As every election nears, pollsters often ask what are the most pressing issues facing the nation. The list usually contains five or six issues that get a substantial response. This year I'm sure the list will include: Iraq, terrorism, the economy, immigration, medical costs, Social Security, energy (oil) prices. You can probably come up with […]
There's an old saying that goes something along the lines that you shouldn't wrestle with pigs because all that ends up happening is you get dirty -- and the pig likes it. Taking that into account, I'm going to keep my comments on the post below to a minimum and here's the minimum. First, it's […]
Today we're going to point and laugh at Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Obama, like many on the left, is all for having people drive more fuel efficient cars -- of course, "senators" are not "people" -- they're better than people.
