One of the things I’ve picked up on over time is that people on the left tend to get even more wacky than normal after they get hit with what they believe is a big loss. And yes, having Arnold “terminate” Gray Davis qualifies as a, “big loss”. Just to show you what I mean, […]

“Dah!” Arnold Schwarzenegger yelled as he picked up his desk and snapped it in two. “You have to calm down,” President Bush told him, “You have to expect these kind of attacks from evil people like Gray Davis.” “Woman have boobies and I like to touch them!” Arnold shouted, “Why is that wrong?” “Hey, I […]

Here’s an exchange from the interview I did with David Limbaugh… “John Hawkins: Here’s another quote about the left and religion from Ann Coulter.

During the California Recall Symposium I asked, “I have to wonder how many Republicans who genuinely hate Clinton are going to pull the lever for someone who’s far worse morally?” Judging by the fact that few people seem to be bothered by the latest accusations (here & here) — which are just the cherry on […]

Reading things like this coming out of a REPUBLICAN administration just makes me want to pull my hair out… “Bush administration officials yesterday angered lawmakers by refusing to take a position on illegal aliens obtaining U.S. driver’s licenses and avoiding questions about its decision to recognize Mexican identification cards.” I’m a little confused about something […]
