Sen. Barack Obama has tapped Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate. National Review's Jim Geraghty has some inconvenient quotes. On McCain: Biden, on a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007: “The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.” Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005: “John […]
I watched some more Olympic boxing last night and it further confirmed my disdain for the system. The bout I watched was the light flyweight bout between Irishman Paddy Barnes and Zou Shiming of China. When all was said and done, Shiming had won 15-0. I'm not going to say Shiming lost -- I'm honestly […]
Maj. Ed Freeman died this week at the age of 80. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his daring flying in the Ia Drang Valley as recounted in the book and movie "We Were Soldiers." Read journalist Joe Galloway's remembrance here.
Seriously. Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business you're starting to think, […]
This one's gonna leave a mark. Obama's apologists will decry this linkage of him with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. But just imagine what these same apologists would say if any Republican had a similar relationship with abortion clinic bombers.
It should come as little surprise that societies that value women little, value children even less. However, this story about a father acting like a father -- and getting almost universal condemnation for it, should provide a modicum of hope. KAOLACK, Senegal (AP) - It hurts too much to lie on his back, so the […]
I'm not saying that this phrasing is spreading through the blogosphere because I was among the first to argue for it, but it is spreading. Hotair: Obama's support for infanticide breaks into mainstream media Confederate Yankee: Obama Lashes Out Over Infanticide Charges, Hides Behind His Daughters We also have what is purported to be an […]
Sometime back, a scientist suggested that one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent global warming would be to toss a bunch of sulfur into the air. The sulfur would reflect solar rays -- and therefore heat -- back into the atmosphere. You do enough of it, and the Earth would cool. This was tested […]
Sen. Barack Obama first let the mask slip about what his opinion on the role of taxes in America was at the infamous ABC News debate that had the nutroots claiming that Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous were GOP plants. A quick refresher for those of you who don't remember it: MR. GIBSON: Senator Obama, […]
I've mentioned before that Sen. Barack Obama's vote to kill (excuse the pun) a bill that would affirm that babies born alive deserve medical treatment -- even if they happen to have survived a botched abortion. I've also tried to make the case that this incident really shouldn't be classified as an "abortion" vote. The […]
