You Thought Death’s In Iraq Were Bad!

I am a bit confused on a few things in my life. I guess that’s why I write a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff. I am also not easily fooled on many things. I may not be right all the time, but I am seldom wrong. I am stealing that line from a guy who’s commentary I used to read in a wholesale jewelry... Sign in to see full entry.

Abortion: Democrats Do Sidestep!

What did the Washington Post, who wrote the story, think they were going to do? Did they think they were going to tackle the issue headon? The Republicans did when they were in charge. It did not do much good, but at least they did not duck the issue. This is not a piece about abortion really. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Cullen: Let’s Strip Them

Heidi Cullen is a climatologist on the Weather Channel. She says if a meterologist does not buy into the global warming theory their seal from the American Meterological Society should be taken away. She also says it’s not political. It’s all political. The airplay and the loudest voices all come... Sign in to see full entry.

Democrats Not Exactly Doing It Better.....Are They?

If you thought by electing the Democrats you were going to get better government you might want to rethink your position. Not only are the Dems laughable, but some of their antics might border on the criminal, or at least unethical. First of all, what happened to the first 100 hours. I thought we...

Are These Soldiers Really This Stupid?

Under a news story whose headline reads, "GI’s See Flaw In Bush’s Plan", several of our soldiers spoke out against their boss, the Commander-in-Chief President Bush. Isn’t this against the rules and punishable by some very harsh action. Sudarsan Raghavan writes a story for the Washington Post. In... Sign in to see full entry.

I’m Against That

To me, it’s humorous to see the opposition to the war in Iraq wage war on our own Commander in Chief. First, let’s remember President Bush was giving the authority to do just what he did by an overwhelming majority of the Congress supported by a like number of American citizens. The Congress has...

Have You Ever Thought About This

We did not win the Vietnam War. The things that caused us to lose that war are very much prevalent in today’s society. The media is very anti-war which is very much reminiscent of the way things were back in the late 60’s and beyond. Remember Walter Cronkite and the Tet Offensive reporting. The Viet...

Democrats Working On First 100 Hours

I guess the clock has begun ticking for the first 100 hours of the Democrats rule. The first order of business was to pass an increase in the minimum wage. That is good and bad depending on how you look at it. It’s good if you are a worker making less than what the minimum will rise to. It’s bad if... Sign in to see full entry.

They Thought They Knew

Ohio is a pretty reliable Republican state in most elections. Yet, in the last election they voted for several Democratic candidates in major races which surprised me a bit. After thinking about that for a while I have figured the entire state must have just had some kind of collective hiccup in... Sign in to see full entry.

My Take On Things

The US has reportedly struck and killed a top al-Qaida operative in Somalis. We had at least one AC-130 gunship that pounded Islamic extremists in the extreme southern part of the country. We think we have killed one of the al-Qaida members responsible for the bombing of our embassies in Kenya and... Sign in to see full entry.
