Last Sunday, the Iraqi national soccer team defeated–astounded is more like it–Saudi Arabia by a score of 1-0, giving the people of this war torn country something it doesn’t get very often: something to smile about.

Please don’t think from my following remarks I’m a Republican apologist. I’m a Democrat whose mother headed the Democratic Women’s Club in Austin, Texas for nearly a decade and whose father worked for LBJ for many years. They were hard line conservatives until the seventies and there was a decided swing left. Hell, I was [...]

From Rush Limbaugh.com…. RUSH: I have a great, great editorial cartoon here. I don’t know who did this, but you’ve seen the painting of the Founding Fathers in Philadelphia at Constitution Hall, drafting the Constitution, discussing it among themselves.

By now nothing that goes on in public schools should surprise me. We live in a through-the-looking-glass world where students are suspended for smoking cigarettes, but can get free condoms from the school nurse, where prayer is not allowed but t-shirts glorifying rap music and its odious messages are commonly worn, and where students graduate [...]

Erika Engle, The Buzz THE call letters KUNT have landed at a yet-unbuilt low-power digital television station in Wailuku, Maui.

This may be THE Flying Pig Moment of 2007. The New York Times has published an editorial by MICHAEL E. O’HANLON and KENNETH M. POLLACK that reflects much of the cautious optimism that we’ve seen since the stabilization of Anbar and the ejection of AQI from Baqubah. Yes, you read that correctly. Here is an [...]

Yesterday’s entry about the claim by liberal blogger Markos Moulitsas that he had forced Lowe’s to abandon their advertising on FNC’s Bill O’Reilly show was proven to be just more hot air from the leftist-sphere. However, a link to Newshounds, provided by n2l, revealed the grand strategy of the left to threaten the advertisers on [...]

A few years ago, Lowe’s built a shiny new store less than a mile from my home. Oh yeah! Nuke’s Toy Store. Heh. Sunday afternoon strolls through the Home Improvement Section, checking out the power tools, shopping for landscaping junk in the Garden Center: Lowe’s is cool.
