Ever read one of those posts that just puzzles you? I do that all the time. Kinda like sitting in a chair that’s about to tilt over. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it hurts. I was reading a post by Andrew Pavelyev in The New Majority and got that feeling. He meanders until he reaches his [...]

Scott Ott has been one of my favorite authors for quite some time. Here is yet another reason why: …..Sen. Obama, a man who aspires to be our commander in chief, tells us that a nation called Afghanistan is where this threat dwells. Yet, he says, it does not dwell in Iraq. He tells us [...]

I am reading right now that Benazir Bhutto died in the suicide attack on her rally. This is awful news. I have heard a lot of speculation that Al Qaeda has focused on Pakistan since it’s getting its butt kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan. That makes sense. What doesn’t make sense there is attacking Bhutto. [...]

I was listening to a debate I think it was on CNN. The emphasis of the debate was how qualified Hillary Clinton was to lead the country based on her own statements of how she had helped lead the country during her husband’s tenure.

Or probably any office for that matter. Check this out: At the event in North Hampton, Iowa, a questioner took issue with Clinton’s recent Senate vote calling on President Bush to formally call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.

I just finished the entirety of Barack Obama’s speech to the Wilson Center in Washington, DC. Obama’s toast.

Michael Chertoff created a buzz, and has done a weak job dealing with it. Basically he insinuated there’s a growing threat from Al Qaeda due to increased chatter. What he has not done is say there is an increased threat from Al Qaeda due to increased chatter. He upped that concern by saying it’s something [...]

Newsweek apologized on Sunday for the article, but while acknowledging possible errors, the magazine stopped short of retracting it.
