As everyone is now aware, Israel is forcibly pulling settlers out of the Gaza Strip as they evacuate the area and turn it over to the Palestinians. I recently wrote about this Great Experiment, referencing an essay on the subject by Daniel Pipes, a Mideastern expert and author. Western opinion is divided on how this […]
Finally, someone has put Cindy Sheehan in perspective. With a sensitive topic like this, it should come as no surprise that it took Ann Coulter to do the deed. Thanks, Ann. Here’s a sample: Fortunately, the Constitution vests authority to make foreign policy with the president of the United States, not with this week’s sad […]
What scandal? That would certainly be your response if you only get news from the MSM — the alphabet soup TV networks and the major newspapers in this country. But, since you’re reading this, you are likely aware of the scandal involving the Air America radio network receiving “questionable” loans from a children’s charity in […]
This guy, who calls himself the king of dot-comedy, is seriously funny. More accurately, he is a professional prankster. As an example, you’ve got to check out The Credit Card Prank, Part II. I’ve always wondered if anybody in the universe really cares how you sign your credit card receipts. Quick answer: Nope. I’m going […]
From the Vault: I wrote this over a month ago after listening to one-too-many pity pieces on the murderers vacationing at Gitmo. It is presented here raw and unedited and reveals that I was cracking under the MSM bombardment… Then came 7/7. ——————————— Space Aliens Invade, Mistreated Monday, July 4, 2005 LONDON, UK — Three […]
You know NARAL has stepped in it big-time when even the leftist, Washington Post editorial page slams the blatantly dishonest ad against Judge Roberts. From the editorial: In releasing the ad, Nancy Keenan, NARAL’s president, said in a statement that she wanted “to be very clear that we are not suggesting Mr. Roberts condones or […]
Early this morning, NASA launched the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter aboard an Atlas V rocket. Click here to see a Real Player Video of the launch.
If you don’t read Michelle Malkin’s blog on a daily basis then you are missing out. She is a wonderful writer who digs up some amazing stories. Yesterday, she wrote a piece on the confused Bush protestor, Cindy Sheehan — the woman camped out in Crawford, Texas who is receiving more MSM coverage than the […]
This morning, Fox News is reporing that NARAL is withdrawing its false ad against Judge John Roberts. That’s a very mild way of saying that the abortion rights advocacy group has been caught in an embarrassing lie and is now recanting. NARAL president Nancy Keenan, in a letter to RINO (Republican In Name Only) Senator […]
OK, I know this is a couple of days old, but some of you may not have read factcheck.org‘s detailed report, NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts. NARAL, an abortion-rights advocacy group, has been caught in an outright, dirty LIE about President Bush’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge John Roberts. Those who support abortion rights […]
The answer is coming soon. Starting on Aug. 15, the Israeli government will evict some 8,000 Israelis from Gaza and turn their land over to the Palestinian Authority. In addition to being a unique event in modern history (no other democracy has forcibly uprooted thousands of its own citizens of one religion from their lawful […]
Deferred Success is the title of Mark Steyn’s recent essay on redefining away the concept of “failure” and what the American icon of failure — the Democratic Party — has learned from this. In typical Steyn fashion, “Deferred Success” is a gut-splitting commentary on recent, hard-to-believe utterances of desperation from the increasingly marginalized Democrats. On […]
Please read this Great article on the eminent domain fallout. I especially like the next to last sentence: She says that the Court has done the property-rights cause an unintentional favor by highlighting takings for private use that have been going on for a long time without much public notice. I’ve argued the same, ironic […]
Yeah, the shuttle launch is soooo last week. I’ve watched it also (many times), and here’s an excellent video of the launch that I stumbled upon. Just in case you missed it.
For those who haven’t seen the hilarious ‘Funny Cats Video’… Enjoy.
I’ve always enjoyed Paul Graham’s essays, and this essay, What Business Can Learn from Open Source, is no exception. Being both an entrepreneur (startup) and investor (venture capitalist), he is uniquely positioned to comment on how this plane of existence differs from the traditional, employee-employer relationship. Great stuff. Here’s what he has to say about […]
