Happy Birthday: The Gipper Remembered
President Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004, would have been 96 years old today.
A statement released by Nancy Reagan sums it up her feelings, not to mention many of ours.
I’ve often reflected upon the man that is Ronald Reagan and attempted to figure out exactly why I loved the guy so much. After all, I never met [...]

Spending Some Time in the Clooney Bin
Actor George Clooney said some things in a recent interview that are typical confusing liberal tripe, but I thought I’d quickly point out a couple of items he said to use as specific examples.
The first thing the American left often opines is something along the line of what Clooney said in this interview:
“It is probably the worst [...]
“Poor Hardest Hit” Headline of the Day: Global Warming Threatens to Make Africa Miserable
This morning I ran across something that we see almost every day in the news — the “poor hardest hit” headline, or “Duh!” as they’re known among followers of current events.
The story quotes U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (at least the U.N. finally got it right and hired a buy with the word “Ban” right there [...]
Monday’s Column: Not A Filament of Your Imagination
Today’s column at WorldNetDaily highlights California Assemblyman Lloyd Levine’s introduction of a bill that would ban light bulbs – Well, the incandescent kind anyway.
Check out “Dim bulbs show us the light” for more on why this might be happening.

Hillary Goes After “Obscene Profits” — Cattle Futures Investment and Book Sales Windfall Oddly Excluded
Another liberal is trying to get her hands on somebody else’s money. This is nothing new, but with Hillary Clinton now running for president and Bill in tow, we’d better get used to it and keep one eye on our wallets and the other on our wives.
In the wake of the announcement of Exxon’s record [...]

“All we are saying, is give peace a channel”
Instead of 400 channels of total crap, you may soon have 401 channels of total crap.
In sticking with today’s “peace” theme, I’m pleased to announce that Bob Geldof – of Live Aid and Live 8 fame – has a company called Ten Alps that will soon launch a new channel devoted entirely to world peace.
So, if you’re one of [...]
On Nominating Myself for the Nobel Peace Prize
Emboldened by the fact that I was a co-winner, along with the rest of you, of Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” accolade, I am now seeking a Nobel Peace Prize. I sent an email to the Nobel Institute in Oslo (SexxyPacifists@Yahoo.com) just ahead of the Feb. 1 deadline and nominated myself.
They say that Al Gore is [...]

San Francisco Shocked At News of Heterosexual Affair
Given what we’re used to coming out of California, and politics in general, this story didn’t turn in the direction I’ve been programmed to expect:
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s re-election campaign manager resigned Wednesday after confronting the mayor about an affair Newsom had with his wife while she worked in the mayor’s office, City Hall [...]
Joe “Howza Bouts a Shine, Boy?” Biden Strikes Again
Joe Biden, who as of now is a presidential candidate — at least until the first primary – has now been in so much hot water that his status on the ballot has been officially changed to “Teabag.”
The Delaware Senator’s latest emptying of the verbal bilge tanks was in describing Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American [...]

Coveted Maples Endorsement Puts Hillary in the Driver’s Seat
Marla Maples, former wife of Donald Trump, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
Maples made the endorsement in an email sent to friends. The letter concluded with a quote from Winston Churchill:
“You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.”
Not the least of those things you make a good [...]
Light Bulb Ban for California: Because You Can’t Smoke Cigarettes If You Can’t See ‘Em
The world is going mad about the speculative-at-best “science” of man-made global warming — simply nuts. And nowhere is this happening more than in California, which is weaving itself into a cuckoo’s nest to such a degree that the only way to save The Golden State now would be to crop-dust it with Thorazine.
Recent “news” [...]

U.S. Over-reacting In Response to 9/11?
Some of my friends on the right are shaking their heads at Johns Hopkins history professor and New Republic contributing editor David Bell’s column Sunday in the L.A. Times. In the essay, Bell spells out why he believes that the United States is reacting too harshly to a 9/11 that was, to Bell’s way of reasoning, not [...]

Senator John “botched joke” Kerry, who has himself become a sort of national pariah — at least if you’re a member of the military or have properly functioning neurons – is the winner of this week’s “Jimmy Carter Award” for doing what liberals do best: going overseas to knock the United States and tap dance for some of the [...]

Air America Sold For a Hybrid Car, Tofu Burger, and a Birkenstock To Be Named Later
The long-struggling liberal talk radio network Air America, which filed for bankruptcy back in October, has been sold to the SL Green Realty Group for whatever they had under their couch cushions.
It was reported at the time of the bankruptcy filing that Air America had $4.3 million in assets, $20.2 million in liabilities and has lost [...]
The Star Mangled Banner: “Hillary Rodham Clin-tone Deaf” Rocks Iowa
Well, it’s taken years, but Hillary Clinton finally has something in common with me. Neither of us can sing. Will it be enough to get my vote? I seriously doubt it, but at least she’s trying.
There’s something in the air in Iowa. This kind of thing isn’t new there. Candidates who are rookies at presidential races [...]
Monday’s Column: The Comeback of Al Gore
I usually don’t make predictions — at least not serious ones — but in today’s column at WorldNetDaily I make a prognostication about Al Gore. The conditions are perfect for the former Clinton veep to not only join the fray, but to win the Democrats’ nomination in ‘08. Why?
Read “Al Gore’s 2nd wind” for more.

Jane: Stop This Crazy Thing!
A girl is born the daughter of a rich and famous actor. The story, all too often, goes downhill from there. Jane Fonda’s story doesn’t really go downhill, but spins sideways, where it loses control, careens into a guardrail, flips, makes exercise videos and comes to rest for a time in Ted Turner’s bank account.
Jane [...]

Global Warming, and Alec Baldwin, Take The Weekend Off
Just three weeks ago, the cartoon bluebirds that flutter around Alec Baldwin’s head were working overtime, as the actor was freaking out because it was 72 degrees in Central Park in early January.
Alec was going bonkers in thinking it was a clear sign of end of the world. You’d have thought it was the second coming of Barry [...]
The Stars Align: Al Gore, Democrat Nominee
At this moment, there are three declared candidates who are considered “front-runners” for the Democrats’ nomination: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. That rattling sound you hear are DNC nerves.
It isn’t looking good for Hillary. Though polls show her as the early favorite, Hillary is sitting on so many fences that eventually she’ll succumb to splinter-shock. [...]

John “I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay” Edwards Builds a New Home
Here’s a picture of a huge lot being cleared for a home, one that will be “the biggest in the county,” that is being built in North Carolina by former Kerry running-mate and current Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards:
Wow, I’d hate to see how many of those trees would have been cut down if Edwards wasn’t such a staunch environmentalist. [...]
