Iran: talking tough, but carrying a small stick

Well, a small stick of dynamite! Iran knows it can talk tough and incur very little wrath at this time. The United States can’t fight another ground war. The Europeans won’t fight any type of war. The Russians and Chinese are on Iran’s side, at least tacitly, just to foment hate and dissension. So... Sign in to see full entry.

It was in bad taste and despicable, but totally predictable!

Coretta Scott King’s funeral service should have been a solemn event. All speakers involved should have remembered Mrs. King for being not only a great woman, but a woman who stood up for what she believed. While there was eulogizing about her and praise for her late husband, The Rev. Dr. Martin... Sign in to see full entry.

Budget battles will begin

The President put forth his annual budget for the coming fiscal year. The bellyaching began almost immediately. Many groups are crying foul already. I am ready to cry foul over the groups that are crying foul. Of course, we will get into a big word of words with each other over the size of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Kerry, 53% of our children don’t graduate; appalling!

John Kerry stated that figure on an early morning national TV show last week. Am I appalled at a figure like that or what? According to Kerry only 47% of our children graduate from high school. That is not good and I think we should check into that. How can we possibly make that 47% figure look... Sign in to see full entry.

That was some discussion; more of my thoughts

This morning I have gone back over many of the comments in my "Idiots" post. There are some really good comments in the whole deal. Unfortunately, for the more liberal members of the commenters, I think corbin and offbeats are really the best of the commenters. Offbeats was correct in her... Sign in to see full entry.

Once again liberals look like idiots!

(I thought about not writing this, but then again I thought is should be said.) President Bush nominated Samuel Alito to serve on the Supreme Court after Harriet Miers withdrew from consideration. At that point the liberals began to have collective cows. They began to whine, bitch, piss, moan, wail,... Sign in to see full entry.

Cindy Sheehan is ......something else!

Cindy Sheehan went to the State of the Union Address last night with a t-shirt that read, "2245 Dead. How many more?". Sheehan is really enjoying her fifteen mintues of fame isn’t she? There are some serious issues here that I am having problems with. I am having trouble stomaching Miss Sheehan.... Sign in to see full entry.

Alito is on the Supreme Court; glad that is all over!

With lightning speed Samuel Alito was sworn in to serve on the high court just hours after being confirmed. If the Federal Government worked at that speed to get tax refund checks to people we would live in a truly wonderful country. I am glad it is all over. I am tired of hearing the Democrats and...

Let’s count those votes again

The vote to cut off debate in the Senate today was 72-25 in favor of cutting if off. I know there was an outside chance of a filibuster, but the bigger deal may have been not getting the sixty votes to cut off debate. There was a chance that could happen. The spot will be Judge Alito’s when only 50... Sign in to see full entry.

Hillary says explanation “far-fetched”

Oh, I am sorry. I did not realize she was talking about President Bush and his explanation of the NSA program. I thought she was coming clean on some of her and her husband’s explanations for some of their deceit in their years in the White House. After thinking about it for a bit I realized she...
