Cheese and Crackers feast

This is something that I have been thinking about on and off all day. I have as of yet to post about the plight of Terry Schiavo. Like some, such as Instapundit, I really do not have strong feelings one way or another. That is not to say that I do not have the feelings, […]

That Vast Euroconomy

And the Left wants us to be like France and Germany why? Germany has an unemployment rate of 12.6%, and France’s crept up to 10%. Compare that to the US rate of 5.4%. And with the economic growth rate at an estimated 1% and 1.8% for Germany and France, respectively, neither country is expecting their […]

The Pope Dying is Not Funny

I caught the link to the 52 Funniest Things about Pope John Paul II dying somewhere or other, but never got the chance to read it. Go see Secure Liberty, SteveL has the information. I’ve got a sense of humor and generally believe that people need to get over themselves and quit crying about being […]

NK Nukes: To Negotiate or Not

No Thanks, We’re Fine Without You

While we welcome more involvement from the Germans in training Iraqi Security forces, I would hope that they do not expect any sort […]

A Bit More on Social Security

Does this sound familiar? An administration official said, "There’s a substantial chance that by March, the Republicans will be attacking the Democrats as socialists and Democrats will be accusing Republicans of wanting your grandmother to survive on cat food." That was November, 1998. Clinton was pushing for Social Security reform. Sounds a bit like the […]
