Chinese Crap OUT, American Crap IN

I have a brilliant, dare I say genius, solution to the poisonous crap coming out of China. Lots of us don’t want to buy lead-laced toys for our kids to suck on, but can’t afford to buy fancy-pants priced items made somewhere else. While listening to Michael Medved today, I had an epiphany. The big [...]

The Gospel According to the New York Times

Mr. Bookworm and I watched Obsession, the Movie Tonight, something that ought to be required viewing for all Democrats and, especially, for all members of the MSM (assuming any difference between the two groups). At the end, Mr. Bookworm acknowledged that, of course, radical Islam is a threat, but that my “beloved President Bush” [...]

Third IED Style Bomb Found in Canada

Three IED’s in Canada … “a third bomb, this time a much larger and more deadly configuration but with similarities of the previous two envelopes, was delivered to a home in Guelph, Ontario August 22, 2008, making it the third “bomb delivery” in as many weeks.” (Canada Free Press)

Craig Plays the Victim

The ability of U.S. Congressmen to play the part of victim at the drop of a hat makes me ill. Senator Larry Craig plead guilty and now he wants to take it back.

How’d It End Up There?

Al Jazeera claims to have in its possession an Israeli government paper detailing the basic requirements Israel sees preconditions for any peace negotiations with the Palestinians. I haven’t thought at all in depth about what these conditions are alleged to be, so I won’t comment on them here. Instead, I wanted to blog [...]

Potential Clinton Campaign Finance Violations - What, No Outrage Over the Culture of Corruption?

Democrats have received $200,000 in donations, $45k of that going to Sen. Clinton, from six individuals specifying this bungalow as their address. Well, let’s just see what happens. If the name was “Romney” or “Thompson” instead of the C-word, I damn well know what would happen…as it is, I’m not so sure.

No Confidence Vote for Congress

The Congress, particularly the Democrats, have been bullying around members of the administration in what is clearly a partisan witch hunt. It does not matter how honorable people are or if their intentions are good, Congress will demonize them, especially if they are Republicans. Clinton fired all 93 US attorneys and not a word was [...]

Your balls offend me, Infidel

A demonstration has been held in south- east Afghanistan accusing US troops of insulting Islam after they distributed footballs bearing the name of Allah.
The balls showed the Saudi Arabian flag which features the Koranic declaration of faith.
Methinks the Mullahs are little testy because this hearts & minds stuff actually works. These [...]

Perhaps Beauty Pageants Should Become a Thing of the Past

The question itself is total rubbish. While Lauren Upton may have had issues articulating the answer I submit that the people coming up with these questions are as dumb as her answer appeared to be.
