…who needs enemies? Mexico is now providing satellite navigation systems so that illegal immigrants from Mexico can safely find their way across the U.S. border.
Would-be illegal immigrants planning to cross the desert and enter the United States on foot are to be given hand-held satellite devices by the Mexican authorities to ensure they arrive safely. [...]

Who comes up with these idiotic ideas anyway? I mean, this is damn embarassing, is what it is.
The Bush administration wants North Korea’s attention, so like a scolding parent it’s trying to make it tougher for that country’s eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters.
The U.S. government’s first-ever effort to use [...]

The stock market understands that having the Democrats in control of Congress will be a disaster for the economy. Why don’t the American people understand that?
U.S. stock futures pointed to a sharp sell-off on Wall Street on Wednesday after Democrats swept Republicans from power in the U.S. House of Representatives and an undecided Senate race [...]

Aaron Klein, World Net Daily’s Jerusalem correspondent, has recently interviewed several Islamist terrorists to see if they were following the upcoming election in the US and what they thought of it. And surprise surprise, they were very interested in having the Democratic party take over Congress. See, these guys aren’t stupid. Bloodthirsty yes, but they [...]

Big Lizards looks at the life and times of Barack Obama and finds that his real life certainly doesn’t match the tales of hardship and woe that the spinmeisters are promulgating. Horatio Alger he ain’t!
I confess, I was surpised at what an adventurous, danger-filled life he lead, the things those oyster-eyes of his have seen. [...]

Here’s a woman who was helping an imprisoned terrorist communicate with his followers so that he could plan future terrorist attacks from his prison cell, and she receives a sentence of 28 months when the federal sentencing guidelines called for a maximum of 30 years!
A firebrand civil rights lawyer who has defended Black Panthers and [...]

Yawn, another election, more Democratic vote fraud in the city of St. Louis. 
Election officials say hundreds of potentially bogus registration cards, including ones for dead and underage people, were submitted by a branch of a national group that has been criticized in the past for similar offenses.
At least 1,500 potentially fraudulent registration cards were turned [...]

Since Election Day is around the corner, the left-wing propagandists at the British medical Journal Lancet (which used to be one of the premier medical journals in the world) have decided to update the thoroughly debunked study which they published around Election Day 2004. That study purported that almost 200,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed [...]

Is it just a coincidence that the corrupt governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich recieved a $1500 check from somebody who was given a patronage job by the Blagojevich administration? Don’t answer that, it was a purely rhetorical question.
 
For months, Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been fending off accusations he bungled government programs and awarded jobs and [...]

Consumer sentiment for September came in significantly higher than predicted, mostly due to falling gasoline prices.
Falling gasoline prices helped brighten the mood of American consumers in September, sending a barometer of consumer sentiment higher than analysts expected.
The New York-based Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 104.5 from a revised reading [...]

Ronald Cass, Dean Emeritus of Boston University’s law school, pens a nice rebuttal to Bill Clinton’s lies during the Chris Wallace interview regarding how hard he went after Osama Bin Laden.
 
Before anyone starts taking our most recent ex-President too seriously, let’s review the bidding. Clinton wasn’t the President who ordered the armed forces to go after [...]

Over at GOP Bloggers there’s a good post regarding how gung ho key Democrats were during the Clinton administration  to use military force against Iraq because of their weapons of mass destruction.
“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver [...]

Mayor Richard Daley vetoed the idiotic “living wage” bill handed to him by the Chicago City Council.

Mayor Richard Daley vetoed an ordinance Monday that would have required mega-retailers to pay their workers more than other employers after some of the nation’s largest stores including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. warned the measure would keep them from opening [...]

According to Kofi Annan, Syria has agreed to be in charge of enforcing an arms embargo of the terrorist group Hezbollah.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Friday that Syria had pledged to step up border patrols and work with the Lebanese army to stop the flow of weapons to Hezbollah.
Annan also said that he had asked [...]

Not surprisingly, many of the Lebanese returning to their devastated country are deluded enough to believe that Hezbollah has been victorious in their war against Israel.
The war started in Aitta Shaab, where Hizbullah fighters stole across the border and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers one month ago. When it ended at 8am yesterday morning – and [...]

First, the deranged loon McKinney lost her seat in Congress.
Cynthia McKinney, the fiery Georgia congresswoman known for her conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 attacks and the scuffle she had earlier this year with a U.S. Capitol police officer, lost a runoff election Tuesday for her district’s Democratic nomination.
Attorney Hank Johnson, a former county commissioner, [...]

As I mentioned a few days ago, the GOP had put forth a bill which would have given the Democrats the raise in the minimum wage which they wanted, in exchange for a reduction in the death tax. The bill easily passed in the House. However, the Senate Democrats, continuing their long history of not [...]

It looks as if there’s a very good chance that Senator Joe Lieberman will lose to Ned Lamont in the upcoming Democratic primary in Connecticut.
Millionaire businessman Ned Lamont opened a double-digit lead over veteran Sen. Joe Lieberman less than a week before Connecticut’s Democratic primary, according to a poll released Thursday.
Lamont, a political novice, had [...]

The Republicans in Congress are willing to entertain the possiblility of raising the minimum wage, but only in conjuction with cutting the death tax, and passing some other sundry tax cuts as well.
 
Republican leaders are willing to allow the first minimum wage increase in a decade but only if it’s coupled with a cut in [...]

You can plainly see the anti-Israeli bias of the Associated Press in the headline from this piece from today. Trust me, the areas in Lebanon  that Israel is attacking are not “suspected” Hezbollah targets, they are for a fact Hezbollah bases. Israel doesn’t just blow stuff up for no good reason.
 
Israel pounded suspected Hezbollah positions [...]

If you like to drive through Chicago talking on your cell phone, and eating goose liver pate,  the city of Chicago wants you to know that they’re coming after you!
If you’re a cell phone-using, goose liver-eating, cigarette-smoking, fast food-loving person, Chicago might not be your kind of town.
In this city that once winked at Prohibition, members [...]

Congress is working on scrapping their idiotic policy of tying Medicare reimbursement to physicians to economic growth. For years Congress has mandated that Medicare payments to doctors grow no faster than growth in the GDP, but it appears that will be changing soon.
It will cost billions of dollars to override required cuts in Medicare payments [...]

Here’s another silly AP-Ipsos poll that purports that people in this country are so fed up with the GOP that  the Democrats will regain control of the House and Senate in November.  Unfortunately for the AP, and everyone who reads the trash that they put out,  the results of the poll are so nebulous that [...]

For all those naysayers who  still don’t believe that tax cuts can stimulate the economy to the point that they wind up paying for themselves, I say get a grip on reality. The Federal budget deficit is falling rapidly due to the tax cuts passed by the Bush administration.
The projected US budget deficit unexpectedly has [...]

Over at Brad DeLong’s “reality based” blog, DeLong is ragging on Tom Maguire for writing that the Hamdan decision may be a Pyrric victory for the Democratic Party.

Tom Maguire loses his identity. He forgets that he is an American patriot, and for a moment becomes a cynical Republican partisan:
JustOneMinute: GD Hamdan – Careful What You [...]

The terrorist government that runs the Palestinian Authority states that they are now “implicitly” ready to recognize Israel. Oooh, how noble of them! First of all, Israel is a  nation created by UN mandate that has legally existed for about 60 years.  So, who gives a rats ass whether  the mass murdering thugs in the [...]

If you want to know why we’re going to have a major shortage of primary care physicians in the future, all you have to do is look at what’s happened to the income of family doctors over the past decade. Adjusted for inflation, they’ve dropped by 10%. The average primary doctor is the United States [...]

I wrote recently about the appalling and misguided attempts by a group called the Center For Science in the Public Interest to try to force Kentucky Fried Chicken, via a lawsuit, into changing the oil that it uses to fry it’s chicken in to an oil which is lower in trans fats. The obvious fact [...]

Geno’s Steaks (one of the finest food purveyors in the City of Brotherly Love in my opinion) is being threatened with a lawsuit for putting up a sign in their restaurant which states that, in the United States, we speak English. The suit is being filed by a (get this) civil rights agency, the Philadelphia [...]

A medical doctor and a consumer group are suing Kentucky Fried Chicken to try to force them to fry their chicken in a healthier type of cooking oil than they do presently, or at least make sure that consumers understand that the cooking oil the chain uses is not the healthiest.
 
 A doctor and a consumer [...]
