Three Cheers For The Filthy Rich!

Despite the fact that Democrats, not Republicans, are the party that heavily relies on donations from the rich, the GOP is often accused of favoring the rich at the expense of the poor. Yes, we’re in the pocket of the rich, we’re Robin Hood in reverse….yeah right, that’s bupkus. The left and the right simply […]

 

On The Radio Today At 5 PM

I am going to be on DennyRadio today at 5PM EST. They want to talk to me for 20 minutes or so about my Stupid Debating Tricks article. I’m not sure how we’ll stretch that out for 20 minutes, but then again time always seems to fly for me when I’m on the radio. If […]

 

Patrick Henry & The Bookbag Massacre!

Ah, there’s nothing like government working for the people and handling the important issues like the weight of bookbags kids are carrying… “Loaded with notebooks, books and a binder which alone weighs 6 pounds, the backpack Brito lugs to Framingham’s Cameron Middle School is 25 pounds of strain on his back, shoulders and neck. A […]

 

Do Not Call List United Congress By Russell Lutz

In a breathtaking and unprecedented display of bipartisan courage, Representatives and Senators of Congress banded together almost unanimously to support the creation of a nationwide FTC Do-Not-Call list to block telemarketers’ calls to uninterested consumers. The vote was 412 to 8 in the House, and 95 to 0 in the Senate. “We don’t care if […]

 





The Left’s Patriotism Persecution Complex

James Taranto points out the following Howard Dean quote from last night’s debate… “The biggest issue in this campaign is the question of patriotism and democracy. I am tired of having John Ashcroft and Dick Cheney and Jerry Falwell and Rush Limbaugh lay a claim to patriotism and lay a claim to the American flag. […]

 


North Korea — Vacation Paradise?

Oh yeah, this is going to work… “Strapped for cash, reclusive North Korea is looking to attract foreign tourists to its forested mountains and showpiece capital, a travel industry official said. “We definitely got the impression that people were quite keen to see more international visitors come in,” said Neil Plimmer, who recently led a […]

 

The Secret Constitutional Clause Exercise

Here’s a fun theoretical exercise I’ve been meaning to try for a while, but have deliberately (you’ll see why) not thought too much about in detail. Let’s say, just for the heck of it, we found out that the Founders included a special clause in the Constitution that said on September 26, 2003 one person […]

 


Iraq Vs. Kosovo

As all of you know, we’ve heard incessant complaining about how the rebuilding effort is going in Iraq. Many people have suggested that we should turn things over to the UN who are even now showing their commitment to Iraq by having some of their staffers flee the country. But before we get our “allies” […]

 

The Left-Wing Hate Fest

Marxist (really, he is) New York Times cartoonist Ted Rall explains part of the reason why he hates George Bush… “First but not foremost, Bush’s detractors despise him viscerally, as a man. Where working-class populists see him as a smug, effeminate frat boy who wouldn’t recognize a hard day’s work if it kicked him in […]

 

The California Goober Debate By Frank J.

I was flipping around the channel saying, “Dude, there’s nothing on,” when I saw what I thought was this Arnold Schwarzenegger movie I had never seen before. Instead, it was the California recall debate. So I watched the whole thing, and here is a summary: * Other than Arnold, McClintock, and Bustamante, there was also […]

 

The CIA Did Not Train Bin Laden

There are a lot of “myths” that seem to float around on left-wing websites. Things like “Bush went AWOL from the National Guard,” “Bush was a cokehead,” “We gave Saddam permission to invade Kuwait,” yada, yada, yada. Usually there’s some grain of truth, highly disputed claim, questionable source, bogus article, etc, etc, that gets these […]

 

Criticizing Us Is McCarthyesque! Oh Please…

Tom Daschle uttered this boneheaded quote today… “Any time somebody speaks out criticizing this administration or its policies, there is this orchestrated concerted effort to attack those who criticize. Criticizing those who are vocal in their personal criticism, their approach, their concerns, is McCarthyesque.” So apparently, if Democrats attack Bush or his policies, that’s freedom […]

 




Ahmed Qurei Claims Israeli Fence May Cut Into Their Killing By Marni Malarkey

Middle-East peace negotiations again fell through between Ariel Sharon and new Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei this week, when the two met at President Bush’s Crawford ranch to try and broker a deal. The main point of contention proved to be the security barrier erected by the Israelis between Israel and the Palestinian territories in […]

 

The Problem With Our Schools Isn’t The Money

Last week, I dug into some education statistics I got from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and showed Americans pay out more per pupil than any other nation in the world and yet, our teacher salaries don’t necessarily reflect how much we’re spending. While we’re near the top in teacher salaries (we finished […]

 

Joke Of The Day For Sept. 23, 2003

A squad of Infantrymen drove up the highway between Basra and Baghdad. They came upon an Iraqi soldier badly injured and unconscious. Nearby on the opposite side of the road was an American soldier in a similar state, but he was alert. As first aid was given to both soldiers, they asked what had happened. […]

Why Are Bush’s Poll Numbers Still Dropping And What Can He Do About It?

When it comes to election politics at this early date, before a Democratic candidate is chosen, I pay particular attention to two numbers to determine the President’s chances of getting elected: his approval numbers and his polling numbers vs. individual candidates. Well, according the latest CNN poll, Bush’s numbers have for the first time dipped […]

 

Chirac Demands Sovereignty for ‘Puppet Council’ By Scott Ott

French President Jacques Chirac called on the United States to immediately transfer sovereignty in Iraq to the “hand-picked American puppet council,” to prevent Iraq from becoming another “Algerian-style quagmire.” Mr. Chirac served in the military when a relatively-small native Algerian force overcame the vast might of the French military. Algeria declared its independence from France […]
