This column, from David Michael Green at the Smirking Chimp is a real eye catcher because if we could get enough liberals to buy into this thinking feeling, we might be able to get more of them to pull a Murtha and acknowledge that the surge is working, But let’s forget all that, and, just […]

* Venezuela’s dictator-for-life in the making, Hugo Chavez, narrowly lost a close election that would have allowed him to run for reelection indefinitely in 2012. But, if Chavez controls the voting machines, why would he allow himself to lose? Well, keep in mind that Chavez is in office until 2012, so he can always put […]

After four and a half months of dragging it out, the New Republic has finally, reluctantly, admitted that they were duped by fabulist Scott Thomas Beauchamp. But, even now, at this late date, the New Republic couldn’t just come right out and plainly admit that their critics were right and they were wrong. Instead, Editor […]

“It’s one thing to teach children their history “warts and all”, quite another to obsess on the warts at the expense of all else.” — Mark Steyn

“…Hillary negotiated nothing and was present at no major meetings on foreign policy and national security after 1994. She reviewed some presidential speeches (including the one announcing the bombing of terrorist camps crafted in an awkward husband-and-wife session on Martha’s Vineyard just after President Clinton confessed to the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998), gave an […]

If the Mall today, and the Apple store specifically, was any indication, the economy is going to boom at the end of 2007. Consumers are in a spending mood. I’m no economist and this is anecdotal, of course. I’m just wondering if everyone from economists to political analysts to well, Americans in general, haven’t had […]

A black firefighter has admitted to staging a fake “hate crime” at a fire station in East Baltimore. Via the Baltimore Sun (emphasis added): A firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and a threatening note with a drawing of a noose in an East Baltimore station house last month had placed the items there […]

I think you’ll enjoy this story. It is the script of what I’ll be presenting tonight on Pundit Review radio’s “Someone You Should Know” segment. The story comes from a Gina Cavallaro piece in the Military Times. There’s also a video at that link which is a “must see”. But to the story – One […]

Let’s start with The Question: If the climahysteric disciples believe that Man is at fault, then why do they refuse to live the life they tell everyone and every country they should live and why do they not smack their climahysteric leaders for not only failing to live the life, but living worse then then […]

It’s easy enough to be horrified with what the more severe Muslim regimes are doing to humans trying to just live these days. In Saudi Arabia, the news has been about a woman victimized by rapists who was punished for immodest behavior. I wrote earlier that this does not mean that Saudi Arabia becomes, as […]

As the Iowa caucus creeps closer and closer, the target on Rudy’s back gets bigger and bigger: DUBUQUE, IA — It’s no secret that Iowa Christian Alliance president Steve Scheffler isn’t a Rudy fan. But tonight, within spitting distance of Giuliani’s rival GOP candidate Romney, Scheffler explicitly urged Iowa Christians to oppose Giuliani in the […]

If we don’t keep quite about Chavez appointing himself dictator for life, we don’t get any oil. Personally, I say let him try. Oil revenues make up a big chunk of where Chavez’s government gets its revenues. While on one hand this means that we Americans are funding this cruel thug by buying his oil, […]

This expands on an earlier post at GINA COBB Why do leaders in the modern Democratic Party want children, felons, noncitizens, and the mentally ill to vote? If you’re a conservative, the question almost answers itself, doesn’t it? All these groups have major, objectively demonstrable weaknesses in judgment or in their loyalties to America’s constitution […]

If by tragedy, you mean yet another example of how global warming is all a giant scam, and people who keep doing stuff like this, and end up making idiots out of themselves, only to prove their own theory wrong. These are not the first people to try and prove that global warming is true […]

The Canadian Islamic Congress is taking Mark Steyn to the Human Rights Commission because America Alone “subjects Canadian Muslims to hatred and contempt.” Funny, I thought they were doing fine in that department without Steyn’s help… Remember: the leader of the CIC famously said that all Israeli citizens, including children, are “legitimate targets” for Muslim […]

I’m going to be doing the Ron Smith show at 4:15 EST to talk about my Rudy Giuliani Would Be Our Bill Clinton column. You can listen to it here.

Perhaps the biggest oddity of the Republican primary season so far has been that GOP voters keep saying that they want another Reagan, the candidates keep comparing themselves to Reagan at every opportunity, and yet the man who is leading in the national polls, Rudy Giuliani, is about as far apart from Reagan as it’s […]

Question: “Since the holidays are coming, are there any gadgets, toys, gifts, etc. that you are looking to buy or just think are really cool? Are there any holiday movies that you think will be great to see (like I Am Legend?)” — D-Vega Answer: Here are three gift ideas that I either own or […]

Question: “Who was the worst United States President in the 20th Century, Jimmy Carter, or FDR?” — AppleMacJimmy Answer: FDR was a disaster domestically who pushed incredibly harmful, socialistic policies that extended the depression for years. The Supreme Court went horribly awry under pressure from FDR as well. However, he deserves an enormous amount of […]

Question: “Obviously I have definite opinions to keep asking this question, but would really like your opinion on it – would you prefer a Balanced Budget Amendment or a Line Item Veto Amendment, and why?” — RtWingNtCase Answer: A Balanced Budget Amendment because it would force Congress to work seriously to curb entitlement spending. The […]

Question: “Are private armies like Blackwater the wave of the future? Will they replace our current armed forces?” — BrightHorizons Answer: Will private armies replace our armed forces? No. Are they likely to be used more and more in the future? Yes. Why? Because most European nations are no longer willing and/or able to make […]

Question: “Last night’s YouTube debate again highlighted CNNs bias toward the Democratic Party, by asking about issues that Democrats “care” about, but Republicans generally place those issue much lower. Do you anticipate another YouTube debate after the primaries when it is the Democrats vs. the Republicans?” — canddmf Answer: I hope it’s not the last […]

I am considering buying a digital camcorder this month, but unfortunately, I don’t know a lot about them. Any suggestions, thoughts, or ideas that will help me decide what to buy?

Folks, it was a pretty lousy debate last night. So, if you just catch the highlights, consider yourself to be fortunate.

At 3:30 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

A few comments of note and calls on winners and losers in last night’s debate from around the right side of the blogosphere, “It Was One of the Worst Debates. McCain Won It, For What It’s Worth.” — The Campaign Spot “What a depressing debate. CNN’s long slide into mediocrity accelerates. Is this what running […]
