I was at the Post Office yesterday to pick up a certified letter. I was there for a little over an hour; there were 40 people in line, 2 clerks helping, and 1 supervisor watching both clerks. All I could think of is that I don't want my appointment with a doctor to golike this. … Continue reading 45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul

Cripple America
My opinion: Obama and his team are in waaaaay over their collective heads. They believe the world is basically good, and because Obama is in control of the White House, the world will warm to them and we will all live together in harmony. Except that's not the world. Putin will outmaneuver the clueless Obama. … Continue reading Cripple America
Nero Fiddled. Obama Does the Congo.
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeAnd the stock market burned. The Dow was down almost 300 more points today, probably on it's way to zero. And Obama dances the congo. I suspect they served appletinis. A week before that, the foot-stomping sounds of Sweet Honey in the Rock, a female a cappella group, filled the … Continue reading Nero Fiddled. Obama Does the Congo.
Surrender
Today, the Democratic Senate will attempt to surrender to the terrorists again. This is the second attempt to surrender. Bush vetoed the first attempt, and he promises to veto the second attempt. In the meantime, funding for the troops is being held hostage by defeatists that claim to "support the troops." How they claim to … Continue reading Surrender
Washington D.C.
Last week I wrote about Christian Submission to authorities so it seemed only right that a trip to Washington D.C. was in order. The wife & I planned a little mini-vacation to stay with a Russian friend in Alexandria, Virginia, just a piece up the ways (man it feels good to speak Texan again) from … Continue reading Washington D.C.
Border Placebo
Anything to get the American people off his back. I think years of liberals gnawing on Bush, I think they've finally eaten his backbone. Apparently Bush is going to propose some help for the Border Police by sending in the National Guard. Except the National Guard won't be able to actually do anything. And it's … Continue reading Border Placebo
Mainstream Media Sour Grapes
Amazing. The mainstream media criticized Dick Cheney for not releasing information on this weekend's shooting fast enough (even though it appears quick enough to me), then criticized him when the news was released to a local Texas newspaper instead of the gaggle of Washington reporters. Now they're critical of him because he chose to release … Continue reading Mainstream Media Sour Grapes
Oh Christmas Tree
Some time in the 1990s, the annual spruce placed on the Washington Capitol grounds started being called the "Holiday Tree" instead of "Christmas Tree." Nobody seems to know why it was changed, but it was at about the same time Bill Clinton was in the same city and struggling to keep his pants up. Coincidence? … Continue reading Oh Christmas Tree
Setting the Record Straight
Finally, the White House is addressing the liberal media for making outrageous claims about how Bush lied, led us into war, yada yada yada. Conservatives have long read the Washington Post and the New York Times and pointed out the errors, errors embraced by the liberal media to make their point. Two days ago, the … Continue reading Setting the Record Straight
Ill Wind May Not Blow to the Whitehouse
Will Hurricane Katrina spell the end of George Bush's Presidency? Almost certainly yes, with a few caveats. 😛 As the full horror of Hurricane Katrina sinks in, thousands of desperate columnists are asking if this is the end of George Bush's presidency. The answer is almost certainly yes, provided that every copy of the US … Continue reading Ill Wind May Not Blow to the Whitehouse
John Roberts Replaces Karl Rove
What happened to all the Karl Rove stories? Karl Rove go *poof* as the news media gears up to oppose John Roberts for the Supreme Court. The Karl Rove stories were just like the Tom DeLay stories. There was no meat to them, no substance, just media frenzy looking for something to damage Bush. The … Continue reading John Roberts Replaces Karl Rove
Restricting Senate Filibusters
NY Times, January 1, 1995 NY Times, March 6, 2005 In the last session of Congress, the Republican minority invoked an endless string of filibusters to frustrate the will of the majority. This relentless abuse of a time-honored Senate tradition so disgusted Senator Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, that he is now willing to … Continue reading Restricting Senate Filibusters
Another Hillary Conspiracy Theory
The cynic in me suspects this is an attempt to get Americans used to having a female President in an attempt to add support to Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid. Geena Davis Elected to ABC's White House Drama LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Oscar winner Geena Davis will star as the first female president of … Continue reading Another Hillary Conspiracy Theory
Friendship Over History
I'm going to applaud the decision by Doug Wead made last night; Wead admitted earlier this week that he had secretly taped Bush. He denied he was doing it for profit, and acknowledging that he may have betrayed a friendship. After pressure from fellow evangelists (not from the White House), Wead has reconsidered his position. … Continue reading Friendship Over History
Blogger Interview
One of the blogs I've just started reading is Amy's Humble Musings, winner of the 2005 Best New Evangelical Blog. I stumbled across it at just the right moment; she's starting a Interview Game as part of a "Blog-a-thon" at Buried Treasure Books to raise money for an Ethiopian orphan named Azanou who needs eye … Continue reading Blogger Interview

More SwiftVets for Truth
Update to the SwiftVets for Truth: Apparently that whole "John Kerry faked his wounds to get his Purple Hearts" isn't sitting well with John Kerry for some reason. Here's an update this afternoon. McCain denounced the ad, called for the White House to denounce it, too. The White House declined. (My opinion is that anybody … Continue reading More SwiftVets for Truth
Keeping Your Guard Up II
Heh. NYTimes took a lot of heat for their "oh, that terrorism threat is old news" article I blogged yesterday. Today, they're singing a different tune. Senior government officials said Tuesday that new intelligence pointing to a current threat of a terrorist attack on financial targets in New York and possibly in Washington - not … Continue reading Keeping Your Guard Up II
Kerry Admits Bush's Economy is Robust
It was only a matter of time - John Kerry spent months criticizing the economy and blaming it on Bush, but all the signs showed that the economy had turned around and was starting to accelerate rapidly. At the convention last week, Kerry barely mentioned the economy. How is Kerry supposed to complain about the … Continue reading Kerry Admits Bush's Economy is Robust
Cato Critique Misses Mark
I think I like 1/2 the articles at The Cato Institute. Some days they have excellent commentary on politics, other days I wonder if their hats are on too tight. Today was one of those days.In today's "Bush, Kerry, and Partisan Hypocrisy," David Boaz criticizes the hypocrisy of both parties. While I would agree that … Continue reading Cato Critique Misses Mark
Waffles for President
A coordinated Googlebomb has succeeded. A google search for "waffles" points you to the number 1 website for information on waffles: John Kerry's election website.Previous well-known googlebombs were "Weapons of Mass Destruction" which points you to a fictional error page, "The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable," and "miserable failure" which points to … Continue reading Waffles for President
