If Withdrawal from Iraq was the Will of the Voters last November . . .

... then the decision by Congressional Democrats to remove deadlines for withdrawal from Iraq from war funding legislation means one or more of at least five things: The voters changed their minds since November. The Democrats were wrong about November and did a course correction. The Democrats lied... Sign in to see full entry.

Using less ga$ to save money? You’re going to pay more for it anyway!

Are you reducing your ga$ usage like you’ve been told you should? Well, good for you. Every mile you don’t drive because ga$ is so expensive, every time you cram yourself into your high-mileage subcompact rice burner, every extra dollar you have to pay for a hybrid, you’re helping save ga$. You’re... Sign in to see full entry.

Wow, Did That Ga$ Station Boycott Ever Work!

All sorts of people were excited about sending the oil companies a message by boycotting gas stations on May 15. The e-mail message I (repeatedly) received encouraging me to participate claimed that the last time this was done, gas prices fell sharply right afterward. Don't buy gas on the 15th, and...

Poll: Local Governments Ready for Disaster, Feds Not

That’s the headline of a rather strange AP story, available at http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/15/disaster.poll.ap/. Here’s the text: Story Highlights • Two-thirds of those polled say local responders, hospitals, families prepared • Only three in 10 have the same confidence in the federal...

SCANDAL! New Iraq Bill to Call for Privatizing Iraq Oil!

This grew out of my overhearing Dennis [the Menace] Kucinich (D-Ohio, unfortunately) expressing his outrage in a radio sound bite over the pending privatization of Iraqi oil. “How like a socialist and a liberal,” I thought, “being scandalized over the privatization of business.” But that was only...

Sharpton Slurs Mormons, and it’s Their Fault?

Move over, Fred Astaire, and sit down, Gregory Hines! Here is one of the slickest, savviest, nimblest pieces of twinkle-toed tap-dancing I have ever seen or heard. You likely have heard of The Reverend Al Sharpton’s slam of Governor Mitt Romney and his Mormon faith, which he slipped into a debate... Sign in to see full entry.

Upset About Ga$ Prices?

You're not the only one, by a long shot. I just hope you have a more realistic approach to them than either our Congress or the chuckleheaded notion of boycotting gas stations for a day. The high prices are driven by demand outstripping refining capacity. So how do the geniuses in Congress respond?... Sign in to see full entry.

10,000 Dead in American Tornado!

Barak "Smokey" Obama had, by his admission, a bad day today. Seems that Smokey, so named for his politically incorrect (for anybody but a liberal) addiction to tobacco, got just a little confused about the fatalities in the Greensburg, Kansas tornado. From a story at... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
