There’s a lot being said over waterboarding.  Michael Mukasey’s nomination is said to be “drowning” over this one single issue.  Joe Biden and Patrick Leahy, who are prone to oppose just about anything for the sake of politics, are “concerned” that Mukasey, rather than completely cowering and denouncing PC-torture-procedure-of-the-day, stated he’d rather look at each [...]

I have written a few times about Westboro Church.  They are disgusting and abusing religion in the worst possible way.  Well, one father of a slain soldier has had enough.  Albert Snyder, father of Matthew Snyder, is suing Westboro for disrupting his son’s funeral.  I am 100% in support of Albert’s lawsuit.  However, he’s an [...]

That’s the headline you won’t see.  This is what I’m referring to:
Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What [...]

I have been helping a friend of mine deal with Conseco Life Insurance over a small policy that pays a maximum of $70 a day for hospice type services.  I can’t go into their personal details here due to HIPAA regulations.  I also will not bore everyone with all the background of Conseco right now.  [...]

I have written a lot on Louisiana’s propensity to condone corruption in their government.  From governor to mayors to congressmen, it just seemed to be an accepted part of doing business.  No matter how bad things got, they just kept sending the same people back.  William Jefferson’s still there, Ray Nagin’s still there, Blanco decided [...]

Well, it’s her ad about Bush’s trap door:

I have a couple of problems with this:

It’s pure rhetoric for starters.  She’s not saying one single word about HOW she’s going to build the middle class.  IMO, the middle class is the hardest group to deal with because if someone’s rich, there’s no problem.  If someone’s poor, [...]

This is nuts:
City health officials took steps Thursday toward opening the nation’s first legal safe-injection room, where addicts could shoot up heroin, cocaine and other drugs under the supervision of nurses.
Hoping to reduce San Francisco’s high rate of fatal drug overdoses, the public health department co-sponsored a symposium on the only such facility in [...]

First, Nancy Pelosi promised to take her bi-partisan support and push the Armenian Genocide resolution to a vote.  In the process, ignoring the advice of just about every concceivable branch of government that was having to deal with the consequences.  It served no purpose, got no public support, and was panned mightily from ambassadors to [...]

Kids at King Middle School in Portland Maine haveto be feeling pretty darn good about themselves.  The school’s so concerned about their health and welfare that they are passing out birth control for those that feel the urge.  I’m just totally stumped by this one.  We’re talking 12-14 year olds.  For the most part, I [...]

If you’re through laughing, dig this:
Despite McKinney posting a letter on her Web site last month, saying she is not interested in the Green Party nomination, a group called “Run! Cynthia! Run!” is trying to draft her as a candidate in California. McKinney and six other Green Party candidates, including Ralph Nader were nominated by [...]
