The talking heads on the Sunday morning shows could barely contain their excitement over the apparently heart-stopping news that Caroline Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama in an op-ed in Sunday’s New York Times. I suspect that you, like me, find yourself bemused by the media’s exuberance over this pseudo-news. A reasonable person might ask himself why [...]

The Ninth Circuit, which is the laughing stock of the federal judiciary because it is overruled so often, did something bizarre yesterday: it issued a Constitutionally correct decision. Not only that, the decision meant that a citizens’ group will be able to engage in free speech that is contrary to the type of speech the [...]

The American Conservative Union has been analyzing and gaging Congressional members voting records for over 35 years. They rate each member on a scale of zero to one hundred in regards to their level of conservatism in the legislation they support or oppose.

The mantra for Obama is change. I admit he’s a new face and a new color, but can anyone clue me in on how, politically, he is different from the other candidates? I mean this a serious question, and I’d appreciate serious answers. So far, Teddy Kennedy seems representative of those who flock to [...]

What was interesting about today’s Kennedy endorsement for Obama isn’t the obvious political move of Teddy Kennedy; but the endorsement from Caroline Kennedy. I think Neil Cavuto put it best on today’s “Common Sense” segment from Fox’s Your World w/ Neil Cavuto:
Caroline Kennedy brings something more.
Support. Without the baggage. Without the tabloid tales or [...]

The mainstream media turned a deaf ear to Canada’s conservative government as they withdrew support for a United Nations led anti-racism conference on charges that the conference itself is a “a systematic promotion of hatred and bigotry”. One Canadian official called the U.N. Durban II conference a “gong show” as Ottawa withdrew all support in [...]

I just finished a car-shopping experience for the first time in many years (more on this later), and I was pleasantly surprised about what’s available. I even had to eat a few of my own words about the newer cars; things are not the way I had imagined them to be.
The supply differs strikingly from [...]

A nice story of genuine heroism out of Britain:
Among the new Britons taking part in citizenship ceremonies today will be one man who has already put his life on the line to protect his adopted country.
Reda Hassaine will stand in Islington Town Hall, North London, to affirm allegiance to the Queen [...]

One thing to note is the reaction by Democrats to McCain’s statements in 2007; including Barack Obama. -’I called for that . . . several weeks ago. I’m glad that John McCain agrees with me.’
