One of the latest Democrat Party complaints is that President Bush is in league with "Big Business" to secretly smuggle manufacturing jobs out of the United States. The basis of this charge is comments earlier this month by Gregory Mankiw that outsourcing certain jobs overseas is good for the economy in the long run. This […]
I don't much like columnist Ann Coulter. Sorry, I know a lot of people think she's great, but her hyperbolic rhetoric makes her little more than a conservative bomb-thrower. She is to the right what the New York Times Maureen Dowd is to the left. Having put that extended disclaimer on the record, this column […]
I just got done reading a little recounting of a hysterical post by Eric "What Liberal Media" Alterman over at RealClearPolitics and just had to point one thing out. This is delusional in the extreme. "Sensible" people have "only one hope"? Liberals bemoan the fact that Bush has used fear to divide the country since […]
South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle isn't a fool. The senior senator is running for re-election in a state President Bush easily carried in 2000 and he doesn't want to become a victim of Bush's coattails in 2004. Daschle told state chamber of commerce representatives meeting in the South Dakota capital that he is satisfied with […]
President Bush yesterday gave a recess appointment to Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor to the federal appeals court. Pryor is the second federal judge (the first was Charles Pickering) Bush has given a recess appointment in response to an illegal Democrat filibuster. The first Times article, which appeared yesterday on the Web site, curiously contains […]
Dean is done. Of course, Dean was done after he got his butt kicked in both Iowa and New Hampshire -- he just didn't know it. The Dean campaign's biggest problem all along wasn't anything they could do anything about -- you can't fire the candidate. Today's New York Times reports that one of Howard […]
Fox News' "Special Report with Brit Hume" did a little report on the swank Georgetown digs that Democrat Senators John Kerry and John Edwards live in (Edwards owns his; Kerry's wife, Madame Ketchup owns the other). Both of the homes are more than 100 years old and each is worth north of $3 million. So, […]
John Edwards made a strong enough showing yesterday to effectively make it a two man race with Sen. John Kerry. Edwards still has a lot of work to do, but it appears as though March 2 will be the date we finally find out for sure who the Democrats' nominee will be. Kerry is still […]
I mentioned an article on the BBC's Web site earlier this week that contained a quote by a Washington Post writer by the name of Glenn Frankel. Frankel asserted that proof of Kerry philandering wouldn't suprise anyone and the Post wouldn't run with the story even if they had photos to prove it. Well, it's […]
I mentioned earlier this week the crippling effect a proclivity to philander can have in a president. My thoughts along that line regarding former President Bill Clinton focused on the events which occurred in his second term. But Slate's Mickey Kaus observes that Clinton's "bimbo eruptions" also affected his first term and possibly had an […]
