Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold has been mentioned as a possible Democrat contender for the presidency in 2008 -- if only for the fact that just about every senator looks in the mirror each morning and sees a future president. If that's the case, Feingold must've been attempting to woo the Bush Derangement Syndrome-suffering base of […]
One of the logical necessities of the pro-choice movement is the de-humanification of the human fetus. A lot of moral angst and philosophical difficulties can be assuaged if a fetus is, as pro-choice advocates claim, nothing more than a clump of tissues. But is the view that a fetus is human and may experience what […]
Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was found dead in his cell earlier today. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The point I wanted to make in regard to this was how the international "justice" system works -- or rather, how it doesn't. Slobodan Milosevic has been on trial since February 2002, defending himself against 66 counts […]
A men's rights group has filed a lawsuit in federal court to exempt a father from having to make child-support payments for a kid he doesn't want. Personally, I find the idea that a man can just abandon his kid distasteful and outrageous, but this is what the feminist movement has brought us to, because […]
So Dubai Ports World has decided to save President Bush and themselves a lot of political angst by transferring the management duties for six U.S. ports to a U.S. company. If that company ends up being Halliburton, it will spawn conspiracy theories among the moonbat left for the rest of the century. Now if only […]
Needless to say that I didn't get up early this morning to watch NBC's "Today" show with Colorado teacher Jay Bennish (transcript here). However, I am somewhat sympathetic to this analysis of host Matt Lauer's questioning of Bennish. Lauer: "They shopped it around to conservative media outlets and finally released it to one and created […]
The Campaign to Defend the Constitution (except that whole freedom of religion thing) -- a liberal "grassroots" group is taking out ads linking Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Ralph Reed and Traditioanl Values Coalition Chairman Rev. Lou Sheldon to convicted felon Jack Abramoff. "We're trying to get the message out that things […]
My main criteria for convicted Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham's successor is twofold: I want him/her to keep their trousers buckled and keep their hands in their own pockets. I've been getting a plethora of campaign mailers over the past month and hae been mostly disinterested in them. Many candidates are running either on their biography […]
One would hope that the sad silliness that has become Cindy Sheehan's life would be close to disappearing from the public eye. The anti-Semitic nitwit got arrested once more to make a silly, empty point. Women Say No to War, which helped organize the news conference and march, said Sheehan and three other women were […]
I'm not watching them, though I did briefly find myself catching a glimpse when I flipped by and thought I had found a Wallace & Gromit cartoon to watch. It turns out it was the Academy Awards and I kept watching long enough to see Reese Witherspoon (hubba, hubba) announce that Wallace & Gromit had […]
