A couple weeks back a half-dozen Muslim clerics from the Phoenix area were flying home from a conference in Minnesota. They ended up being pulled off the plane because they forgot the rules of flight club. On a similar note, check out this op-ed piece by Debra Burlingame. These Imams were begging to be kicked […]
Jeff Jarvis thinks even less of Byron Calame's latest column than I did. That's what I call an accomplishment.
U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton has tendered his resignation. First Sen. George "crybaby" Voinovich and then Sen. Lincoln "backstabber" Chafee and their perfidy is to blame for Bolton's exit after the Democrats won control of the Senate last month.
