The folks over at One Jerusalem set up a conference call with Uri Lubrani to discuss Iran. Lubrani’s “posts have included Head of Mission to Iran, Government Coordinator for Lebanese Affairs, Coordinator of the Rescue of Ethiopian Jews, chief negotiator for the release of Israeli hostages, and Ambassador to several countries including Ethiopia and Uganda.” […]

It’s still very early in the game, but you’ve already got to wonder if this confession in the JonBenet Ramsey case is going to hold up. Number one, according to his ex-wife, this guy didn’t live in Colorado at the time of the killing. “Karr’s ex-wife, Lara Karr, told KGO-TV in California that she was […]

Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, running as an independent, gets 53 percent of likely voters, with 41 percent for Democratic primary winner Ned Lamont and 4 percent for Republican Alan Schlesinger, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Update #1: Just to toot my own horn a little here, from Quinnipiac: “In this latest survey, […]

According to the latest Zogby Poll, Bush’s approval rating has plunged again and weak Republican support has a lot to do with it: “President Bush’s job approval rating dipped two points in the last three weeks, despite the foiling of an airline terror plot and the adoption of a cease–fire deal between Israel and Hezbollah […]

When George Allen said that he didn’t know exactly what “Macaca” (as opposed to Macaque, a racial slur), the nickname he publicly used for a James Webb staffer, meant, a lot of people didn’t believe him. They thought that the claim that it was simply a corruption of “mohawk” didn’t quite seem sufficient. However, there’s […]

Rightroots could use a little help with our graphics. The ones that we have already look OK. But, we could use some more smaller graphics — particularly button sized images. Also, although I do love the blood red, tentacled, death elephant, we probably need something less, ah…what are the words I’m looking for — oh, […]

The story you’re about to read will blow your mind. Here, in the United States of America, we have children who are literally doing nothing but memorizing the Koran all day long: “The children, ages 7 to 14, are full-time students, in class 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, even in the summer. […]

As per usual with any significant UN led endeavor, the Israeli/Lebanese ceasefire agreement is quickly turning into a complete debacle. Of course, from the beginning, Hezbollah wasn’t required to turn over the kidnapped soldiers and they’ve only slowed down their attacks, not stopped. Moreover, Hezbullah isn’t planning to turn over their weapons: “Hizbullah will not […]

Earlier this week, I contacted Joe Lieberman’s campaign and asked about doing an interview. Granted, Joe’s way off to my left, but I figured the left-wing bloggers would get so angry if I interviewed him that their eyeballs would pop out of their sockets. So, for the entertainment value alone, it would have been worth […]

“First, we’re about 92 percent complete on the targeted 188,000 MOI forces that we’re working to train and equip. If you break that down into its major segments relative to the Iraqi police, we’re about 90 percent trained and 83 percent are equipped. And in particular, when you look at the nine key cities that […]

A lot of conservatives are very pessimistic about the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel. They figure, quite correctly, that the UN troops will be a joke and that Hezbollah will probably start rearming soon. However, there’s another factor that I think a lot of people aren’t giving proper weight to yet and it’s why I […]

These comments by Bill Clinton, about Joe Lieberman, have been getting some attention: “Lieberman has characterized his loss – and the need for his subsequent independent run – as liberals in the party purging those with the Lieberman-Clinton position of progressiveness in domestic politics and strong national security credentials. “Well, if I were Joe and […]

There have been a lot of changes over the last two and a half weeks and it’s time to reevaluate the Senate races although it’s still early and these rankings will change between now and the election. The higher the rating is, the greater the chance is that the seat might change parties. Dark Horse […]

Nobody in the blogosphere or MSM consistently gets more pictures from anti-war rallies than Zombie. Granted, he does live in San Francisco, a place where freaky liberal behavior isn’t exactly in short supply, but still, he makes the most of it. Here are some Zombie pics from a recent San Francisco “Stop the U.S.-Israeli War” […]

The left side of the blogosphere is up in arms because George Allen apparently, accidentally, referred to someone as a city in South Africa: “Virginia Sen. George Allen (R) apologized Monday for what his opponent’s campaign said were demeaning and insensitive comments the senator made to a 20-year-old volunteer of Indian descent. At a campaign […]

Now that President George Bush has declared Hezbollah defeated by its acceptance of the terms of a U.N. cease fire in Lebanon, the United States today will press the Security Council to grant it a similar ‘victory’ over al Qaeda. The U.S. proposal would call for “an end to the violence” between al Qaeda and […]

Tonight, I got in on a conference call with Rightroots endorsed candidate Mike McGavick, the Republican candidate for the Senate in Washington State. Bill Frist was there to introduce him to the bloggers, but McGavick did most of the talking. McGavick is an interesting guy. He got his start creating his own public affairs consulting […]

Over at the most popular liberal blog on the planet, the Daily Kos, Darksyde cites a few statistics that show how unlikely it is that any particular American would die in a terrorist attack and then explains that he couldn’t care less about stopping terrorism: “Here’s a message for both our homegrown Neoconservative, bloggy, gutless […]

Over at the ex-righty blog Balloon Juice, John Cole frowns on the new moniker that has started to catch on around the left side of the blogosphere, “people power,” — as in, “This is a victory for the people powered movement!” Here’s Cole: “It is just so hokey, so faux-populist, so nauseatingly poll-tested. There has […]

The New York Times is rambling on about the Bush Administration and the Geneva Convention today: In January 2002, when the Bush administration created the camp at Guantánamo Bay for prisoners from the war in Afghanistan, President Bush said he would be “adhering to the spirit of the Geneva Convention” in handling the detainees. Unfortunately, […]

Last week, when Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj got busted posting photoshopped pics as if they were real, I speculated that he was just, “the tip of the mountain.” Well, it looks like I was right.

Here is the mother of all bad political ideas for Republicans… “Columnist, blogger, novelist, and Army Reserve Col.

It strikes me as less improbable than the Kerry-McCain ticket MainStream Media reporters […]

“WHEN will the Muslims of Britain stand up to be counted? When will they declare, loud and clear, with no qualifications or quibbles about Britain’s foreign policy, that Islamic terrorism is WRONG?
