party nutjob advocates capital punishment for George Bush on Chris Matthews’ show and Matthews lets it pass unchallenged? That’s pathetic… Chris Matthews: “Look, let me ask you this. Where are you on capital punishment?” New York Gubernatorial Green Party Candidate Malachy McCourt: “Capital punishment? I think that if, if I’ve got to […]

We’re looking to pull in 100 donations for each of our 21 candidates over at Rightroots. Towards that end, I’m going to be doing profiles of our candidates each day in order to give you a better idea of whom you’d be chipping in money to. Today, the candidates profiled will be Mike Bouchard and […]

Democrats in Florida’s 15th district have nominated a 9/11 conspiracy theorist to run for Congress. Dr. Bob Bowman had 55 percent over 45 percent for John M. Kennedy. The winner will face incumbent Republican Rep. Dave Weldon. But don’t worry, it’s okay for him to “quesion” 9/11, because Dr. Bob Bowman is a retired Air […]

You’d think people would show a little more sensitivity about this but for the idiotic it’s just another opportunity to score a laugh – at the expense of someone’s death. I was at YouTube tonight looking for a music vid to post here, and a link to one labelled “Steve Irwin’s last video” popped up […]

A recent USA TODAY/Gallup Poll showed that the American people are becoming progressively more hostile towards Muslims. For American Muslims, these are not encouraging numbers: “Thirty-nine percent of respondents…said they felt at least some prejudice against Muslims. The same percentage favored requiring Muslims, including U.S. citizens, to carry a special ID “as a means of […]

Bush went out and clearly explained how valuable our interrogation of terrorists has been by showing information gotten from terrorist A, helped lead to the capture of terrorist B, who gave us info that led to the capture of terrorist C. Then, he demanded Congress step up, authorize military tribunals and clearly tell our soldiers […]

— As you may have heard, Pakistan is pulling their military out of the tribal areas that are sheltering the remnants of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. What does that mean exactly? Bill Roggio says it’s an, “abject surrender,” by Pakistan to the terrorists. On the other hand, the Times Online says that this is part […]

This cute Spanish chick (At least I think the cute Spanish chick runs the website. It’s all in foreigner talk, so who can tell?) was directly linking to a picture of Steve Irwin on my server. That’s called bandwidth leeching and it’s bad manners in the blogging world, even when an attractive woman does it. […]

In our first month, Rightroots raised roughly $47,500 and Jack Kingston’s PAC chipped in another $14,000 to our candidates. That’s not a bad start for a virgin effort. Still, there’s a lot more to do on the fund raising front, especially with the GOP still struggling to retain the House. That’s why we’ve decided it’s […]

Since it’s a bit slow news day on the political front and since I’m a fan of lists, here are, in my personal opinion, the 10 hottest Hollywood stars — based totally on looks (and not in order). Jennifer Anniston Mariah Carey Lisa Edelstein Alyson Hannigan Anne Hathaway Lisa Loeb Marg Helgenberger Denise Richards Kelly […]

An “Islamic right to kill”? Expect Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR to fire off a stern letter to Mullah Dadullah forthwith. “Top Taliban military commander dismisses NATO casualty reports, warns journalists,” from AP, with thanks to Harrie: KANDAHAR, Afghanistan The top Taliban military commander on Monday said that NATO’s claims to have killed more than 200 […]

Fresh from my email, here are Newt Gingrich’s, 11 Ways to Say: “We’re Not Nancy Pelosi,” for Republicans running for office. Because it’s so good, I’m going to post all 11 planks of Newt’s suggested platform. Maybe I shouldn’t post that much of it, but politicians seldom mind that sort of thing as long as […]

No wonder Ann Coulter likes Bill Maher: the guy is honest enough to come right out and say the sort of appalling things that most liberals keep to themselves. For example, take a look at Maher’s latest appearance on the Larry King show. Here’s Maher expressing what liberals think… About America: “You know, this country […]

Here’s (now fired) Air America host, Mike Malloy, filling in for Randi Rhodes on August 28, (about 3/4’s of the way through the show): Mike: Ray is calling from New Jersey. Welcome to the program. Thanks for holding on. Ray: Hi Michael. Mike: Hey. Ray: You were asking for a conservative or a bush supporter […]

— As most of you know, Steve Irwin, “the Crocodile Hunter,” was killed when a stingray put a barb into his chest. The poor fella was only 44 years old and had a wife along with two young childen, so it seems particularly tragic for him to be killed in such a bizarre way. But, […]

Here I am on the North Carolina coast and I made it through Ernesto without the slightest incomvenience and today, during a hard rain, my power and phone went down. Can you believe that? Gah! So, I’m using somebody else’s computer to update. That’s causing a bit of a slow down, but the updates are […]

The Examiner reminds us that this week will mark the 60-day period in which the McCain-Feingold reform package has outlawed advertising by outside groups that mention a candidate for federal office. Before 2006, American election campaigns traditionally began in earnest after Labor Day. Unless McCain-Feingold is repealed, Labor Day will henceforth mark the point in […]

Movie Review #1: Crank If Grand Theft Auto were made into a movie, it would be Crank, a movie about a Hitman who’s poisoned with a drug that will kill him by shutting down his adrenalin gland. His only mission? To keep his adrenalin flowing long enough by moving, fighting, or having sex to get […]

I am a huge fan of David Limbaugh’s columns, but his latest is my all time favorite. I really, really wish I had written it. Please, if you only read one column this weekend, read this one. (If you read more than one, please read my Plame piece next.) If you are a supporter of […]

Well, this race, the 2006 off-year race to control Congress, is about many things. According to Susan Page and Jill Lawrence in USA TODAY, this race is about, “voters’ unease over Iraq, jobs and health care and a sense that the nation is on the wrong track.” And if those “moral values” happen to creep […]

John Hawkins sometimes quotes outrageous statements he finds posted at The Democratic Underground. Some of those quotes are pretty shocking, but since the posters are anonymous I sometimes wonder if they are all written by crazed liberals or if some are left by jokesters. I find that preferable to believing there are so many crazy […]
