The New Tone in Washington

Senator Elect Jim Webb of Virginia has shown one of the clearer examples that a “new tone” and civility in Washington only applies to Republicans when it comes to actual interaction with others.

Civil War or Not, Does it Really Matter?

I have cut and pasted several paragraphs from previous posts in an effort to emphasize the ongoing debate about Iraq. Much is being made in the debate about Iraq being in a state of Civil War.

Could They Put Snoop Dogg Away for about Ten Years, Please?

Snoop Dogg, the 35 year old rap artist, has been arrested yet again on drug and gun possession charges. Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, is a convicted felon and as such he is not allowed to carry a gun and carrying drugs is illegal regardless of who you happen to be.

The Democrats Lied, Is Anyone Surprised?

The News Outlet That Cried “Wolf.”

AP has only itself to blame for this, even if the story is in fact true. Having blown its credibility with a series of demonstrably false stories in the past several year, why should I trust it now?

An American Hero Is Honored

Army Sgt.1st Class James Priestap was killed instantly by a terrorist sniper’s bullet at a checkpoint near Baghdad.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Bush Authority To Freeze Terrorist Assets

Judge Collins, a Clinton appointee, ruled in favor of claims made by lawyers for the radical far left Center for Constitutional Rights. This is the same group that released a book in 2006 titled Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush.
