While his battle against his former swift boat comrades raged on, Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry learned today he will have to fight a two-front political war as yet another anti-Kerry group prepared to release a book and TV ads to challenge the candidate’s version of events in his life. ‘Senate Page Veterans for […]

Sam Kinison has always been my favorite stand-up comedian. While he was vulgar, grossly obscene, shockingly cruel, sometimes blasphemous, & outrageously offensive, he was also wickedly funny and delighted in skewering politically correct targets that few other people had the guts to take on. While Kinison is certainly no role model and would surely offend […]

I think Germany’s long and tortured transformation from a violent, militaristic, nation into a bastion of Euro-weenieness can now officially be said to be complete… “German men are being shamed into urinating while sitting down by a gadget which is saving millions of women from cleaning up in the bathroom after them. The WC ghost, […]

I know that there are some of you out there thinking, “Yeah, maybe John Kerry lied about what he did in Vietnam, but that was so long ago. So do the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth really matter?” Folks, not only do the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth matter, they matter A LOT. Let me […]

The Swift Boat Vets for Truth story first got traction on talk radio and in the blogosphere, but now the story is spreading to the mainstream media and John Kerry is taking a beating. In fact, the Washington Times has posted a very convincing piece from Swift Boat Vets for Truth John O’Neill and Jerome […]

Here are a few things that sprang to mind (in italics) as I read a puff piece about John Kerry that was based on his comments to GQ… “Democratic presidential contender John Kerry (news – web sites) has a soft spot for South African actress Charlize Theron but is adamant that second wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry […]

For a while now, I’ve been planning to put together a list of my favorite Bible quotes and I finally got around to doing it last night. As you read these quotes, do keep in mind that I am not a biblical scholar & that there are most assuredly hundreds of other great quotes from […]

This graphic just tickled my funnybone =D… I swiped this pic from the fine folks at SondraK.

Mark Steyn summed up the John Kerry Vs. The Swift Boat Veterans For Truth On The Christmas In Cambodia lie so perfectly in his latest article that I just had to post what he wrote… So what are we to make of Sen. Kerry’s self-seared 30-year-old false memory of Christmas in Cambodia with its vast […]

I enjoyed “Alien” & “Aliens”, “Predator” & “Predator 2”, and even the first big crossover movie “Freddy Vs. Jason”, so you’d think I would have really enjoyed “Alien Vs. Predator….but, it didn’t work out that way. That’s not to say that it was a terrible movie, because the movie did do a few things well. […]

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. “Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around […]

10) Maintaining John Kerry’s hair will create jobs, jobs that cannot be outsourced to India. 9) Under Kerry, kids might not know all 50 states, but they will sure as hell know all 57 varieties of Heinz products. 8) Our enemies will respect his strong, determined, vague inconsistency and learn to fear us. 7) Because […]

I just wanted to give a quick word of thanks to Daniel Radosh for mentioning my “Polling Conservative Opinion Makers About Blogs” article on CSPAN. It’s always nice to get those big media mentions….

“If you could pick up to four Presidents for “Mt. Rushmore 2″ who would they be? (Obviously, not including the four on Mt. Rushmore.)” — Bull_Moose Of course, Ronald Reagan was a no-brainer, as was James Madison because he was the “Father of the Constitution”. Andrew Jackson also made the list (although that’s in part […]

Q: “Your answer reminds me of the answers I heard to questions asked about Viet Nam 35 years ago. Stay the course, hang tough, get the job done, and, of course, “the light at the end of the tunnel”. I don’t like to draw historical comparisons because they’re facile and often wrong but I foresee […]

Q: “sound off on mcgreevy please” — UVACavaliers9 A: To tell you the truth, I really feel for McGreevy’s wife. You know this must have been devastating for her. Not only did she find out her husband has been cheating on her, but he has cheating on her with a man. Can you even imagine […]

Q: “How far would the Republicans have to go in 2004-2008 should Bush win for you to support a minor party in the congressional and presidential elections in 2008?” — tragicdreamer A: I guess I could give you some sort of theoretical answer like “Oh, if Bush replaced Rumsfeld with Michael Moore and Dick Cheney […]

Q: “Do you believe there is a danger Iran will invade Iraq if Kerry scales back US involvement in Iraq to minimal levels and actually succeeds in stocking the country with troops from our political opposers in the UN?

Q: “Would you say that a majority of Americans are reasonably intelligent people capable of discerning between the hype and truth in the political process?” — Archangel A: Yes, but with a couple of important caveats. First of all, there are partisans on both sides who are able to see the difference between hype and […]

Q: “Do you think that sites such as yours, and your counterparts on the left (This Modern World, etc.) do more to help or hurt America?” — Rastus A: The growth of the blogosphere in particular, and the growing influence of political websites in general, definitely helps America. These political websites on the net give […]
