Obama’s Full Court Press.

In a little publicized, yet immensely important filing yesterday, the Obama administration has urged a federal judge not to use a general definition of “enemy combatant” when referring to those held at Guantanamo. This definition has provided a broad basis for holding prisoner, those who provided support to terrorist networks or organizations.
Instead, the current administration [...]

Kurt Warner, Champion.

 
For those of us who love football, today is the day of days, Super Bowl Sunday, and although my team ended it’s run in the Divisional Playoffs, this afternoon you will find me in front of the TV pulling for the Arizona Cardinals (I can’t believe I just wrote that) and in particular, Kurt Warner. [...]

Why the Stimulus Bill must not pass.

The House of Representatives has passed the so-called Economic Stimulus Bill and has sent it to the Senate for their debate and approval. I am puzzled how anyone is persuaded that this liberal wish-list is in any shape, manner of form, the prescription for what ails us.

 
Taking money out of the private sector for [...]

Obama’s Ominous Beginning.

With an unexpectedly brash display of arrogance and naïveté, President Obama has brought to an end the shortest honeymoon in White House history. Unlike Kennedy’s famous Hundred Days, when he cultivated his relationship with his rivals and saw the most important of his political initiatives pass with relative ease, Mr. Obama’s opening political act lasted [...]

Thoughts on the Inauguration

Having watched today’s coronation, er…I mean inauguration – which was, I must say, the best comedy on TV since Andy Griffith – I cannot let it pass without a few observations.
¨      Aretha Franklin. Holy Smokes, I haven’t heard a noise like that since the neighbor’s poodle had a litter of St. Bernard puppies.  In all [...]

Losing a Legend

                 
College basketball bid farewell to a giant this week and left a void that will be very hard to fill. Bob Knight quietly resigned after a stellar 42 years of coaching at Army, Indiana and Texas Tech, and for those of us who enjoyed basketball in its best form, the game lost a lot of [...]

ELECTILE DYSFUNCTION:

What is Electile Dysfunction?
The inability to be aroused over any of the choices for President, put forth by either party, in the 2008 election year.

2008 Idiot(s) of the Year Nominee #1.

Remember a few years ago, when Russians stood in lines for days to buy bread? Well, in Australia, people are now shooting each other over bags of rolls. Benjamin Jorgensen and his cohort, and I’m sure now former girlfriend, Donna Hayes decided to rob the Cuckoo Restaurant in Melbourne. These two sterling bandits grabbed a [...]

It’s Not Easy Being Green.

Sometimes good material just leaps out at you and today is one of those days. Over the weekend, about 800 people attended the Green Party debate at the Herbst Theater in, where else, San Francisco (there haven’t been that many kooks assembled in one place since Dennis Kucinich had a private dinner with Shirley MacLane). [...]

You can pay me now, or you can pay me later…

How was your day at the office dear? Well…this poor guy found out, or did his wife find out about him? A Polish man decided to take a little trip to the friendly neighborhood brothel and found his wife working there! Wouldn’t you have loved to have heard that conversation. According to news reports, the wife told him that [...]
