Hat Tip to RealClearPolitics for this stunning news: The Senate unanimously passed legislation on Tuesday authorizing $491.6 billion in defense programs, including policies on treatment of detainees likely to prompt a dispute with the House of Representatives. The Senate approved amendments to bar torture and regulate interrogations and treatment of detainees, but also to curb […]

I am having my doubts conservatives can rally together and finish the war on Iraq, Bush’s agenda and expand control of Congress over the next three years. The reason is all the infighting going on. It is a low level problem, but it is pervasive and sapping our energy and focus. What began with the […]

The GOP ad out on the duplicity of democrats and liberals is excellent. One of my favorite songs is ‘The Low Spark of the High-heeled Boys’ – one of the first songs I learned to play on the electric guitar. With that said, it is nearly four minutes long – so how is it going […]

While the Republicans implode as their years long efforts are coming to fruition in Iraq, the other side may be imploding faster. I touched on the disastrous misstep Zarqawi made by bombing innocent Muslims in Jordan previously. And as expected, the response in the Muslim world is taking root and spreading: Last week’s suicide attacks […]

Stop the ACLU has a great interview with Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit. It is hard hitting and has some surprises. I for one was schocked to see Glenn not consider porn with 17 year olds ‘child porn’. The Porn industry exploits people for their own greed. And 17 year olds are not all ready to […]

UPDATE: How many times do we need to be warned before we get serious? END UPDATE I was stunned to see this Reuters news item flash across the screen (especially in the post 9-11 world of hyping intelligence): U.S. atomic expert doubts report of Iran weapons work David Albright, head of the U.S.-based Institute for […]

UPDATE: Here is a later article confirming the UK position that troop reductions are possible next year if conditions warrant. END UPDATE I know the MSM is always finding grey clouds amongst all the silver lining shimmering across Iraq these days – but there is a lot of good news out there. The US led […]

Kathleen Blanco has been named one of the worst Governors in the Nation by Time Magazine [hat tip Michelle]. Anybody dropping by The Strata-Sphere would know that by know. But Time really rakes the indecisive and back stabbing Blanco over the coals. But first Time needs to begin their piece with an outright lie: Failures […]

Howard Dean is such a putz. First he makes the instulting comment that the only way for Republicans to fill a room with African Americans is to invite in the Hotel and Restaurant staff (I guess it never occured to him to invite the current and previous US Secretaries of State). But now he comes […]
