Saddam responds to U.S. elections

Iraqi president Saddam Hussein reacted to news of American President George W. Bush's GOP party victory in Tuesday's elections, saying that it was a repudiation of the American "cowboy" president's unpopularity. Saddam noted that the GOP had a slim majority in its Senate and House -- whereas the Iraqi democracy showed that Hussein had the […]

Shows you how much pull I have

Final results are in and it looks like it will be an interesting four years in the Grossmont Union High School District. The three nutcases won. I'm not sure how much credit/blame to give the local Republican party, but they're going to have egg on their face. *ON A RELATED NOTE* It appears that the […]

I voted -- have you?

Well, I've successfully cast my largely-meaningless, mostly-Republican ballot in this mostly-Democratic state. There were no real lines to report. No jack-booted thugs at the polls intimidating me. And no one who seemed to have any real problems. The woman in front of me in line was not on the registrar's list. The solution: she was […]

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and his ilk on the left crow about Halliburton, Harken Energy and shady dealings by prominent Republicans that have resulted in financial loss […]

A sad display

Well, the Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone Memorial/Pep Rally was the talk of today's news shows. I didn't watch the entire four hour "service" -- mainly because it wasn't readily accessible on TV. I'm not sure if it aired on CSPAN, but I don't have four hours to spend watching a "memorial." Seriously, has anyone ever […]

Local politics can be nasty too

As evidenced by this race for the San Diego City Council. I don't live in this district, so I won't be voting in this race, but this is certianly a case of dirty politics -- and the innuendo in the mailer is just disgusting.

California Governor's Race

I've been disillusioned by the gubernatorial race here in California. I don't like Gray Davis' pay-to-play fundraising style. The way he mishandled the energy crisis. His collusion with the Democrat-controlled legislature to paper over a $23 billion budget deficit. But Republican candidate Bill Simon hasn't done himself any favors either. His accusation (later proven false) […]

Senate Race Watch

I've had requests for a periodic update on the closely-contested U.S. Senate races, but I've too often had too little time to do all of the research. Fortunately, there's a good summary up at National Review Online. Check it out here.

Bush to promote generic drugs

According to The Washington Post Bush is going to direct the Food and Drug Administration to issue rules allowing for quicker approval of generic drugs. Democrats, however, are skeptical. As word -- but not the details -- of the White House plan began to filter out last night, the association representing generic drug manufacturers said […]
