Mark Levin over at The Corner on NRO had this comment: So, the Iraqi government reportedly hasn’t met any of its targets . Has the Democrat Congress met any of its targets? Now, being as this is the first time I’ve ever seen a need to actually quote National Review here, I thought it must [...]

Here’s the scuttle making the rounds right now: Democratic leaders fear that Rep. William J. Jefferson’s indictment yesterday on racketeering and bribery charges, coming exactly one year after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi engineered his ouster from the powerful Ways and Means Committee, could rekindle a smoldering dispute between the speaker and black lawmakers who were [...]

The new, kinder, gentler, Nancy Pelosi led Congress. When the new Democrat controlled Congress took over in January, they got a reprieve, with about a 15% jump in approval ratings just for being there. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid of the Senate came in with guns firing. They passed all kinds of major legislation including [...]

Yesterday Bush vetoed the Iraqi pullout bill. In that bill, it had emergency spending for the military as well. That was both expected politically, and I expected it for bigger reasons. Spending will be done one way or another until a proper funding bill is presented. The war won’t stop just because a few loonies [...]

Apparently “the Dems” picked up the endorsement of MSNBC, who claims unequivocally that Americans are siding with Dems. The headline leaves no room for error. It’s not “most”, “a majority”, or “some”. It’s all. Every single American. Mexican, Canadien, Brazillian, it’s all of them. That’s a pretty powerful block of people to be supporting “Dem”. [...]

Sometimes something is so overt it just strikes me as being surreal how some people can claim it’s not what it seems. Former Representative Tom Andrews had this to say regarding the Out of Iraq Caucus ( and others ): Andrews, who met with Murtha on Tuesday to discuss legislative strategy, acknowledged "there is a [...]

Every single election, people all over the country whine that the election was fixed, rigged, or outright stolen. Pretty much every time, it leads nowhere. However, I have stumbled across a fairly local race that does show that sometimes mistakes ( or worse ) happens and the election is definitely in doubt. Here’s a good [...]

A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what happens when “national” expectations [...]

People have accused Google of allowing their political leanings to affect some of their content searches. Google of course denied the allegations. But, it was kind of obvious something was amiss. The reason I yanked Googe AdSense was because no matter what I wrote about Bush, their "unbiased" searches would ALWAYS come up with something [...]
