The Most Ill-Advised Comment by a Politician in Years?

If you're looking for utterly ill-advised use of language in a comment by a politician, this one by Senator Larry Craig has to rank among the classics: "Arlen Specter is going to come out for my defense."?????????

To What Did Senator Larry Craig Plead, and Is It Grounds for Resignation?

Senator Craig pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Period. End of story. Meanwhile, the liberals are trying to spin this into him propositioning for gay sex and who knows what all else. In the desire to sensationalize the story, the basic fact of what he pleaded to, in the foolishness... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Congress Listen to President Bush? Or to the People?

This evening, I had the exciting experience of driving past a rather small gathering of moveon.org activists at a busy intersection. They were staging a candlelight vigil in protest of the war. In the fading light of sunset, their banner stood tall and proud for all to see, and I was so... Sign in to see full entry.

Craig Sex Allegation Another Reason to Vote Democrat?

I really try to keep my temper in check when I plan my little essays of commentary and satire, but the on-line story I saw today about Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and the sex charge against him made me blow my stack, for several reasons.

Is or Is Not Iraq a Sovereign Nation?

According to the anti-war people, Iraq most definitely is a sovereign nation, therefore we had no business invading it and deposing Saddam. Now, according to a story at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/20/AR2007082000871.html?hpid=topnews, noted anti-war senator Carl... Sign in to see full entry.

John Kerry: No Vietnam Bloodbath, and Reeducation Camps Make Good People

Senator and failed Presidential wannabe John Kerry was on C-Span's Washington Journal on July 19, and a caller made this comment to him: "I remember the horrible killings after Vietnam and the boat people coming over here, and I'd really hate to go off and leave our allies over in Iraq and I'm...

About this Blog

In the classic Star Trek episode, The Omega Glory, a primitive people called the Yangs is at war with the ruling government. As the episode progresses, the Yang war drums are heard in increasing volume in the distance until the Yangs finally invade the government city and defeat their oppressors. Their victory won, the Yang chieftain utters a resounding phrase, “That which was ours is ours again!” This blog is now a war drum. I add it to the growing chorus of drums beating in the hills around the city of Washington DC. I do not advocate a revolution of violence and war. But I am joining others in beating our war drums for a peaceful and sweeping revolution at the polls starting in November 2010. This revolution will restore conservatives to power, and that which was ours – liberty, prosperity, restrained government, the rule of law, and personal responsibility - shall be ours again.
