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 [...]

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 [...]

If the Founding Fathers Could See Us Now!

One Mohammad Happy Meal to go, Would you like an Apple Pie with that?

Perhaps as an American and a Christian, I have grown accustomed to reading about images of Jesus or angels appearing on everything from windows to cinnamon rolls, but I’ve had it up to here with the holy crap that occurs every time some cleric from Babulahstan thinks he might possibly see something that even remotely [...]

“The people have spoken…the bastards.”

“The people have spoken…the bastards.”
We have Dick Tuck, following a lost bid for the California State Senate to thank for this timely and eloquent statement. Unfortunately, it is more appropriate today than it ever was in 1964.  The American voters, most of whom know next to nothing of what their chosen candidate stands for, [...]

Barack Obama – The Unluckiest Man in the World.

You have no idea what life is like if you’re Barack Obama.  Why is that? Policies? No. He’s hopeful, he’s changish. He’s bad luck. You could say, you know what, everybody who’s nefarious seems to be involved in helping this guy get elected. But that’s just — you know what it is. Luck. The one [...]

World Reaction to a McCain Victory.

Today, Jonathan Freedland authored a comumn in The Guardian (UK) regarding world opinion if Obama is not elected. <link here> Below, is the reply I sent to the author via e-mail.
Although I profoundly disagree with the premise of your column (more about that in a moment), I did find it very well written and you stated [...]

Can America Survive Without Obama?

You know, the more I read and see of Obama, the more I understand the brilliance behind his positions. Here are a few examples:

Reducing Dependence on Foreign Oil- Yes, I know we could drill for our own oil, develop clean coal technology or build nuclear power plants, but Obama’s plan is so much better…the plan – do [...]
