The Summer of 1969. I was 14 years old, and didn’t care much for anything except football, baseball, and basketball. Naturally, their relative importance varied with the calendar.

In fact, AP writer Julie Davis describes it as, “Sotomayor pushes back hard.” Isn’t that special? Sotomayor even told the Senators that she is no gun-grabbing extremist, adding that “one of her godchildren is a member of the National Rifle Association and she has friends who hunt.” That should satisfy even the most hard-core, bitter-clingers.

From The Freedom Post, this video is called the ad that is “driving liberals nuts.” I think they are being kind. To me, it is the ad that will make them even nuttier, if they see it. The current administration likened to that of the Islamic Republic of Iran? That’s going to leave a mark. [...]

Not exactly a warm welcome for Obama. more about “Obama Snubbed By Russian Diplomats Vi…“, posted with vodpod What worries me about this video is Obama himself.

(forwarded from Brenda) Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grand motherly, elderly woman to the stand.

Welcome readers from Free Republic! The Gawker is reporting that reporters from “roughly 30 television networks, newspapers, magazines, and web sites celebrated the Fourth of July with Barack Obama at the White House…” Nothing wrong with that.

Over many years of studying the U.S. constitution, as well as the Federalist Papers, I have sat in silent awe at the brilliance and foresightedness of our nations Founding Fathers. On many occasions, I have attributed their presence, and wisdom, to the possibility that they were actually aliens from another world, or possibly time travelers. [...]

It has now been over 1600 days since John F. Kerry promised to release his 180. Still no 180. I imagine you’ll see Wrong-way Obama’s birth certificate before you see Kerry’s 180. But, frankly, who gives a sh*t about John F. Kerry? I mean, really! What an inconsequential boob. So inconsequential, in fact, that I [...]
