“Perhaps a million illegal immigrants come into the United States each year, joining the 10 million or 20 million already here–nobody seems to know the number. Our borders are less borders than lines you cross if you want to. When you watch videotape of some of the illegal border crossings on a show like Lou […]

Specialist Joshua Sparling received only one greeting card this holiday season, which is more than any of the Muslim freedom fighters he killed ever will. But when he tore open the envelope and read the note inside, he was’t treated to warm words of gratitude or friendly yuletide well-wishes. Instead, Sparling was sucker punched by […]

Can you believe this classless, lame poll at the Daily Kos? Oh wait, it’s not from the Daily Kos, it’s from CNN and as I write this, it’s currently on the front page. Can you imagine this sort of headline for a liberal? Would we ever see, who is stupider: Barbra Streisand, George Soros, or […]

I’m scheduled to be on the Tammy Bruce show at 1:32 PM EST to talk about the 4th Annual Warblogger Awards. As far as I can tell, there is nowhere you can listen to the show live for free so I’ll have to let you know how it went when it’s over. *** Update #1***: […]

Patrick Ruffini over at the RNC set up a blogger conference call with a couple of Republican Congressman who just got back from Iraq. One of the Congressman, Jack Kingston, got in late on the call because he was at the White House, so the majority of the call was handled by Congressman John Kline […]

If the Democrats were to ever get their way and implement socialized medicine in the United States, here’s the sort of nightmare situation we’d see as a consequence: “One of the most decorated British fighter pilots of the Second World War has sold his medals, diaries and other memorabilia partly to pay for a hip […]

On Tuesday, after I hyped Dawn Yang as the most drop dead gorgeous woman walking planet earth at the moment, I couldn’t help but notice that her name, which had dropped off of Technorati’s top 10 searches, rocketed back up the list again (Did I do that?) Combine that with the fact that one of […]

Isn’t it something that, in the coverage of Saddam’s trial, his antics of telling the judge off and saying that he won’t return to the trial gets equal coverage of the terrible stories that the witnesses are telling? Or, rather it’s not even equal coverage. In this story from Reuters, it isn’t until the sixth […]

Fellow blogger Brian, over at Iowa Voice just lost his job. Ouch. I’ve been there and it’s no fun, although unlike Brian, I was lucky enough not to get laid off until after Christmas. So, why don’t you head over to Iowa Voice, pad his stats a little bit to help with advertising, and if […]

Unfortunately, the Iron Lady has taken ill and will have to spend the night in the hospital. On the upside, Margaret Thatcher should be out of the hospital in the morning. But of course, a few of the folks at the Democratic Underground are well, unfortunately, behaving as we’ve come to expect them to behave […]

“An agitated passenger who claimed to have a bomb in his backpack was shot and killed by a federal air marshal Wednesday after he bolted frantically from a jetliner that was about to take off, officials said. No bomb was found. The man, identified as Rigoberto Alpizar, a 44-year-old U.S. citizen, was gunned down on […]

From last to first… (Currently Reading) Dean Koontz: Dark Rivers of the Heart 30) Robert Leckie: Story of World War I (B+: I bought this one sight unseen so I didn’t realize it was for young adults and therefore shorter than the normal Leckie book. Still, it was an excellent overview of WW1. Probably the […]

“The day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress. “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 — a date that will live in infamy,” he began, and concluded by asking Congress to declare war on Japan. Congress did, with but a single disssenting vote. …The war lords of Japan might […]

Democrat National Committee (DNC) Chairman Howard Dean will join the USO Christmas tour this month, bringing holiday cheer to troops in Iraq with an inspiring musical message of hope entitled “We’ll Retreat ‘fore Christmas.” “Like all Democrats, I support our troops,” said Mr. Dean, who yesterday told WOAI radio in San Antonio, Texas, that Iraq […]

Gallup’s annual Ethics Poll is out and there are no real surprises here. The annual poll asks Americans to rate, on a scale of one to five, the honesty and ethical standards of those in 21 professions. Here are this year’s results. The number after the profession indicates the percentage of people polled who rate […]

So, a few days ago, I’m looking at the top searches on Technorati and I see the name Dawn Yang. I have no idea who Dawn Yang is, but I decide to check it out on a lark and this is Dawn Yang… Oh. My. Gawd. That is the most unearthly beautiful woman I have […]

There is nothing that fills a liberal media with quite as much glee as finding out that a prominent conservative has done something hypocritical. But, the media has never seemed to have much of an interest in investigating the hypocrisy of liberals. Enter Peter Schweizer’s new book, Do As I Say (Not As I Do): […]

My DSL has gone completely crackers. The only lights on are the Power and USB lights — despite the fact that I’m using an Ethernet connection. Of course, tech support has no clue how to fix it and quite frankly, dial up is so painfully slow that it makes me want to hit myself in […]

Just look at Howard Dean, the chairman of the DNC, waving the white flag to Al-Qaeda and you tell me the Democrats can be trusted to defend America (Yeah, sure): “Saying the “idea that we’re going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong,” Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean […]

More than 225 bloggers were invited to vote for their favorite blog in 15 different categories… 1) The Funniest Blog 2) Best Designed Blog 3) Most Missed (The best blog that’s […]

“I have always believed that good policy is good politics for Republicans. Reagan won against an incumbent president in 1980, declaring in his first inaugural address that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” I beat an incumbent Democrat in 1984, against the dire predications of my party’s political experts, […]

The old right-wing canard about having to pick up a Baghdad paper to read something positive about the war has proved as bogus and contrived as the reasons for invading Iraq in the first place. Suspicious over reports of actual progress in Iraq, the Los Angeles Times launched an investigation and was shocked to discover […]

Gosh, it’s annoying when Congressmen seek the limelight by sticking their noses in where it doesn’t belong. Now, they’re off investigating the Bowl Championship Series. “College football is not just an exhilarating sport, but a billion-dollar business that Congress cannot ignore,” said committee Chairman Joe Barton, a Texas Republican. Barton’s panel is separate from the […]

Question: “From Yahoo News today: ‘LATROBE, Pa. – Most U.S. troops will leave Iraq within a year because the Army is “broken, worn out” and “living hand to mouth,” Rep. John Murtha (news, bio, voting record) told a civic group. Murtha predicted most troops will be out of Iraq within a year. “I predict he’ll […]
