Global Plateauing?

FEC shenanigans

From NewsMax.com… “I’m very pleased with the vigorous enforcement record the FEC compiled in 2006. The numbers speak for themselves,” FEC Chairman Michael Toner said in an interview. “It means strong confidence the FEC is properly prioritizing the most important cases and willing to pursue them to conclusion.” Oh really? Let’ look at those three […]

 



Must Read Of The Day

Erin Brockovich hasn’t had much to laugh about this year This hasn’t been a good year for “America’s Sweetheart.” In one recent setback, in which she acted as plaintiff, she sued 31 hospitals she claimed were making unfair claims against Medicare. Her payoff would have been tremendous. But two separate judges tossed out all 31 […]

Don’t expect major changes

Donald Lambro touches today on what I think few people understand about the Congress. Our Founding Fathers deliberately created a system of checks and balances to make sure that momentary passions did not force through bad laws. They gave powers to the minority to block such actions. And, over the years, the Congress, particularly the […]

 

The Faces Behind The War

Four a.m. It’s cold and dark outside my small home in western Maryland. The slap of the newspaper hitting the driveway briefly jolts me awake as I blearily stare at the monitor. Behind my office chair a small but determined Weiner Beast wreaks havoc on carefully arranged stacks of Christmas wrap and bows with a […]

 

Pelosi to Politicize the Eucharist

Incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wants you to know she is a Catholic. She’s going to receive Communion in a very public display of her Catholicism on January 3rd during her swearing in week. It is inappropriate that she do so. And it is inappropriate under Canon 915 that it be given to […]

Misc Commentary For Dec 28, 2006

— It’s great to see Ethiopians routing the Islamo-Fascists in Somalia. Hopefully, behind the scenes, we’re feeding cash and weaponry to Ethiopia because it’s certainly in our interest to see the sort of Taliban clones that had taken over Somalia defeated. — This just goes to show you how we’ve gutted the First Amendment in […]

 

I Get Emails: Gerald Ford Helped Cover Up Nixon And Bush’s Murder Of JFK?

Every so often, a crazy who goes by the handle of “Bush-Adm-Planned-911” spams me with left-wing drek and lunatic conspiracy theories. I complained a few times to his provider, bellsouth.net, about the spam, but apparently their users are allowed to spam with impunity because they’ve never done anything about it. Anyway, I decided to read […]

The Great Illegal Immigration Myth of ’06

Since the election, you may have heard pro-amnesty Republicans or liberals saying something like this, “The 2006 election proves that being tough on illegal immigration doesn’t work as a political issue. Look at J.D. Hayworth, John Hostettler, Randy Graf, and Henry Bonilla. After that debacle, the GOP is surely going to cave on illegal immigration […]

Should The Republican Party Be Banned?

You know for people who are always going on and on about fascism, liberals certainly do seem to be comfortable with certain fascist tactics as long as they’re directed at the “right” people.
