Tomorrow, my wife will go into the hospital to have a bone spur removed which is tearing up her rotator cuff.

What Is Wrong With Them?

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Peggy Noonan has really hit one out of the park today: This week comes the previously careful Sen. Barack Obama, flapping his wings in Time magazine and explaining that he’s a lot like Abraham Lincoln, only sort of better. “In Lincoln’s rise from poverty, his ultimate mastery of language and law, his capacity to overcome [...]

Additions and Deletions

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

I made some changes to the Blogroll. I have removed Rachel Lucas from Blue Eyed Infidel. She hasn’t posted in over a month, and her recent past indicates that there will probably be few, if any, posts in the future. This is a shame, as she has a real talent for expressing herself via the [...]

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

President Bush’s address to the nation last night went a long way towards reassuring a nervous country that the War on Terror is proceeding nicely, and that any sacrifices made by Americans will be worth it in the long run.

Those liberal loonies in California are at it again: SAN YSIDRO – Today, San Ysidro Middle School will recognize 516 eighth-graders in a ceremony to promote them to high school, regardless of whether they passed middle school. More than a fourth of them did not. In today’s ceremony, 143 students who either flunked classes, didn’t [...]

Not Content With Your Money, Now Liberals Want Your Private Property As Well

Friday, June 24th, 2005

When I was growing up during the Cold War, my father used to tell me that the difference between Communism and Democracy was that in a Democracy, the citizens could own property, whereas Communism keeps all property in the hands of the State. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision in Kelo v. New London, the [...]

In case you missed it, Karl Rove hit the nail on the head yesterday when he said the following: Bush’s chief political adviser, Rove said in a speech Wednesday that “liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.” Conservatives, he told the [...]

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

I have written about the farce known as the International Freedom Center before (here, here, and here), so my ears perked up when I read this over at Michelle Malkin’s blog: The battle over Ground Zero continues, and the public relations master for the Blame America side is losing his cool. – Check out this [...]

Democrats are continuing to prevent the Bush Administration from reforming the failing Social Security system: Senate Democrats said on Wednesday they would not be drawn into a White House “bait and switch” strategy on Social Security and insisted President Bush take private investment accounts off the table.
