I’m just a geek that tries to help AJStrata get his message out by keeping the plumbing working here at the Strata-Sphere. I really wanted to go to the Woodbridge, VA rally this past Saturday but our twins had a festival at school, and as a mom, I couldn’t tell them that we had to [...]

It was well worth taking a day off of work and to be down in Fairfax, VA at 7am. Due to luck and planning, we were one of the first people to get into the event and managed to get up really close to the front. We saw speeches from the Mayor of the City [...]

Caveat: I’m a techie type not a writer, so bear with me. DJStrata and I have just returned from an event I’ll never forget.  Just to set the record straight, there was no rock band. There was a country guitarist without his normal bandmates, who asked us to clap since he didn’t have his drummer with [...]

The Democrats have decided to impose a timetable on the troops, never mind that the surge has shown signs of success. In a very real sense, they have decided to take the coward’s way out. When Multi-National Force-Iraq held briefings for Congressional leadership, the Dems didn’t even show. The President is right to call it [...]

Obviously unsatisfied with her second straight slur at CPAC, Ann Coulter is now trivializing murder. Is this acceptable discourse? I don’t think so.

I pray this is false: Two top nuclear scientists of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) are currently in Taliban custody. The two were working at PAEC’s facility in North West Frontier Province. Zee News investigations reveal that the two scientists were kidnapped about six months ago. To avoid international embarrassment Pakistan Government has kept this [...]

I suppose that old saw “when it rains, it pours” is an apt description of the problems facing the Iranian president these days. A strategic level military leader has apparently fled the country with his family, he is under renewed attack from his political opposition for his handling of the economy, the teachers are striking [...]

And he makes a lot of sense. Michael Medved is rapidly moving up my list. I don’t listen to talk radio – I generally have ruled out looking over what the pundits and talk show hosts say – largely because I’m not sure they really get it. Medved, though, is rapidly proving to be the [...]

This is a bit off the beaten path, but it is frustrating to see the federal government giving indications that it is going to fight the merger of XM and Sirius. Unless they have proof of nefarious intent, then they need to lay off. The biggest reason I have NOT purchased satellite radio is the [...]

Lewis Libby has been convicted on four of five counts against him and faces up to 25 years in jail and a fine of $1 million. The jurors found Tim Russert to be a credible witness, despite the notes of his FBI interview being “lost” and him having claimed on the stand it would have [...]

On Friday, Giuliani spoke at CPAC and gave a semi-campaign speech. He mentioned that Congress is elected to make decisions, not to commentate. We have commentators in the media, we don’t need more. He stated that the next president needs to get Congress back to making decisions. He did not follow that by saying that [...]

The New York Daily News has an interesting article on movie casting as part of today’s installment from Rush & Milloy. As someone who has a somewhat extensive DVD collection, I can appreciate the efforts a casting director puts into their work. Certainly, CSI does very well, largely due to the superb work that William [...]

Over at Captain’s Quarters, there is a discussion of civility. On the previous thread is what appears to be his response to Ann Coulter’s comments. It’s a good post, but the comments at the second link are instructive as well. They are part of the reason that Republicans got spanked in the 2006 mid-terms. Conservatives [...]

As the trial of Scooter Libby nears its end, the pundits on each side of the case have been fighting about one fundamental issue: was Plame a covert agent when Novak published her CIA credentials? Larry Johnson says yes, Victoria Toensig says no. I’ll admit up front that I am biased against Mr. Johnson, and [...]

A while back, Flopping Aces published some great cartoons about the Democrats’ idea of supporting the troops. A post from last night has some more good ones that just say it better than thousands of words. Go over and check it out.
