Does Rush Profit From Marketing Website Subscriptions to Servicemen?

Last week, Rush Limbaugh, acting on a listener’s suggestion, implemented a sponsorship program by which listeners could underwrite subscriptions to the subscriber side of his website for members of our armed forces.

Bob Woodward Destroys Premise of Plame Name Investigation!

It’s a rare day when I have words of praise for Bob Woodward. My admiration for him ended at the end of All the President’s Men, which on its own merits was a good piece of writing. As one of the journalists who helped bring Nixon down, he is an icon to the left, a hero of the liberals, and an... Sign in to see full entry.

Attention Parents: You Have No Right to Criticize Sex Ed in Public Schools!

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals never ceases to amaze. Hard on the heels of declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional and deciding that it is perfectly legal to file false accusations against the police, these geniuses have now decided that if you, as a parent, don’t like what your...

Bush Alienating Republicans Over Iraq War?

So speculates AP reporter Tom Raum in a story published this morning. Sadly, I do not have a link to this story, so I am reduced to offering only quotes, with pithy observations thrown in.

Does the Senate Have Its Priorities Straight?

Consider the endless hours of speechifying, accusations, sound bytes, photo ops and all the rest devoted to smearing or defending the President. The only break they take from this is to vote massive pork for their districts. Meanwhile, social security solvency, job creation, reform of the public... Sign in to see full entry.

How Supreme Is the Supreme Court?

Today’s civics lesson: How Supreme is the Supreme Court? According to the far left, “Supreme Court” means supreme in relation to everything – God, country, Constitution, the rule of law, the other two branches of the government, the citizenry and common sense. To them, when the Supreme Court does... Sign in to see full entry.

Dams Criticized for Flooding Valleys!

The World Wide Fund for Nature, or WWF, has issued a report condemning construction of dams. The report can be summarized in a few words: Dams are bad because they flood valleys and destroy wetlands, ruin habitat and cause economic disruption. Hey, geniuses, ever hear of floods?

Jordanians Riot After Hotel Bombings

And guess what? It wasn’t against the evil Americans, as the left would have us believe. They were rioting against the al Qaida terrorists who violated their borders and attacked their people. This is another blow to the liberal myths that we are hated, that we are the bad guys, and that terrorism... Sign in to see full entry.

The Liberals' Perverted Understanding of Rights

Does this make your head spin like it does mine? The far left wants every possible right extended to terrorists, even demanding that they have full protection under the Geneva Conventions and the Constitution when neither can rationally be said to apply to them, while cheering a Supreme Court ruling...

Election Reforms Thrashed in Pro-Bush Ohio!

To the out-of-state liberal activists at moveon.org and elsewhere who did their damndest to punish us Ohio voters for voting for Bush – in my best Bart Simpson voice – HA-ha! Ohio issues 2, 3, 4 and 5, which I’ve discussed at some length here the past few days, were designed to utterly screw up the... Sign in to see full entry.
