I see liberalism as the Walter Mitty daydream run amok. Why some people have the arrogance (and usually lack the scientific and technical knowledge) to think they can come to the rescue of humankind is beyond me. It is rare these days to find an easy answer to anything. Humanity’s large endeavors require the coordinated […]

Remember Al Gore, the guy who couldn’t even carry his home state? Well Barrack Obama will likely carry his home state, but he is betting he can pull a hat out of the rabbit and take VA (which is very purple right now and getting bluer). He seems to think if he can tap our […]

The Pakistan Awakening may be beginning (and it may not ever happen). But one thing is clear in all military situations, a divided enemy is easier to defeat than a united one. So the news civil war is starting to break out amongst the Taliban forces in the Pak Tribal Areas is very good news: […]

Lots of factors led up to the defeat of the GOP in 2006. But one of the big drivers was a severe loss of support from the independents in the middle (not the independents who are closer to the fringes). Bush has governed as a moderate instead of a far right ideologue. And that irritated […]

I postulated below Obama was not going to get much of a sustained bounce out of his dismal and error prone (if not lying as when he claimed he was on a Senate Committee he was not on and supported legislation he opposed) world tour.  He simply demonstrated why he was the wrong man for […]

Just a reminder that there will be a hearing in the Somerset County Courthouse this Saturday to discuss the abomination that is the current “Crescent of Embrace” monument to Flight 93. Why the death grip of Islamo Fascism was ever even debated as a reasonable option for a memorial to those who died fighting radicalized […]

Update: BBC is reporting confirmation from the Taliban that a top AQ chemical weapon’s expert has been killed today in Pakistan by what is likely a US missile. Here is the man’s bio and picture at the US National Counter-Terrorism Center website:   Good job folks – scratch one more mass murderer. Update: AFP now […]

I get the feeling Obama’s small bump in the Gallup Daily Tracking poll will not last the week. I have been watching both the Gallup and Rasmussen daily polls to see how sensitive each is to the weekly news blitz. They each use very different polling methods, but over time track closely to each other. […]

I saw this over at Gateway Pundit and nearly fell off my chair. Again I will have to violate my ban on AP simply because this is just a stunning report (You may need to wait for it to load – seems to be a very popular video): “But it is beginning to look more […]

Terrorists massing in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan have pledged Jihad against American and Allied forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere (including Pakistan). Personally I see this as completely suicidal on their part – especially after we see another example of the results: Khost’s governor said 50 to 70 fighters had been killed – Nato said […]
