Back in 1995, North Korea — for reasons unfathomable to mortal men — invited World Championship Wrestling to come there and do a show. Previously, I’ve posted about Eric Bischoff’s North Korean odyssey, and in a book I recently finished, Ric Flair’s “To Be the Man,” he talked about the trip as well. Flair had […]

Leading democrats in congress have generously requested that Bush’s Supreme Court appointee meet only two simple requirements. As stated in the Constitution: 1. He must not allow idealogy to interfere with his decisions, and 2. He must be head-over-heels, red-hot, crazy-in-love with abortion.

There have been several articles written of late about Mitt Romney throwing his hat in the ring for the 2008 Republican nomination and many of those pieces seem to spend an inordinate amount of time speculating on whether the fact that he’s a Mormon will play a huge role in the primaries.

The Bush administration today unveiled revisions to the energy bill, currently moving through Congress, designed to decrease U.S. dependency on foreign petroleum.

I can’t think of a better example of left-wing moral equivalency when it comes to terrorism than this press release from Amnesty International.
