This is funny stuff: “A Bronx teacher who repeatedly flunked his state certification exam paid a formerly homeless man with a developmental disorder $2 to take the test for him, authorities said yesterday. The illegal stand-in – who looks nothing like teacher Wayne Brightly – not only passed the high-stakes test, he scored so much […]

Over the last few days we’ve seen a flurry of articles designed to assuage the guilt of the people who favor starving Terri Schiavo to death. Here’s an excerpt from a typical article in Newsday: “In the evolving saga of Terri Schiavo, the prospect of her suffering a slow and painful death from starvation has […]

“Are you sick and tired of those dry, old, Bible stories that don’t seem to relate to life in today’s America? Well, RWN is coming to your rescue by rewriting the Bible to reflect modern mores. Enjoy!” Two women came before wise king Solomon with a baby, each claiming the child as their own. Solomon […]

President Bush, on the volunteer Minuteman Project, which is spotting illegal aliens entering the US: I’m against vigilantes in the United States of America. I’m for enforcing law in a rational way. That’s why you got a Border Patrol, and they ought to be in charge of enforcing the border. This from a president whose […]

I’d certainly appreciate it if you could… HistoryShots Prints Matt Furey Combat Conditioning Michael Moore Hates America Place A Bet On Iraq Realm Dékor (** I Love Their Merchandise**) RightTalk Radio (** Michelle Malkin On At 3PM EST **) Ankle Biting Pundits Crowe […]

Africa has been a troubled region for some time. Unstable politics, genocide, aids outbreaks, mass starvation – we do what we can to help, we send money to Sally Struthers, but do we really think Africa is going to get better and be a fully functional continent again? Sure, we can keep things patched together, […]

My RSS feed (which is located here) is all fouled up. All the posts have the weekly archive address on them instead of the address for each individual entry. Any of you Movable Type techies have any idea of what’s wrong? If so, how ’bout emailing or posting in the comment section to let me […]

It’s A State’s Rights Issue: This is a particularly unpersuasive point. Since when do unelected judges represent the wishes of a state? Particularly when they’re running roughshod over the desires of an elected state legislature… It’s Big Government At Its Worst: Nonsense! I find it amazing that the same people who support the government using […]

From The Corner, comments by William Cheshire, a neurologist: “There is a remarkable moment in the videotape of the September 3, 2002 examination by Dr. Hannesfahr that seemed to go unnoticed at the time. At 2:44 p.m., Dr. Hammesfahr had just turned Terri onto her right side to examine her back with a painful sharp […]

You know, in the political game, we too seldom take the time to appreciate the efforts of our adversaries on particular issues. So, with the clock running out for Terri Schiavo, I feel compelled to take a moment to congratulate the people who’ve fought so long and so hard to help Michael “When is that […]

Larry Elder is a superb columnist who has a knack for coming up with pertinent & fascinating statistics. Here are the best quotes over the last year from Larry Elder’s columns at Townhall… (Cont)

I hate to keep euthanizing a dead horse, but there’s one last issue concerning the Terri Schiavo case that I’d like to address before I yank the feeding tube on this whole subject. Terri Schiavo was fortunate that her loving husband suddenly remembered a conversation they had years ago, in which she said, “If I […]

Sure, it’s just one battle, and there have been many in which hundreds of civilians have perished. But how sweet is it that the good guys won one for a change?: Ordinary Iraqis rarely strike back at the insurgents who terrorize their country. But just before noon today, a carpenter named Dhia saw a troop […]

Normally, I’m a big defender of the police because they risk their lives night in and night out only to be trashed for it by pols & race hustling poverty pimps who are looking to demagogue the cops for fun, profit, and/or votes. However, there’s no way I can stand behind police departments as they […]

Since we have no reliable way of knowing whether Terri Schiavo would have wanted to live in her current condition and since there is at least one highly qualified expert who has examined her and believes that she could improve if given rehabilitation, it would be monstrously cruel & unethical to deliberately allow her to […]

Have you noticed the elephant in the living room that the liberals keep trying to ignore even as they lose election after election? It’s the huge “idea gap” between conservatives and liberals. While conservatives are open about what we think and our reasoning, liberals often try to obscure what they believe in or worse yet, […]

Across the blogosphere, many people have expressed dismay that Capitol Hill has chosen to get involved in the Terri Schiavo case for political reasons. Well, of course they did — they’re politicians! Everything from where they go on vacation to what dinner parties they go to is influenced by political considerations. So, it’s no surprise […]

Rachel Lucas unloads on the Terri Schviao case as only she can: “Let’s see. I have a dog named Sunny, as many of you know. I signed a contract at the pound taking responsibility for her and I clearly am her legal “next of kin.” Now, it’s very likely that some day, Sunny will have […]

After being savaged by frothing at the mouth feminist Susan Estrich, Michael Kinsley was apparently intimidated enough to make this blockheaded statement: “But (Maureen) Dowd is different, and she is the most influential columnist of our time.” Maureen Dowd? She’s not even the most influential writer at the NEW YORK TIMES. Like them or not, […]

Hugo Chavez, the Castro wannabe who runs Venezuela, tried to make a little joke at Condi’s expense: “I cannot marry Condolencia (condolence), because I am much too busy. I have heard she dreams about me.” You know, Hugo, I heard Condi has dreams about you, too. Unfortunately they all end with the trigger being pulled […]

In his first major move against world terrorism, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan is prepared to propose that suicide bombers face lengthy jail terms, along with other sweeping reforms designed to restore the organization’s tarnished image. “If you blow yourself up and kill innocent civilians, my plan calls for 10-to-20 years in a medium-security prison,” […]

To be honest, I prefer not to blog about issues I have mixed feelings about because usually it leads to poorly written, mushy punditry that comes across as inconsistent and leaves readers unsure of where I really stand. That’s why personally, until this post, I have yet to chime in on the Terri Schiavo case. […]

It has been almost 4 months since W. defeated Kerry and there’s no draft, no calls for the draft from the White House, nobody calling for a draft on the right. Conservatives told you there wasn’t going to be a draft and we were right. So don’t you chicken little libs who were trying to […]

And Greer said take the tube out. And they did. Responding to Bill from InDC: Bill didn’t like the accusatory tone I took regarding the “husband,” Michael. Well, to be honest, I did try to be reasonably careful about accusations. Still– the fact remains, if someone has a conflict-of-interest, we don’t let them make life […]

Texas Democrat Al Edwards — and you can tell he’s a Democrat because he’s proposing something embarrassing and the article at ABC discussing it doesn’t mention his party affiliation — wants to ban sexy cheerleaders: “The Friday night lights in Texas could soon be without bumpin’ and grindin’ cheerleaders. Legislation filed by Rep. Al Edwards […]

When it comes to defending freedom and spreading Democracy, liberals today are all talk and no action. Charles Krauthammer has the details: “…(G)oing back at least to the Spanish Civil War, the left has always prided itself on being the great international champion of freedom and human rights. And yet, when America proposed to remove […]

Congressman Henry Waxman on the baseball-steroid hearing: “Given this problem, we’ve got to do something about it,” Waxman said. (Link) Look. It’s bad enough that the House Committee decided to hold a publicity stunt hearing on this topic. But if all the Congressmen were doing was abusing their investigatory powers so as to get some […]
