The RNC again exposes the Democrats who are claiming Bush lied about Iraq’s WMDs as the incredible hypocrites that they are, but this time it’s on video. That’s right, you can see Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Jay Rockefeller, and Nancy Pelosi among many others talking about regime change and WMDS, in their own words, on […]

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, today endorsed a measure introduced by Senate Republicans that would force President George Bush to lay out his plan for ending the war against terrorists in Iraq. “We think it is important for a democracy such as the United States to be transparent with the public,” said […]

This is just grotesque… “A blind and deaf Australian woman who claims she never should have been born is suing a doctor for a lifetime of suffering in the country’s first “wrongful life” suit. Alexia Harriton, 24, is seeking compensation from the doctor who misdiagnosed rubella in the first trimester of her mother’s pregnancy, claiming […]

Hat tip to Sacred Cow Burgers for the pic.

itzamirakul: I don’t believe the “failed bomber” woman woman was involved at all…I think this is just one more staged event by BushCo.. First, they claimed it was Al Quaidea but they had no actual proof to make the public believe that claim. After all, any teenager with a computer and a wicked mind could […]

Tonight, Bush has unloaded another salvo at the Democrats over the war in Iraq and luckily, the RNC sent me the text of his remarks. So from my inbox to your ears, here’s an excerpt from the speech that features George W. Bush laying a smackdown on the donks: “Reasonable people can disagree about the […]

Mary Mapes, the disgraced former CBS producer who was fired over the fake memos CBS was peddling during the election last year, is still out there telling anyone who’ll listen that they were legit. Here is an excerpt of note from her appearance on Good Morning America: “Ross: “After 12 days of defending them, CBS […]

There sure are a lot of excited Democrats out there who think they’ve got George Bush and the GOP right where they want them. They think they’re going to get the Senate back, they think they’re going to get the House back, they think it’s going to be their year in 2006. But, they have […]

“The United States faces a lot of foreign enemies in Iraq. Most of these are individuals from other Moslem countries, come to oppose the “American war against Islam.” These are usually the foot soldiers and suicide bombers for al Qaeda. But this year, another foreign foe has been showing up in larger numbers; Saudi Arabians […]

“It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran’s Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did […]

The latest thread at DU started out simply enough, with a lefty poster acting as if it were actually courageous to condemn Abu Musab al-Zarqawi while simultaneously blaming the White House for his terrorism… ChiciB1: “Okay I’ll Say It… Zarqawi IS A LUNATIC!! As long as he’s out there doing HIS damage… OUR Idiot can […]

Our debate at home must also be fair-minded. One of the hallmarks of a free society and what makes our country strong is that our political leaders can discuss their differences openly, even in times of war. When I made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power, Congress approved it with strong bipartisan support. […]

“ELAINE: Yeah. Why not Susan. I should be friends with Susan. (smacks her forehead with hand) Of course! Susan! Oh! OK, I’ll see you guys. Huh. (rushes out the door.) KRAMER: That’s gunna be trouble. JERRY: Why? KRAMER: Jerry, don’t you see? This world here, this is George’s sanctuary. If Susan comes into contact with […]

Without the sacrifices made by the American soldier, our great nation would not be strong, free, and prosperous and this world we live in would be a much darker place. So thank God for the troops who’ve fought for America in the past, who’re fighting for this country today, and who will keep standing up […]

In Dover, PA, the school board was pushing intelligent design and apparently that didn’t sit well with the parents in their district. We can ascertain that because they voted all 8 of the school board members out of office and replaced them with people who were against intelligent design. If you believe that local school […]

The liberal blogosphere is up in arms about this church, which it believes is the victim of a politically motivated IRS investigation over a pre-election speech. Churches and other non-profits, as you know, are not supposed to engage in political activity. If they do, they lose their tax-exempt status. The sermon, while claiming not to […]

Take a look at this heaping hunk of crap: It looks like a really bad high school art project, doesn’t it? Well, guess how much this thing sold for?

At 2:30 today, I was fortunate enough to be invited to another conference call on Alito. This one featured Ed Gillespie, who’s billed as Alito’s sherpa up on Capitol Hill. The key thing they were trying to accomplish was to knock down the latest Democratic line of attack on Alito, which is that he may […]

Ross Douthat & Reihan Salam wrote a piece in the Weekly Standard about how the GOP’s domestic agenda should change in the Post-Bush era. Some of their analysis was good, some of it was bad, but the concept was terrific — and a terrific concept is worth stealing =D So, here’s my short, very generalized, […]

Oh, the irony just never stops up on Capitol Hill. On the one hand, we have puffed-up Senators threatening oil executives with a windfall profits tax and grilling oil executives about “obscene profits” that are less than a third of what corporations like Citigroup and Microsoft rake in. On the other hand, gutless Republicans in […]

“Of course, the oil companies have made a lot of profit lately, but so have many other businesses and industries. Although Exxon got big headlines for earning $9.92 billion in the third quarter, few analysts bothered to note that this only came to 9.8 cents per dollar of sales — well below that of many […]

How about helping me out with an article I’m working on by suggesting some of the greatest moments in the history of the blogosphere? I’m looking for things like the Trent Lott takedown and Rathergate and I’d hate to miss anything important. So, how about chipping in your two cents in the comments section?

Many of you may have already forgotten all the scaremongering about the draft that the left engaged in during the 2004 election…but not me. The Democrats ranted, they raved, they claimed that college students were going to be drafted and no matter how often the rest of us tried to interject some reality into the […]

Last night, as I was shopping at Wal-Mart, I walked past this mother, her baby, and her cute as a button daughter, who looked to be about 3 years old, and was, for some reason, holding on to two rolls of wrapping paper. So, the baby grabs something off of the shelf and the mother, […]
