RNC takes a stand

From the Washington Times… Republicans criticize bailout-mania… “We can’t be a party of small government, free markets and low taxes while supporting bailouts and nationalizing industries, which lead to big government, socialism and high taxes at the expense of individual liberty and freedoms,” said Solomon Yue, a cosponsor of a resolution that would put the [...]

War in Gaza

Israel has had enough. The IDF has attacked Hamas installations in Gaza in a well-executed series of air strikes. Over 200 deaths are reported. Carl in Jerusalem has more: The IDF began its long-awaited attack on Hamas-controlled Gaza at 11:30 AM Saturday, and according to initial reports managed to catch Hamas off-guard, after deliberately sending [...]

Friday Linkfest

In the town of Nazareth, muslims have erected a banner at the entrance of the plaza in front of the Basilica of the Annunciation. The banner declares that allah had no son. “He begetteth not nor was he begotten.” link I couldn’t agree more. There is absolutely nothing about islam that is comparable to Jesus [...]

Holiday Greetings From Fred Thompson

Asking Washington to exist with less of our money, is like asking a dog to not sniff butts. It’s not in their nature. h/t NBRA

Obama:Time’s Man Of The Year?

Really? This guy? I need not delve into their justification for selecting this stoner. I’m certain it is because he is the first biracial PEOTUS, and not because he is the least experienced, least known candidate in the history of this country. Spleef on, B-HO. Your Lapdog loves you.

Heisman Exit Poll:Sam Bradford

*UPDATE* Sam Bradford Wins The Heisman Trophy I know what you are thinking. An exit poll? For the Heisman Trophy? I was a little shocked to see it too, but here it is, a sample of one hundred of the more than nine hundred who cast ballots. The winner: Sam Bradford. The Oklahoma quarterback received [...]

Auto bailout hits snag

Isn’t it interesting to hear democrat leaders and UAW reps come out and blame the republicans for the failure to pass the bailout? There are reportedly a dozen or so republican senators who have agreed to support the bill. Since the dems have the majority, shouldn’t their caucus plus the dozen republicans be enough to [...]

Friday reading

Friday Reading assignment, courtesy of boortz.com Why won’t Rahm talk? Do you think we’re going to find out that he was the go-between between PEBO and Governor Blog? Are you going to mourn the loss of your local newspaper? You should .. but the answer is probably not. Congress has cut the pay for the [...]

Snow Day! Open thread

There’s several inches of snow on the ground, and the winter storm shows no signs of letting up soon. So, off goes the coat and tie.  Time to settle back into some comfy clothes and enjoy a rare Dixie snow day!

Pearl Harbor Day

Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government [...]

WTF Open Thread

2008. The year of WTF. People behaving out of character. A realignment on the political Right. The attempt to marginalize Christians. Weird, strange, unpredictable stuff. I can’t think of a better way to describe it than “WTF.” First up, articles from NRO, Times Online, and JihadWatch. Writing at NRO, Mark Steyn takes issue with those [...]

A ‘God Moment’ In Mumbia’s Oberoi Hotel!

Two gentlemen I know, one is the elderly father, the other his son, returned from their trip to Mumbia(Bombay) India, late Monday afternoon. I should add, two very happy men full of joy returned home, to be met by very thankful family and friends. I will relate, briefly, part of their story from the terrorist [...]
