Castro: So, Um, The Cuban Model Doesn’t Work
Funny story, really. It turns out that Communism still doesn’t work. So much for fifty-one years of oppression and degrading lifestyle conditions. His bad. But during the generally lighthearted conversation (we had just spent three hours talking about Iran and the Middle East), I asked him if he believed the Cuban model was still something [...]
Most Americans Name Just Five Countries That Should Be Defended Militarily
8. September 2010
Most Americans name just five countries they believe deserve military protection from the United States. Just like last year, Canada leads the list of 18 countries regularly in the news when Americans are asked whether the United States should provide military assistance to that country if it is attacked. The other four – in order [...]
Seriously: Obama Names “Asian carp czar”
8. September 2010
The federal government has become too large when we have czars for a specific species of fish, folks. The White House has tapped a former leader of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Wildlife Federation as the Asian carp czar to oversee the federal response to keeping the invasive species out of [...]
Obama: Prepare For Huge Tax Increases
7. September 2010
He won’t extend the Bush tax cuts, which puts him against just a small fraction of people in-the-know. Like economists, businessmen, multiple Democratic Senators and Congressmen, the Republican caucus, and his own former budget director. Basically he’s in line with Nancy Pelosi and few others. What does all of this mean? The wealthiest of Americans, [...]
House Democrat Won’t Allow Cameras At Debate
7. September 2010
Congressman John Spratt (D-SC) would only agree to debate his Republican challenger if no video or audio recording of the event would take place. Apparently Spratt, one of Nancy Pelosi’s allies in South Carolina, doesn’t want his performance used against him in the fall campaign. The even is already sold out, so only those who [...]
Religion of Peace In My Comment Section
6. September 2010
On Friday I posted about a prominent Australian Muslim leader who is now calling for the beheading of politicians who criticize Islam, including Geert Wilders of the Netherlands. Here’s one response I received from a Muslim commenter in my comment section: Feiz doesn’t seem to be a very peaceful Muslim… but wilders isn’t peaceful either… [...]
Obama Calls For Another $50 Billion Stimulus Package
6. September 2010
He just can’t recognize that his Keynesian economic policies failed spectacularly and move on to something more effective. He has to keep throwing money on the fire, hoping the problem will go away if enough of it burns, results of the past be damned. WASHINGTON (AP) – Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the [...]
Best Wishes to Tommy Christopher
5. September 2010
I can’t recall the last time I agreed with Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher on anything political but I’ve always respected him. He’s a good guy who just happens to be on the other side of the political aisle. Well, this evening he suffered what appears to have been a significant heart attack, leading to emergency heart [...]
The Fighting Continues: U.S. Troops Battle Insurgents In Baghdad
5. September 2010
Despite a formal end to combat operations in Iraq, American troops are battling heavily-armed insurgents in Baghdad. The insurgents had attacked an Iraqi military headquarters building in the city’s center. Twelve people were killed. Sunday’s hour-long assault was the second in as many weeks on the facility, the headquarters for the Iraqi Army’s 11th Division, [...]
Report: Iran Paying Taliban For Every American Soldier Killed
5. September 2010
But now wait a moment. We’ve been told time and time again that it’s simply silly to suggest that Shiite and Sunni factions would unite behind a common cause of killing Americans. In fact, John McCain was mocked by the left for suggesting that Al Qaeda and Iran had formed a union of convenience. The [...]
