I’m a little lost here

The DU Moonbats (are there any that aren’t?) are pushing for "progressives" to sign this Pledge to Protect and Strengthen Social Security. Ok, they are entitled to their opinions. They obviously do not like President Bush’s plan. They want this sent to all their Congress Critters: I pledge to the people of my district and […]

Hughes, Nixon, Bribes, Watergate

Now this is interesting: A chief Senate Watergate investigator told "60 Minutes" that Howard Hughes gave a $100,000 bribe to President Nixon and that may have led to the break-in that started the chain of events that culminated with Nixon’s resignation in 1974, according to a report aired Sunday. Terry Lenzner, who was assistant chief […]

Fienstein Pushing Asaault Rifle Ban

Diane Fienstien is planning on reintroducing the Assault Weapons Ban that Congress (not Bush) let lapse in 2004. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein renewed one of Washington’s long- running and most bitterly fought battles Friday, saying she will introduce legislation seeking to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban that expired in September after 10 years. Gun […]

Wedgies Award

I will admit, I have been rather remiss about discussing politics as of late. I was getting a bit burned out on it. I like partisan politics. Left vs. Right, ideas, agendas, facts. But, it is hard to debate whose policies are better when all I see from the Left is “I hate Bush.” Their […]

Hawkins on Thomas

The emminent John Hawkins has more on the Gannon/Gucker affair, and take sHelen Thomas to task. Can any lefty show prove that Helen Thomas is a real reporter? I thought not. BTW, an un-named source from somewhere on the earth has hintimated that Hillary is hiring female S&M bondage escorts at least once a week. […]

See, it’s that privatization thing

Uh oh. Somethings wonky in Canada, Contrarians (hat tip to Tom’s Rants, via The Eclectic Econoclast, who lives in Ontario) The Canadian Pension Plan [CPP] has a reserve fund that is invested in the market, not in special gubmnt securities, as is the U.S. Social Security fund. Last year, this reserve fund earned a return […]

Some Southern Tips for Dr. Dean

Dr "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for" Dean apparently wants to do what he can to win back the Southern States for the Demorats. Yes, I know, this is the same party that keeps calling us Southerners (always capitalized!) right wing wacko Rednecks, among other slurs. So, I humbly offer my advice […]

The Gannon Issue

For about a week now, I have been trying to find out from the Contrarians why they are making such a huge issue out of the Jeff Gannon Contraversy. So far, no one is giving forth on their reasoning. Sure, it was a bad idea for the White House to give him credentials, but, then, […]

Gay Penguin Controversy

Geoffrey at Dog Snot Diaries is wondering what the deal is with gay penguins. I don’t understand this. These penguins always seem to find they’re way into any discussion about whether homosexuality is a choice or genetic, and whether it can be a learned behavior. Some zookeeper decides they may be homo because there simply […]

Bush, Live in Raleigh

President Bush will be present for a townhall meeting in Raleigh today at the BTI Center, discussing Social Security and probably other issues. For those who get it, it is on WRAL-5 out of Raleigh. You can also got WRAL’s homepage, and supposedly see it streaming. As a side bar, you did not want to […]
