Well, I usually read Ann Landers and Dear Abby daily for a good laugh. A vast majority of the people who write in for advice lack the common sense God gave most people, it's amusing, but it's also good that there's someone with a lot of horse sense available for the wisdom-challenged. Ann and I […]
Well, I know how to program a VCR...I just can't seem to do it right. After spending the evening marking my friend Laura Little's imminent achievement of the quarter-century mark, I came home to watch the SDSU vs. UNLV mens basketball game. Which I had taped -- or so I believed. Turns out, instead of […]
Margaret Carlson is either lazy or a liar. On CNN's "Capitol Gang" the Time magazine columnist made the outrageous claim that, though Enron did not get bailed out, they got everything they wanted up to that point. A few minutes later Robert Novak corrected her. If you missed it, I already went through what Enron […]
An article in today's Washington Post says that Secretary of State Colin Powell is urging the president to classify the captured Taliban and al Qaeda prisoners as "prisoners of war." The al Qaeda and Taliban fighters that are being held in Afghanistan and Camp X-Ray are currently classified (accurately) as "unlawful combatants." They earned this […]
Degrading the language: On Foxnews this morning, a former Enron employee/investor claimed that she was a victim of "corporate terrorism." Let's reserve the use of the term terrorism for acts that physically maim or kill people. Tacking terrorism onto the Enron failure is silly. Also, let's please not use Enron as a verb.
In an op-ed piece in the New York Post, the American Enterprise Institute's John R. Lott takes aim at the major media and their treatment of guns. At last week's shooting at the Appalachian Law School, the shooter was subdued by students after killing the dean of the law school and two other people. What […]
It's a little bit like deciding whether or not to give your kid sister a ride to the movies. I mean, you're going to go anyway, but do you really want to have that annoying, whining little brat with you? Well, the U.S. has the same problem. The kid sister is Canada, and the movies […]
Well, it's been called the Anti-Christian Liberal Union, but the ACLU had really outdone itself this time. Foxnews reported on its Web site earlier this week that the ACLU has said it would file a lawsuit against the mayor of Inglis, Fla. (population 1,400) if a proclamation banning Satan from the town limits isn't removed […]
Good news on a story I told you about earlier. The Pentagon has finally relented on its silly dress code for women troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. Seven years after the Air Force's top-ranked female fighter pilot began a one-woman crusade, the Defense Department yesterday dropped its requirement that female military personnel in Saudi Arabia […]
I'm listening to my recording of Alan Keyes new show. It's not the greatest, but it certainly shows promise. As I've said before, Keyes is probably one of the best speakers in America today. I must admit that I was amused by Keyes segment tonight where he talks with "ordinary people, just like you." He […]
