Courtesy of Real Clear Politics, here’s a link to a wonderful editorial in Investor’s Business Daily about the kidnapping of the 15 British soldiers.
The editorial suggests that under Winston Churchill, the British would have blown the the Iranian motorboats out of the sea rather than surrender. They wouldn’t have run off to the U.N., [...]
A few days ago, Rosie O’Donnell came out with another of her outrageous views. This time she was alleging some sort of 9/11 conspiracy, suggesting U.S. government involvement.
“I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World [...]
I wrote a post months ago, before the election about the Democrats stealth plan to take over the White House and make Pelosi president. She’s 3rd in line for the presidency now, behind Bush and Cheney. And she’s proving that she wants to assume the responsibilities of the President. First we saw [...]
Kathy wrote the other day about Accountability Returning to Congress. She reported on the NRCC plans to go after the freshmen blue dog democrats who have broken their election promises.
I received the e-mail from the NRCC with a link to their site, The Real Democrat Story. There are links to sites [...]
I need humor right now.
Since Sunday is a good day for pranks and jokes, I thought I’d throw out some of my favorite Star Wars funnies.
Put down your choice of beverage NOW.

My younger son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes this morning. I’ve got a couple of things ready to post over the next few days, but things will be light from me for a while until he’s out of the hospital and we’re settled into a new routine.
Update 10 p.m. – Thanks all for the prayers [...]
My sister sent me the link to this series of photos about a sailor surprising his son at school. It’s hard to look at the photos without tearing up. God bless our military and their families.

Smoking is out but dogs are in. But what if your dog smokes?
Am I alone here or do I think restaurants should be allowed to make these decisions for themselves? I’m a smoke hater and and dog lover, but this is taking the power of government into the heads of people. We don’t need Big [...]
I’m waiting for the NY Slimes to do the hit piece on Hillary Clinton. That would illustrate that they are truly being fair and objective. Today, they have gone after Rudy Giuliani yet again, Testimony by Giuliani Indicates He Was Briefed on Kerik in ’00.
This time the Slimes is reminding us [...]
Imagine how Democrats would holler if a Republican stood over a new registered voter and pressured him to list his party affiliation as being with the GOP. But that’s exactly what Democrats are advocating with their approval of Card Check legislation which would eliminate secret ballots for union organizing efforts. Deroy Murdock wrote [...]
From AB Stoddard’s The Power Has Shifted in The Hill:
The surprise Senate vote last night, to approve a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq, delivered to the Democrats what they had hoped for all along but had been unable to grasp. Less than a week ago it seemed the majority couldn’t possibly forge the impossible coalition [...]
More Fred Thompson (on Paul Harvey) via NRO:
You might have heard about the lawsuit brought by a radical Islamic advocacy group against passengers on a U.S. Airways flight. Their offense was reporting suspicious behavior to the flight crew. According to reports, six Muslim men took up positions inside the plane similar to those taken by [...]
Lanny Davis in The Hill’s Pundit Blog on Fred Thompson:
So let me just limit my positive comments by saying: He is authentic and powerfully smart and very fair.
I hope he isn’t the GOP nominee because he would be very difficult to beat — although my candidate, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), and he, if they [...]
First Lady Laura Bush was in Chicago Thursday to encourage CeaseFire, a foundation that has been successful battling gang violence:
Started in 2000 by epidemiologist Gary Slutkin, the program employs longtime residents of high-crime neighborhoods, often ex-convicts, as outreach workers. They canvass neighborhoods, resolve potentially violent conflicts and encourage people to accept alternatives to violence.
In creating [...]
Reader, Caleb, has shared with me some correspondence he has received about the impact of “the surge” and General Petraeus in Iraq. Caleb agreed to write a guest post about this. This is something that you will not hear from the MSM because to find out what is really going on in Iraq [...]
