Question: “Who do you think would be a good potential nominee for President Bush to pick as a justice to the Supreme Court?” — sproe98 Answer: There are a lot of great candidates out there and I mentioned some of them earlier this week. However, I’ve been thinking about it and have decided that Janice […]

Question: “Considering how loathe the SCOTUS is to overturn itself, how likely is it that Roe v. Wade will actually be overturned even with Bush’s new nominees?” — mightysamurai Answer: Scalia, Thomas, & hopefully Roberts and Pick #2 would still only add up to 4 votes against Roe v. Wade. In order to overturn Roe […]

Question: “Do you think climate change poses a significant long term threat to the United States?” — Uowe10000inBushdebt Answer: To me, there are two very important things to keep in mind about global warming: #1) Despite the fact that a lot of people talk very authoritatively about global warming, what the temperature is going to […]

Question: “I know Barbara Bush has gotten a lot of flack for her comment. I’ll admit it lacked tact, but, and it has to be said, is she really wrong? We have been hearing all along that many people didnt leave because they were dirt poor and couldnt afford cars or even a bus trip […]

Question: “Why is it that the Conservatives do not fire back with the same outrageous rhetoric that the Liberals use? This latest name calling of Bush, bombs, race, levees, etc is way “over the hill.” — Roy Hughes Answer: When a liberal says something outrageous, other liberals tend to either ignore it or circle the […]

There’s no reason to hide it anymore. Even rap stars like Kanya West have figured it out. “George Bush doesn’t like black people.” Just ask Condi Rice, Rod Paige or Colin Powell. Air America’s Randi Rhodes knows it. She said the Bush is happy when black people are dying. That’s why he signed a bill […]

Here’s an interesting theoretical question: if you believe people who advocate sending the troops to war in Iraq are “chickenhawks” for not going themselves, then aren’t you a hypocrite if you advocate using the military and national guard to rescue people from the aftermath of Katrina without going yourself? Come to think of it, some […]

FEMA may think they’re being ultra-responsible and making sure that relief efforts are maximally efficient by telling people that they can’t bring their pets out of New Orleans, but I think they’re being foolish. Not only is it monstrously cruel to force people to leave their pets to die in that flooded, polluted, hellhole, there […]

Boy, it’s just fascinating what you can learn when you peruse the left side of the blogosphere. For example, at the most popular liberal blog on earth, The Daily Kos, I ran across a post called “Website Of The Day: Mercy Corps“. Brenda, whose motto on her posts in the comments section is: “Just because […]

Dear Families of Loved Ones Lost In Katrina: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has requested that photographers refrain from photographing the bodies of victims of Katrina: The Federal Emergency Management Agency, heavily criticized for its slow response to the devastation caused by the hurricane, rejected requests from journalists to accompany rescue boats as they went […]

This is a blockbuster story: the Red Cross was ready to deliver supplies to the people in the Superdome on Monday/Tuesday of last week and were blocked from doing so by the local government. Here’s Fox’s Major Garrett discussing the story with Hugh Hewitt: Hugh Hewitt: You just broke a pretty big story. I was […]

Do you have an over-the-top liberal friend who thinks, “Too much is never enough,” when it comes to hating Republicans? Then head on over to the Democratic Underground where you can learn how to make this nifty bumper sticker as a gift! Coming soon: bumper stickers blaming Republicans for world poverty, those irritating Old Navy […]

For all the carping and complaining about FEMA’s performance, they’ve actually done a good job in New Orleans. Yes, FEMA has proven itself to be slower than we’d like, mistake prone, and overly bureaucratic. Then again, what part of the Federal government does that not describe? The Post Office? The IRS? The Border Patrol? Despite […]

Because of all the focus on hurricane Katrina, there hasn’t been a lot of talk about Bush’s next appointment to the Supreme Court. The truth is that things haven’t changed all that much since Bush selected Roberts. There are still 55 Republican Senators and it’s likely that the GOP can still probably raise 50 votes […]

Yesterday, I was listening to Rush Limbaugh talk to a black caller who said — and he was being completely serious, this wasn’t hyperbole — that he thought George Bush wanted black people to die in New Orleans. Rush wasn’t surprised by that, but he was disappointed and so am I — because this guy […]

Over the Labor Day week-end, I was sorry to hear about the death of William Rehnquist. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way. Take for example, the comments you’re about to read from denizens of Democratic Underground who participated in a mind-numbingly insensitive thread called “I Shall P*ss On The Grave Of William Rehnquist.” Although […]

Since Katrina hit, the left has been pumping out wacko commentary practically non-stop. However, I don’t think I’ve run across anything that tops this: “The lecture comes down to this: BUSH CAUSED THIS DISASTER. And YOU caused this disaster, you southern soft-heads, because you voted for that ape. Bush caused this disaster by ignoring global […]

Hey, Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans: After hurricane Katrina, your police officers looted, stood by while stores were sacked, and were run out of the Superdome by an angry mob. Because of the incompetence and ineffectiveness of your officers, people were menaced, raped, beaten, murdered, and rescue efforts were significantly hampered. Now, even as […]

Steve Sailer, whom I didn’t much care for in the first place, wrote a nasty, offensive, & racist column about what happened in New Orleans that contained the two following quotes among others: “What you won’t hear, except from me, is that “Let the good times roll” is an especially risky message for African-Americans. The […]

“Journalists who are long on opinions and short on knowledge have no idea what is entailed in moving hundreds of tons of relief supplies into an area the size of England in which power lines are down, no gasoline is available, and roads and airports were covered with water or debris. Yet this was done […]

“If, as a nation, we want the federal government to assume the role of first-responder in our communities, then I imagine its size and power will have to be massively increased for it to have the capacity to respond to local and regional natural disasters in this way — even if it could. The federal […]
