New Year’s Unease 2009
I know the man's had a stroke and the fact he's partially recovered is a blessing, but just because Dick Clark can appear on national television, doesn't mean he should. Just because someone can walk with a cane doesn't mean they should run a marathon. Neither sleet, snow, rain nor the residual effects of a stroke can keep Dick [...]
Turning On Hamas
Unlike the know-nothings protesting around the world, those directly involved on the ground know what's up and who's really to blame for the whole Israel-Gaza mess. The bitter Israel-Hamas conflict has touched off Arab-Arab conflicts almost as bitter. Responsibility for the war in Gaza, and for the Palestinian fatalities there, was [...]
Quote Of The Day
I personally enjoy people who say unpopular things and don't give a damn about the political and/or social fallout. Most of the people who shout about climate change have not read one article about it. — Sammy Wilson, Ireland Environment minister Now, there's a money quote! Now, if only we had a Sammy Wilson or two in the Obama [...]
Pimpin’ The Inauguration
I may be really off the mark here, but isn't the presidential inauguration supposed to be a free event? You could be there on Inauguration Day as Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President. Ten supporters will be selected between now and midnight on January 8th to join the inaugural activities. You and a guest could be flown to [...]
Stupid Church Tricks
For all those of us who think Al Gore leads the church of global warming hysteria, here's one that bought into the religion. The Church of England’s Church Commissioners have gone green, investing £150 million with former US Vice-President Al Gore’s environmentally minded investment firm, Generation Investment Management. On Nov 18 the [...]
2008 coolest year of the century
No, I don't mean 'cause Mr. Hope and Change was elected. I mean like temperature-wise. WHILE the official figures are not yet in, 2008 is widely tipped to be declared the coolest year of the century. Whether this is a serious blow to global warming alarmists depends entirely on who you talk to. Anyone looking for a knockout blow in the global [...]
Obama’s Empty Gaza Suit
In around three weeks, Barack Obama won't have George Bush's back to piggy on. He will actually have to formulate opinions and articulate them to the general public. The horror. When it comes to repairing the faltering U.S. economy, Barack Obama offers vision, numbers and detail. But as Israeli bombs and Palestinian rockets explode in [...]
Race Card Play Of The Day
Live by the sword…? Ain't this post-racial period great? Bobby Rush, the former Black Panther who is now a congressman from Chicago, levelled his accusation on the CBS Early Show this morning in reaction to the letter signed by all 50 Senate Democrats declaring that they would not seat Roland Burris, the African-American that Gov. Rod [...]
Bill Clinton’s New Years Rockin’ Peeve
Bill Clinton just can’t be too happy right now, because he’s got to spend New Years Eve with his own wife. Tonight will mark the first time in decades that Bill has dropped a ball with Hillary in the general vicinity in decades: The Clintons will lead hundreds of thousands of revelers in the final 60-second countdown and push the [...]
