For a second, I thought I was reading a story about the history of the Soviet Union. But then, I realized quickly that this happened today – Russia! If you don’t believe me, see the pictures for yourself: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080509113625.2fytcrew&show_article=1 What else is “new” in Russia? Well, President Dmitry Medvedev just took office, following in the […]

My friend Jonathan Williams at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) recently wrote an article that I finally picked up and read today, about how “Big Government Profits Most From Gasoline.” Lately, we are all hurting at the pump, and there are many reasons. Everyone is quick to blame the oil companies, especially when reports […]

In today’s “Best of the Web” on the Wall Street Journal‘s Opinion page, James Taranto wrtes a letter to Hillary Clinton, urging her to stay in the race. “Don’t Let it End,” he says. I agree and this article is great, espcially for nuggets of gold like this: “These chauvinists think that they can “signal, […]

Will Okun is a Chicago high school teacher whose column about his inner-city school appears regularly in the New York Times.

Part of me is also beginning to think Obama will be “easier to beat” in the general election. Think about it. He got trounced in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Trounced. If a Democrat […]

“I’ve got two daughters – nine years old and six years old – I’m going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of sixteen.” – Barack Obama, […]

Is Hillary Clinton really an Obama girl? The real Obama girl is back. She tells us that she “was there [with Obama] back in June, when it wasn’t the cool thing to do…” Now, she’s back… and she can’t believe Hillary is “still in it.” Her advice to Hillary: it’s time to get out of […]

I will applaud Senator McCain’s efforts to want to “repair” America’s image abroad and to work more closely with our allies. But, I am distressed that he wants to not lead our “allies,” but cater to them . He seems to already be doing this on global warming. Even his own website touts the fact […]

As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following statistics: The annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006: 1980 ………. 2,392 (Carter Year)1981 ……… 2,380 (Reagan Year)1984 …….. 1,999 (Reagan Year)1988 ………. 1,819 (Reagan Year)1989 ………. 1,636 (George […]
