“No seriously — imagine that you struck up a conversation with a relatively informed person who said, “I agree with John Kerry about the war on terror.” What, exactly do you think that person would mean? Would he be trying to communicate that we should stay the course? That we blundered going to war in […]

Some countries should have nuclear weapons, such as America. Then… well, that’s about it, but I guess it’s okay the British have some, and I don’t mind much that India and Pakistan have them as long as they just keep them pointed at each other. But know who shouldn’t have nuclear weapons? Iran, North Korea, […]

Here are what are in my opinion, the top 10 excerpts from last nights veep debate, in order. 10) Dick Cheney: “It’s important to look at all of our developments in Iraq within the broader context of the global war on terror. And, after 9/11, it became clear that we had to do several things […]

— Let’s get ready to rumble….. — Way to start with a loaded question. Here’s a quote from Bremer “I believe that we currently have sufficient troop levels in Iraq”. From Rumsfeld, “Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday he was misunderstood when he stated hours earlier that he knew of no “strong, hard evidence” linking […]

“Internet Polls: Few things are easier than influencing the results of an internet poll. All it would take to send tens of thousands of people to a local church website to write in Satan as a choice for a new pastor would be posts on a handful of large message boards and websites. In fact, […]

The VEEP debate tonight should be interesting. We have John Edwards, AKA the fluffy puppy, a man selected for VP solely because he’s pretty and slick, going up against Dick Cheney, a grizzled but not particularly charismatic political veteran who is far more competent than Edwards, but who usually gives the impression that he’d rather […]

Kerry mentioned a “global test” during Thursday debates, so I sent my crack research staff to find out what that could be. Ends up, it’s freely available from the U.N. Here it is: THE GLOBAL TEST FOR PREEMPTIVE STRIKES Brought to you by your local U.N. Please answer these questions with a “yes” or “no” […]

Since Ann Coulter has a new book out and since it has been about a year since the last time I compiled quotes from the bombastic blonde bomber, I thought it would be a good time to put together a year of quotes from Ms. Coulter’s columns. I think you’ll enjoy the quotes, particularly the […]

In a sane world, you wouldn’t need to explain why felons should be allowed to vote. But today, if you have enough votes to swing elections, somebody ** cough cough ** Democrats ** cough cough ** will rush to embrace you. In this case, we have MLK’s widow, Coretta Scott King, tying the rights of […]

Just take a look at these two survey/poll results and draw your own conclusions about who’d make a better President. John Kerry? “Nearly 9 out of 10 people in France would support John Kerry if they could vote in the U.S. election, according to a poll published Friday, Reuters reported from Paris. The poll came […]

Although it ran a scant 13 episodes, the western series ‘Johnny Nuance’ still prompts fond memories among baby boomers who followed the exciting weekly adventures of the treaty-slinging frontier diplomat. Featuring former matinee idol Lash LaDouche in the title role, the series debuted on CBS on March 4, 1958 as a mid-season replacement for the […]

So I hear a knock on the door and immediately my dog Patton is not happy. You see, to Patton, if somebody makes a sudden move, it’s fight or flight time. If someone runs, that means they must have done something wrong and need to be pursued. And if he hears a knock at the […]

If you’re familiar with the basics of how your computer and the internet works, you’re more unusual than you think. I can tell you that definitively because I do internet tech support and I’ve talked to people who have (and no, I’m not joking)… — Said they deleted all the .dll files on their computer […]

Since last night’s debate is going to be the topic du jour in the blogosphere today, I thought it would be worthwhile to go through the transcript and cull out what I think were the highlights of the debate for W. You’ll notice that Bush stayed on message and hammered home the idea that John […]

From the debate last night, John Kerry: “…No president, though all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the […]

You know why that’s such a great poster? Because Walking Tall, the original, not the pale imitation with the Rock in it, is such a great metaphor for the war on terror. Read these excerpts from a review of the movie by Adam J. Hakari and you’ll see what I mean… “All Buford Pusser wanted […]

Since it looks like Mt. Saint Helens is going to erupt again, I sent my crack research staff to find out all they could about volcanoes. Here is what they found: FUN FACTS ABOUT VOLCANOES * Volcanoes are like mountains… but with a gooey center! * What a volcano kills most people with is its […]

— From the Drudge Report, no other links yet… “Unbeknownst to Kerry adviser Mike McCurry, a C-SPAN camera quietly followed McCurry as he found Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart on Spin Alley floor and asked him his impression of the debate. Lockhart candidly said to McCurry , “The consensus is it was a draw.” I agree. […]

* So far Leher asks a question, Kerry ignores it and explains why Bush sucks or Bush ignores it and talks about his accomplishments. Blah! * Did Bush just say ‘vociferously’ or ‘fociferously’? * Ooh, Bush is playing dirty now in the Democrat’s eyes — he’s actually quoting Kerry when he was in one of […]

I just finished up the David Horowitz / Peter Collier book, Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the ’60s. It’s a good book, although it doesn’t compare to Horowitz’s phenomenal biography Radical Son, which covers many of the same topics and is easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. In any case, Collier and […]

The House has voted to make the oak the national tree. I guess that’s all fine and good, but trees all look the same to me. Why not some more national things? Like, we have our national bird, but what about a national animal? I say the T-Rex… if it doesn’t have to still be […]

Despite the inordinate amount of time that has been spent debating foreign affairs during this election season, particularly the situation in Iraq, there is a crucial issue that hasn’t yet received the attention that it deserves. The ignored point in question is how John Kerry’s over-the-top campaign rhetoric would make it almost impossible for him […]

One of the loony left’s biggest weaknesses is that they have such a burning, molten, hatred of Smirky McBushHitler AKA The AntiChrist that they genuinely have trouble understanding why everyone doesn’t realize that he’s the epicenter of evil. So they rant and rave and accuse him of doing everything raping Afghanistan for oil to letting […]

BLUE COLLAR KERRY WOWS CHEESEHEAD BARFLIES Kerry fared better in a late afternoon appearance in nearby Mt. Horeb, when he dropped in at the D&G Taproom to rub elbows with local voters. The candidate garned a loud cheer when he entered the tavern wearing a foam rubber cheese hat and a silk Packers ascot under […]

Face-off Overly Choreographed, Critics Charge A full transcript of Thursday’s presidential debate between President George W. Bush and Democratic nominee John Kerry was released today, sparking criticism that the debate has been overly choreographed by the committee representing the two major parties. The transcript, full of pre-planned quips and sound bites from both candidates, is […]

Boy oh boy, the stench of defeat emanating from the Kerry campaign is driving the lefties at the Democratic Underground out of their ever loving minds! In fact, there are so many nutty comments there right now, that I couldn’t just stick to one thread. So here’s a smattering of entertaining lunacy from all across […]

As I was perusing Michelle Malkin’s exquisite blog, I ran across this whiny column by ex-blogger Billmon of Whiskey Bar and I thought there were a couple of things in it worth commenting on. To begin with, Billmon opines that blogs “are losing their indie cred man because they’re being co-opted by the corporate machine”! […]

John Kerry’s ultra-liberal mentor, Ted Kennedy, has been out on the campaign trail talking about the war on terror and George Bush. Kennedy has been, as per usual, wrong about almost EVERYTHING…incidentally, what does it say about John Kerry that he has an ultra-left-wing dove out on the stump enunciating what he thinks about Iraq? […]

John Kerry’s selection for running mate has been out of the public eye for the latter part of the campaign. Democratic supporters are beginning to show their concern if Edwards will be able to perform as second in command. “Edwards is as involved in this campaign as he can be.” Said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe.
