Stinkers of the Day

Posted on November 15, 2006 by marc

O.J. Simpson’s New Book “If I Did It” may be the truest thing the smug bastard’s said in years.  Can’t wait to not read it! On a personal note, I got some benefit out of the case – it taught me what it really means to be a racial bigot.  In those days I worked…

Illegal Immigration, Again

Posted on November 14, 2006January 18, 2007 by marc

In a move worthy of the best political spin artists, illegal Elvira Arellano apparently sent her 7 year-old son to Mexico City so he could beg the Mexican Congress to try to keep her from being deported from the U.S. Incredible. It’s truly moving how desperate some of these people are to stay in this…

Troop Levels in Iraq

Posted on November 14, 2006 by marc

Michael Gordon’s interview is a must-hear.  The summary?  We need more troops on the ground and we’ll be there for years if we don’t do something irresponsible like bolt in a Democratic panic. Recent events like the daylight kidnapping of Ministry of Higher Ed employees demonstrate the scarcity and competency of police resources.  Most or…

Kidney Bizarre

Posted on November 13, 2006 by marc

Or is that bazaar? Intrigingly, I didn’t see any mention of these being the fault of the demonic, anti-Islamic American regime of Satan.  Perhaps the AP filtered that bit out to keep my head from spinning ’round.  Or perhaps the Pakistanis realize it’s a home-grown problem. Is it true that in the once-and-future home of…

Where Are Schoolboy Sex Offenders?

Posted on November 12, 2006 by marc

The Houston Chronicle says that “no single authority knows how many registered sex offenders are high school students”. At least some of them are re-offending, of course, as discussed last month.  Is the fact that these creeps aren’t on peoples’ radars screen due to government incompetence, the default, or because of juvenile shielding? Shari Julian,…

Life Under Democrats

Posted on November 9, 2006 by marc

Let’s hope the Washington Post is right about Rahm Emanuel and his influence: Top Democrats such as Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) see these middle-of-the-road lawmakers as the future of the party in a nation that leans slightly right of center.In private talks before the election, Emanuel and other top Democrats told their members they cannot…

Bush (41) vs. Bush (43)

Posted on November 9, 2006 by marc

David Broussard writes, regarding the situation in Iraq, that: How would things have been different in 1991 if President Bush (41) had decided to “stay the course” and “finish the job” and rolled the 600K coalition troops right into Baghdad?  We will never know for certain. Likely we would have spent years rebuilding the country,…

A Full Dem Congress

Posted on November 8, 2006 by marc

Even yesterday I thought this was impossible; today it seems inevitable.  The change is exciting.  And scary.  What are they going to do?  Not much, probably.  In ’92 the Gingrich Revolution fizzled into nothingness.  This year’s Pelosi Parade will probably do the same.  But not until W gets his face rubbed in a dish of…
