Jim DeMint is one of my favorite senators and one of the biggest budget hawks roaming the halls of Congress. That’s why I was happy to get a chance to get in on a teleconference with him this afternoon. Here are my notes (not quotes) from the teleconference. DeMint’s Opening Comments I’ve never seen more […]

It starts a little slow, but Ditka gets in some good lines in the 2nd half of the vid. Hat tip to Hot Air for the video.

The scientists know that as soon as they acknowledge the role of increase solar activity in global warming their research funds will dry up. Much of these research funds are […]

You’d think that Katie Couric would be too busy driving the CBS Evening News into the ground to have time for petty complaints, but she manages to take time to whine: The feminist movement that began in the 1970’s helped women make tremendous strides—but there still haven’t been enough great leaps for womankind. Fifty-one percent […]

Over at the world’s most popular liberal blog, the Daily Kos, this ad caught my eye: Is, what, “the band NOT be playing when our troops come home from Iraq in wheelchairs,” really something that produces “liberal doses” of laughter? What exactly do liberals at the Daily Kos find funny about soldiers coming home in […]

“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” — Douglas MacArthur After seeing the reaction to George Bush’s speech about the surge, I think it’s fair to say that people have become irrationally pessimistic about Iraq. In fact, it’s gotten so out of hand that this may be the only […]

— According to Dick Morris, none of the top tier Republican contenders for the nomination in 2008 are going to make it to the finish line: “I think you’ll see one of the minor leaguers win it [the GOP nomination],” Morris told Fox News Channel.

If people will pay $24.95 for a hanging Saddam, will they pay $24.95 for this? PS: Yes, I’m just kidding =D

You know what Republican members of Congress should be saying? They should be saying that if you’re 42 years old or younger, you should vote against the Democratic Party in 2008 because they want to force you to serve in the military via a draft, over the objections of the Republican Party — and powerful […]
