Technological Ignorance in the Obama Administration
For all their touting of its marvels, I have to wonder just how savvy President Obama and his minions are about the history of our technology. First, we had the President claiming erroneously in his inaugural that our power transmission system dated to the days of Edison, when in fact a great deal...

For the first time since 1972, I am in agreement with Senator George McGovern. Senator McGovern is featured in radio ads airing here against the...

Should We Always Take the Advice of Foreign Leaders?
One of the most repeated condemnations of the Bush Administration’s foreign policy was that he didn’t listen enough to what the leaders of other countries wanted us to do. To take that at face value, the Left holds the advice of foreign leaders in high esteem. Well, gaw-aw-lee and shazayam! Does...

When is a Cartoon Racist?
The New York Post ran a cartoon recently that has drawn fire for allegedly racist overtones. It was a typical political cartoon’s head-on collision between entirely unrelated news stories – the Porkukus bill and the berserk chimp. It depicts the chimp, shot dead, with the cops speculating that "now...

Kid’s Health Care Program Funded by Smoking that Stimulus Wants to Cut
While national attention was focused on the President’s Porkulus bill, more legislation was passed and signed into law. And there is a massive contradiction between the two.

Bubba Contradicts Shrillary on Right of Dissent?
Remember Shrillary’s impassioned screech in 2003 when she claimed was being denied her right to disagree with President Bush? Here it is: “ I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and...
