I Read the News Today – Oh Boy!
The She-Ogre and I are on the front page of the local newspaper today. This past weekend was Amateur Radio Field Day. We setup across the parking lot from Wal-Mart in Sanford and operated with temporary antennas and generator power through most of the 24 hour event, making contacts with other hams across the world. [...]
Karl Rove Tells the Truth – Democrats Angry
Karl Rove told the truth about how the left responded to the 9/11 attacks and now the left is up in arms. “Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our [...]
I Will Be Bush’s Supreme Court Nominee
Speculation abounds that there will be at least one vacancy created on the US Supreme Court next week. When that happens, Bush will nominate a replacement. Then, the fun begins. My speculation for the replacement is that Bush will nominate ME for the US Supreme Court. Once he does so, the left will immediately start [...]
Sean Haugh on Politics, Education and Race in Durham, NC
My old friend Sean Haugh has a blog. Sean is a really great guy, and it looks like his blog is getting off to a great start. His latest post is entitled Burning Crosses Aren’t Our Only Problem and is well worth a read. Sean talks about race issues in Durham, and how they affect [...]
Durbin’s Motivations
Why did Dick Durbin say what he said? Was it because he truly believed it to be true, or was it because he was willing to say whatever it took to hurt George W. Bush? Since the substance of his statement (equating the Guantanamo Bay facilities to the murder-factories of Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot) [...]
Why I’m Glad We Have Private Health Care
Calls continue every day, from people who don’t know any better, to nationalize America’s health care system. They believe, wrongly, that health care could be provided better and cheaper if it was freely available to all, and paid for through taxes. The problem is, socialized medicine (referred to as “single payer” by its supporters) is [...]
Durbin Should Resign
Dick “Turban” Durbin has apologized. Not good enough. If Trent Lott has to step down from a Senate leadership position for making a not-very-well-thought-out joke at a party celebrating an old man with a checkered past, then Durbin should step down from his leadership position too. Where Lott’s mistake was not considering all the facets [...]
Marginal Revolution on Creationism -vs Evolution
An interesting post, and open comments for debate, over at Marginal Revolution. “Suppose that you find a watch in the forest. If you know there is no watchmaker then the theory of evolution is a brilliant and compelling explanation for the presence of complexity without design. But suppose that you know a watchmaker exists then [...]
“Big Time!”
A big ol’ hat tip to Michelle Malkin for this one. ‘Vice President Dick Cheney appeared this morning on Steve Gill Mornings in Nashville, Tennessee and was asked about Dick Durbin’s comparison of U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis. The Vice President noted that he had to be “careful about what I say since [...]
