Like all good PR campaigns that are meant to create a mob-mentality approach, the sound bite is employed to make a complex issue seem so simple – even a caveman could do it. The truth is, sound bites are usually misleading or out and out lies. Seems we have been lied to – we can’t […]

Dafydd over at Big Lizards is trying to save the GOP from the fallout of its disaster on the immigration bill. Laudable idea. Completely useless though. This is what Hispanics hears plenty of over the last couple of months from the underbelly of the GOP: I’m with you. Round them ALL up and toss their […]

Our nation is being led by a lousy bunch of power hungry idiots. Somehow America has allowed our meddling news media to make running for office so arduous the best among us are not participating, leaving us with hypochondriacs and obsesive-compulsives. The DC swamp (and the surrounding news media) are in full summer stench. The […]

The Surge has completed much of its first phase objectives – to clear key areas of al-Qaeda. Anbar Province has remained quiet as Diyala Province, especially its capitol city Baquoba, is in the last stages of clearing out al-Qaeda: With almost no hostile fire reported in days, combat operations are winding down.

It seems President Ahmedinejad and his littel Napolean complex may have screwed up royally, unless Iran has a fleet of nuclear powered cars hanging around somewhere: Unrest spread in Tehran on Thursday, the second day of gasoline rationing in oil-rich Iran, with drivers lining up for miles, gas stations being set on fire and state-run […]

The explosives – […]

I was in meetings all day, but I suspected the vote would not make it based on some early morning indications. I will be looking at the votes but it would seem more far left and far right folks moved to leave us in the same mess we have had for 20+ years. Well, there […]

There is a lot of speculation running out there that the immigration bill will fail its cloture vote test this morning. Clearly it will be close. But I think there are enough GOP members who honor the process of democracy more than winning on one issue. After years of bitching and moaning about how all […]

Mac Ranger has the great news out of Texas that another power-abusing prosecutor has lost his bid to harrass a law abiding citizen. I am with Mac – time to do a ‘Nifong’ on Ronnie Earl. After that we move onto Patrick Fitzgerald and Comey who jailed journalists even though THEY KNEW who had committed […]

al-Qaeda continues to take a beating in Iraq and incompetence is starting to show in their actions, meaning al-Qaeda must be scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of fighters and strategists: Killings, kidnaps and arrests marked a new bloody day in conflict-torn Iraq on Wednesday, with at least three Iraqis killed and 10 […]
