The Terrorist Attack In Bali: Terrorists in Bali have killed at least 187 people in a nightclub. Because of the al-Queda connections to terrorist groups in Indonesia and because a bomb also went off near the honorary U.S. consulate, many people believe that this attack was perpetrated by Islamic terrorists (I do as well). There […]

Who Says Sucking Up To Castro Doesn’t Pay?: Jimmy “Malaise Forever” Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Best Election Celebration Photo Ever: They had elections in Pakistan today, which to be honest, don’t really mean anything. I think this line from the article pretty much says it all… “The hard-line religious parties strong showing won’t topple Musharraf from his power base but it could slow his reforms, that included the banning of […]

Hamas Isn’t So Bad Huh?: From today’s World Tribune… “The Bush administration has acknowledged failure in winning full cooperation from the European Union in halting financing to Hamas and other Middle East groups deemed as terrorists.

Dumb Quotes From The Left Since 9/11: I’m doing an article on some of the stupid things prominent members of the left have said since 9/11. Particularly 9/11 and war related things.

Letting Sleeping Godzillas Lie…: I was reading about Tom Daschle’s latest poll driven flip-flop on Bush’s war resolution and I noticed a tied and old argument still being made… “It is not a victory to strike down one tyrant and breed 10,000 terrorists,” Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., a supporter of the Spratt proposal, said, adding […]

The Case For And Against Discrimination: Maryland gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Kennedy Townsend made the following statement to explain why she supports affirmative action… “He opposes affirmative action based on race.

Election Theft, Inc.: The Democrats tried to steal the Presidency in 2000 with the help of the left-wing Florida State Supreme Court. This year, the activist State Supreme Court of New Jersey came to the Democrats aid by ignoring New Jersey’s election laws in order to allow Frank Lautenberg to replace Robert Torricelli. Now the […]

The DC Sniper Attacks — Terrorist Or Serial Killer?: There has been a lot of speculation in the Blogosphere about whether the attacks in DC have been committed by terrorists (Islamic or white supremacist) or by what we traditionally think of as a ‘serial killer’. At first, I was leaning towards the former but a […]

Harry Belafonte Vs. Colin Powell: I am not the biggest fan in the world of Colin Powell but I thought Harry Belfonte’s latest comments went beyond the pale… “There’s an old saying,” Belafonte began. “In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and were those slaves that lived in […]

Do Conservatives Listen To Music When They’re Eating Endangered Species?: I was inspired by an article I read yesterday called “Southpark Republicans” to talk a little bit about the TV shows I watch and the music I listen to. First off, I don’t watch a lot of TV. But when I do watch TV, for […]

The Aliens Are Coming And The UN Is In Charge?: As usual, the Weekly World News has scooped everyone with news of a pending alien invasion. That’s right — ET is back with 60 billion of his little buddies and they’re ready to take us out… “A powerful race of space aliens has returned to […]

Analysis Of Bush’s Speech: I now understand why none of the networks covered Bush’s speech — there really wasn’t anything new in it. However, Bush did do something important that I think the anti-war crowd has thus far been largely unable to do. He mentioned several of the arguments against the war and he didn’t […]

Forget Iraq — Let’s Harass Turkey: If you want to see the duplicitous nature of what passes for foreign policy advice on the left these days you need look no further than this editorial from the New York Times.

Jed Come Quick – They’re Making Fun Of Southerners Again!: Lawerence Toppman is an insufferable left-wing hack who does movie reviews for my local paper, the Charlotte Observer. However, just this once, he wrote something worth reading about the movie ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ of all things… “Alabama” treats the rural South as the land where […]

Unhinged And Creepy Lunacy From The Left: Under the best of circumstances, liberals do not tend to be logical or realistic about much of anything except their chances of electing more liberals. But since 9/11, the left has gotten progressively crazier and more hysterical almost by the week. How big has the reality disconnect gotten? […]

Falwell’s Mixes Truth With Lies: Jerry Falwell generally annoys me because he has a really big mouth, he regularly says really stupid things, and he claims to speak for people like me.

Paranoia — Jersey Style: Amiri Bakara, the New Jersey Poet Laureatee who claimed that 4,000 Israeli workers stayed home on 9/11 was on Connie Chung last night.
