In an unprecedented and historic pot-calling-the-kettle-black moment, Jimmuh Carter, the one-term President who presided over the energy crisis and stagflation, let dozens of Americans rot in the hands of islamofascists during the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis, and responded to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by refusing to let Americans participate in gymnastics and the [...]

No, not the one referring to technology… the one referring to the Michael Moore’s of the world:
Short, fat people may get rights
BOSTON — Ellen Frankel stands just 4-foot-8 inches tall, a size that allowed larger co-workers to playfully scoop her up at the office and make remarks about her height. Some even patted her [...]

Looks like Republicans have caved and joined with Democrats to approve the acquisition of the U.S. to Mexico.
Key senators in both parties announced agreement with the White House Thursday on an immigration overhaul that would grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and fortify the border.
Of course, they toss [...]

Al Gore’s written a new book entitled The Assault on Reason.
When I first read that title, I wasn’t sure whether it was an autobiography or that was just describing the contents.

John Edwards reminds us about his “two Americas”…
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife reported $29.5 million in assets, including millions of dollars in a hedge fund he worked for part-time.
Part-time… imagine how much he could’ve made if that pesky government job hadn’t kept him so busy.
The couple also reported investment income of nearly [...]

Given the speed at which global warming proponents declare the end of the world when the “average” temperature rises a degree or two in a given week or month, it’s only fair to ask whether this latest news is indication of a global cooling trend:
The average temperature in April 2007 was 51.7 F. This was [...]

Some in the MSM have been bashing blogs lately for not having the appropriate level of vetting to the stories we post. They claim that “real” news outlets have endless layers of review so only accurate information is disseminated.
Wrong. Watch as this MSNBC reporter cites the anti-Bush parody website WhiteHouse.org as she tries [...]

Looks like people don’t care much for the Democrat swamp:
According to the May 10-13, 2007, Gallup Poll, 29% of Americans approve and 64% disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job. Congressional approval is down 4 percentage points since last month, and is 3 points lower than the 32% average measured during the first [...]

From WaPo:
Mohamad al-Janabi, a reputed al-Qaeda member in the nearby city of Salman Pak, said in a telephone interview that he was unable to contact his comrades in Mahmudiyah to determine whether they were responsible for the attack.
But he added: “I can assure you that we will start pressuring Bush in a new way at [...]

Come on, did you really think they were going to keep their campaign promises?
House Democrats are suddenly balking at the tough lobbying reforms they touted to voters last fall as a reason for putting them in charge of Congress.
Now that they are running things, many Democrats want to keep the big campaign donations and [...]

Not as much as the liberals would like you to think.
Amazing, isn’t it, how the conventional wisdom that holds sway among many sophisticated — i.e. liberal — Washingtonians and New Yorkers is often so completely divorced from reality.
These folks have come to take it as a given that America’s involvement in Iraq has inflicted [...]

It shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that many of the Democrat Presidential candidates don’t even think there’s a war on terror going on.
It looks like the Left is rehashing the “Katrina antiwar strategy”. The newest campaign kicked off this past weekend when Kansas Democrat Governor Kathleen Sebelius claimed that shortages of equipment and [...]

I’m willing to bet liberals don’t raise the “separation of church and state” myth with this use of the Church to advance a political agenda.
Churches in five big U.S. cities plan to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, offering their buildings as sanctuary if need be, as they pressure lawmakers to create a path to citizenship [...]

The French have rejected Socialism and anti-Americanism. Instead, they’ve elected a guy who favors tax cuts, supports tough immigration policies, likes the idea that unemployed people are obliged to take up offered work and is ready to work with America.
It’s ironic that while the French have rejected the very sociliasm that has driven their [...]

What an inspiration. I saw Nick Vujicic at church yesterday and what a message it was. Like me, you’ve probably never heard of Nick, but his impact on the world is tremendous. Nick travels around the world sharing God’s message. He knows a spiritual joy many of us may never completely [...]

From Australia:
“Our main argument is that Hiasl is a person and has basic legal rights,” said Eberhart Theuer, a lawyer leading the challenge … “We mean the right to life, the right to not be tortured, the right to freedom under certain conditions,” Theuer said. … “If we can get Hiasl declared a person, he [...]

Who cares?
It’s still more than a year away and real life is passing us by while we decide which candidates had the best sound-bite material. It’s not as if the world’s problems can be solved by a bunch of polished politicos parading before television cameras responding to hostile and sometimes completely stupid questions by [...]

The primary reason Dianne Feinstein never considered joining the Republican Party?
Because the (D) next to her name prevents her from being jailed for corruption.
Anyone who knows much about real power in Congress knows that almost every member of the House and Senate lusts after a seat on the Appropriations Committee and hopes one day to [...]

According to the New York Times, a Republican candidate who professes faith as a Christian is just like al-Qaida.
But a Democrat candidate who professes faith as a Christian is tolerant, steadfast and moral.
What bias?

How else do you explain:
1. Temperature increase of about 0.5C since the 1970s,
2. Variations in radiation and temperature across the surface planet that are generating strong winds which can stir up giant dust storms, trapping heat and raising the planet’s temperature,
3. Widespread changes, with some areas becoming darker… and when a surface [...]
