You can follow all the news at just about any media site or blog. All I want to add is this: Pray for those injured in the attack and the families of those killed. This was an evil act. Blaming any political party, movement, ideology or individual (other than the shooter himself) for this attack […]
On his last day in office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger abused the power of his office one last time to reward a political crony and undermine justice. On his final night in office, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reduced the prison sentence of the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Esteban Nunez, who had pleaded guilty […]
Texas Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson is corrupt, and voters would do well to kick her out. Sen. Barbara Boxer’s aides are as dumb as she is.
Unbelievable. Embattled Rep. Maxine Waters on Friday blamed the Bush administration for her ethics problems -- saying she had to intervene with the Treasury Department on behalf of minority-owned banks seeking federal bailout funds -- including one tied to her husband -- because the Treasury Department wouldn't schedule its own appointments. Frankly, I’m surprised they’re […]

Some Hollywood types have started a petition (because that’s what they do best) calling for the end of the prosecution of admitted child-rapist Roman Polanski. Here’s the gem of the article from Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein: "Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion," Weinstein said. I guess the “best moral compass” is […]
It was a common refrain during the Bush (43) administration’s second term that he had politicized the Justice Department. The main evidence to back up this charge was the perfectly legal firing of a handful of U.S. Attorneys who serve at the pleasure of the president. The media breathlessly wrote story after story, based on […]
A pro-life activist was shot dead yesterday outside Owosso High School in Owosso, Mich. Prosecutors say the man charged in deaths of an anti-abortion activist and a businessman told them he wanted to kill third person. Harlan Drake, 33, of Owosso, was arraigned this afternoon on two counts of first-degree murder, one count of using […]
Sen. Ted Kennedy was also awarded the Medal of Freedom today. Unfortunately, Kennedy himself could not make it because of complications from the brain tumor he is suffering from. Mary Jo Kopechne did not get a Medal of Freedom and could not be reached for comment.
