Princess Diana — 10 years later

Not being much of a royals watcher it is still hard to ignore that today is the 10th year anniversary of Princes Diana’s death. Several years prior my wife and I watched in awe of the splendor and pageantry of her royal wedding ceremony. Since then I am not sure if it was [...]

Edwards is coming up lame again

Presidential candidate John Edwards once again lives up to his potential as an expert politician.  The fundamental qualification for any political office is do as I say but not as I do.  Remember that politicians do not have to live up to the same expectations that we commoners have to… they live by a freshly [...]

Craig gets caught in a tidy-bowl

Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) claims now that after being arrested and having his day in court and pleading guilty to a charge of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, that he was “miscontrued” as it related to his actions in a men’s restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Reading what went on in that restroom is basically a [...]

Alberto Gonzalez Resigns

All along I have thought that the witch-hunt against Gonzales regarding the attorney firing flap was much ado about nothing. Just another attempt by some of Bush’s worst critics trying to create trouble where there wasn’t any. Some people are just not satisfied and will throw a tantrum if possible to get their [...]

Non-(F)lying imams drop “John Doe” suit against passengers

I wish we could drop them on their turbans… this was a ridiculous suit to begin with… from the Washington Times:

Is this a Katrina flashback?

Within the past few days it seems like a fire is beginning to catch under Mine Safety and Health Administration’s Richard Stickler over his competence in handling that agency. This brings us to mind the fiasco that surrounded Michael Brown who headed FEMA during Hurricane Katrina.
We know from past experiences that there [...]

Once the wagon starts rolling everyone wants to get on

As an update to my post of yesterday and since other members of Congress have spoken out, it now seems that Hillary Clinton wants to admit that the troop surge is starting to work.
New military tactics in Iraq are working but the best way to honor U.S. soldiers is “by beginning to bring them home,” [...]

They are beginning to wake up… slowly… but surely

It has taken forever for Congress to see the light… but today they finally admitted that President Bush’s troop surge has “produced tangible results in making several areas of the capital more secure.” Both Senators Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Sen. John Warner of Virginia, the Republican member, released [...]

The ultimate ‘no win’ situation

This is a very sad situation that I had hoped would not happen… but it did.  Those six trapped miners may never be found according to a FoxNews article.  It seems the mining company is not going to continue searching for the trapped miners after not finding breathable oxygen in the fourth hole.
The mining company [...]

The answer to illegals being seperated from their children

Don’t want to take the chance of separating yourself from your family? Then don’t come into the U.S. illegally. Pretty simple and straightforward. No-brainer.  I really cannot understand what all the fuss is about.
Elvira Arellano was arrested Sunday afternoon outside Our Lady Queen of Angels church in Los Angeles. She was deported [...]
