Silky Loves The Military! So Do The DUmmies!

No, really, he does. He loves it so much, he is going to do this A top to bottom review. Think he plans to deem most everything “wasteful?” I do. Military projects like Star Wars have always caused liberals heartburn. God forbid we should have the ability to shoot down nuclear missiles headed our way! […]

Mitt Goes Osama Obama

Heh heh In an apparent slip of the tongue, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has accused Barack Obama, the Illinois senator and Democratic hopeful, of calling on terrorists to unite in Iraq. While criticising Mr Obama and other Democratic presidential candidates on foreign policy, Mr Romney said: “Actually, just look at what Osam – Barack […]

A Tale of War (Bush) and Peace (Gore)

No, really. My post title is the short line for a Washington Post "edistory" by Peter Baker Somehow, it seemed only fitting that at the moment of Al Gore’s triumph, George W. Bush would spend the day in Florida, scene of the fateful clash that propelled one to the presidency and the other to the Nobel […]

Will Tom Freidman Denounce Hillary As A “9/11 Candidate?”

Remember back to last Sunday, when Tom Freidman wrote Times columnists are not allowed to endorse candidates, but there’s no rule against saying who will not get my vote: I will not vote for any candidate running on 9/11. We don’t need another president of 9/11. We need a president for 9/12. I will only […]

Who Is Your Perfect Presidential Candidate?

Take the test and see. (h/t Sal) Mine ended up being Romney, and I had picked "undecided." I know some others who came up with John Cox. Who?

Generally, I am a very private person. I tend to have to know someone well before I share personal information. But, I want to share this story with you. About mid August, my left ear and left jaw started hurting a bit. I figured it was either some wax buildup, or a minor ear infection. […]

Richardson=Mega Panderer For God!

Packs the pander in! "Iowa, for good reason, for constitutional reasons, for reasons related to the Lord, should be the first caucus and primary," Richardson, New Mexico’s governor, said at the Northwest Iowa Labor Council Picnic. "And I want you to know who was the first candidate to sign a pledge not to campaign anywhere […]

Romney Releases Health Care Plan

Why is it that Republicans running for President are coming out with detailed health care plans, something that is low on the priority list, yet, Democrats, who have made it a primary issue, are still only talking in generalities? Perhaps they will pull a Kerry, and promise to tell us their plans after they are elected? […]

Shrillary Ducks Socialized Health Care Question

Brian Debose at the Washington Times writes that "Clinton Blasts Blogger." CNN says "Clinton lays in to critic at forum." The NY Times has it as a "testy exchange on health care." Not one of them wonders if "hmm, is the question asker correct?" (NY TIMES) LAS VEGAS – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton just had an […]

Man Ticketed For Political Sign

An interesting discussion Kent – A soft-spoken teacher posted the words "Impeach Bush" in a public garden, and Kent police cast him as an outlaw. Outlaw? Little overblown, eh? Today Kevin Egler is fighting that in Kent Municipal Court, and the case is emerging as a free-speech issue of interest well beyond the boundaries of […]
