(Note: I was tempted to title this pos”Hysteric Day”). I am going to have to mark this day down in the calendar as a watershed event. I am in agreement with an LA Times editorial. Not all of it of course -it is the LA Times – because somehow blaming Bush for this mess seems […]

When bombastic egotists get media play, they will do anything to keep the spotlight on them – including a call to assissinate their elected leader it would seem: The Respect MP George Galloway has said it would be morally justified for a suicide bomber to murder Tony Blair. In an interview with GQ magazine, the […]

Our country was founded on the powerful idea that all people (‘men’ in the venacular of the day) are created equal.  That means we treat everyone exactly the same in the eyes of the law.  We acknowledge that we have visitors here from other lands who are not citizens (guest workers, students and tourists) and […]

Is it going to satisfy everyone 100%?  Nope – not even me.  But it is an enormous step forward.  The Senate has passed a comprehensive package on immigration issues: The U.S. Senate approved an immigration bill Thursday that would toughen security at the Mexican border and grant many illegal immigrants a path toward citizenship. Under […]

Want to know what the best political theatre will be next January? It will be when VP Dick Cheney is examined on the witness stand by Prosecutor Fitzgerald: Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald suggested Cheney would be a logical government witness because he could authenticate notes he jotted on a July 6, 2003, New York Times […]

The economy is usually the best indicator for elections.  The Democrats are on the record demanding Bush’s economic policies be undone as soon as possible.  Are we sure we want them mucking around with our economy? The U.S. economy shot forward at an upwardly revised 5.3 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the fastest […]

Seems somebody had to step in, stop all the whining and stomping of feet and tell the children to calm down and behave themselves: President Bush stepped into the Justice Department’s constitutional confrontation with Congress on Thursday and ordered that documents seized in an FBI raid on a congressman’s office be sealed for 45 days. […]

Sorry for the light posting today, lots of meetings.  Hopefully more later. The Senate will hopefully vote in the broad immigration package today and people will agree progress is better than nothing and all the wailing. More here. There seems to be a lot of rehashing of old news by the media to try and […]

The Taliban and Al Qaeda were probably expecting to launch a spring offensive in Afghanistand and Pakistan. Seems the US led forces had the same idea – and beat them to it: Fighting in southern Afghan mountains that involved U.S.-led coalition forces killed at least 24 militants, four Afghan soldiers and one policeman, the coalition […]

Myths about a US hand in 9-11 are growing in popularity as many on the left lose their stamina (and some would argue some sanity) to fight: In the telephone survey of 1200 individuals, just 47% agreed that “the 9/11 attacks were thoroughly investigated and that any speculation about US government involvement is nonsense.” Almost […]
