Sen. John McCain won the Florida primary Tuesday by almost five points. Following wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, McCain has definitely become the GOP frontrunner. If the rumors of a Giuliani endorsement prove true, then McCain will likely be the GOP nominee. Color me unenthusiastic. Should McCain become the nominee, then I'll hold […]

Berkeley, Calif., is the epicenter of blame- and hate-American first nuttiness. They are a self-righteous people who have nothing to be self-righteous about. Case in point: Some Berkeley residents want military recruitment offices to have the same limitations on where they can be located as porn shops. That's right: Military=Strip Clubs. If passed by a […]

Another thing on Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' speech was an admission that the Republicans have been right all along on the Democratic Congress' motives in expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

Tom Firey over at the Cato Institute took a look at Paul Krugman's Monday column and compared Krugman's so-called "factual" statements with the actual facts. Krugman doesn't come out looking good on several counts. First, in what appears to be the norm for employees of The New York Times, Krugman addresses Reagan-era economic policies without […]

Just about everyone except the Fidel Castro-loving leftists in Hollywood know what Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is all about. Today there's more evidence of how communism "works" -- food shortages due to price controls and the government seizure of private property. Venezuela's top food company has accused troops of illegally seizing more than 500 tonnes of […]
