He’ll be our president, too: the person who gets himself (or, herself) elected, south of the border. For the U.S. president has at least as much power to influence the destiny of every Canadian as any prime minister we elect. Both for those who do, and for those who don’t still think of Canada as a western country, that president is at least the captain of an alliance—formalized in NATO, but informally knitted together with a million historical strings. We can’t vote in U.S. elections, but we reserve the right to comment. And I haven’t been commenting, much, only because...

I was listening to this tonight. A bit of reality, just 60 years ahead of it's time. Ted

Sorry for the vanity... But I've received 3 recorded calls today from Hillery to vote for her in tomorrows Calif primary. As a registered Republican, I've never received calls from Dims to vote. Hillery is: Either is so desperate she is calling Republicans or maybe she thinks that there is so little difference between her and McCain that I might vote for her. :-) Which do you think it is?

Will Sandy Burgler advise the Hillery campaign how to lie, cheat & steal...or did the Clintons teach him how to steal classified documents from the National Archive and lie about it so as to cheat the 911 Commission out of the truth about Bill Clinton's failure to take terrorism seriously? Or do the Clintons fear what Sandy Burgler might say during the campaign, so they are keeping him on a short leash?

Evening News covered Hillery and Obama addressing National Counsel of La Raza (National Counsel of "The Race") in Miami. Breathless Nwespersons called La Raza a "civil rights" group.

NEWTON, Iowa - Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) on Monday said his campaign made a "dumb mistake" when it circulated a memo criticizing rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's financial ties to India. ADVERTISEMENT In an interview with The Associated Press, Obama disavowed the memo which carried the headline — " Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab) — and referred to Bill and Hillary Clintons' investments in India; her fundraising among Indian-Americans; and the former president's $300,000 in speech fees from Cisco, a company that has moved U.S. jobs to India. "It was a dumb mistake on our campaign's part and...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate on Wednesday rejected legislation that would cut off money for combat operations in Iraq after March 31, 2008. The vote was a loss for Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., and other Democrats who want to end the war. But the effort picked up support from members, including presidential hopefuls previously reluctant to limit war funding - an indication of the conflict's unpopularity among voters. The proposal lost 29-67 on a procedural vote, falling 31 votes short of the necessary votes to advance. Of the 67 senators who opposed Feingold's proposal, there were 19 Democrats, 47 Republicans...

Perdictions come true in France.

Well, Hillery wanted to jab Bush for the 500 point fall in the market so she issued a statement to get some face time on TV. We haven't heard one good word in the 5 year run up to record levels in the market, but let it fall 3.5% from it's all time, no doubt about it, never before seen, record high, and it must be Bush's fault. To cut to the chase, she thinks the US should limit how much debt can be owned by foreign governments. I was going to let it slide as just a pollitcal jab...

"Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling,” Geffen said. Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson just released the following statement: "While Senator Obama was denouncing slash and burn politics yesterday, his campaign's finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband. "If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money.

Last night, SNL did a sketch with "Chris Matthews" and Her Thighness.If any one has a video of that, pls. post it.It was spot on and a devastatingly funny send up of Ms Cankles.

Dick Morris's Appeal Persons on Republican mailing lists this week received an appeal for funds from Dick Morris, President Bill Clinton's political strategist in 1995-1996, asking for a contribution between $25 and $100 or more to finance a critical film documentary of Sen. Hillary Clinton. Signing the letter as "Former Clinton Adviser," Morris wrote: "If you liked how the Swift Boat Veterans turned the tide against John Kerry, you understand how a top Clinton aide can turn the tables and stop a Clinton-style liberal from becoming the next president of the United States." Morris's appeal was made through The Presidential...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. confirmed that it has selected a site in upstate New York as the likely location for a $3.2 billion chip factory, though plans to build the plant are not definite. AMD, of Sunnyvale, Calif., now makes all its microprocessors in Dresden, Germany, and hasn't built a new U.S. factory since the late 1990s. Under a non-binding deal with New York officials, the company expects to receive about $900 million in cash incentives from the state, out of total subsidies estimated at $1.2 billion, said Preston Snuggs, AMD's vice president of logic operations. Depending...

We miss the boat if we say it's the agenda of left-wingers and Democrats. According to Marxist doctrine, socialism is a stage of society between capitalism and communism where private ownership and control over property are eliminated. The essence of socialism is the attenuation and ultimate abolition of private property rights. Attacks on private property include, but are not limited to, confiscating the rightful property of one person and...

Let us now contemplate the unthinkable. That in their second attempt to steal an election, the democrats and their syncophants in the press manage to steal this election. What will this mean, for our country, for Iraq, for the war against the fanatic Islamic hegemonists? Kerry has said he will continue the struggle but I for one doubt it, his history argues against it. Will we face increased attacks in this country because of democrat ineptitude, or PC foolishness? And what will this mean for Her Hilleryness, she would perhaps be running against the incumbent of her own party in...

John F'ing Kerry today blamed George W. Bush for the recent Cicada invasion. Kerry Stated: "He knew they were coming and he did nothing. If I were Commander in Chief, I could have and would have stopped the invasion. I actually voted for the invasion before I voted against it." The last FOUR times the Cicadas appeared, there was a republican in The White House. The last time the Cicadas appeared when a democrat was in the White House was in 1936. Proof that it is the Republicans that caused the Cicadas, and they bring them out when convenient to...

No one outstanding in this fieldThe field of candidates is getting crowded with only Dean(14), Lieberman(14), Kerry(13), and Gephardt(13) polling in double digits. And that's among Democrats. ( Quinnipiac University Poll. Sept. 11-15, 2003. N=466 Democratic voters nationwide. MoE ± 4.5.) This was before Wes (is more) Clark got into the race. If Hillary is tossed into the mix, she immediately goes to the head of the class with 45% support with everyone else in single digits. This doesn't mean that any of them poll well when matched against George W. Bush. Why does the number of Democrat candidates continue...

Did Caligula have a God complex?Stanford, Oxford archaeologists find evidence that depraved tyrant annexed sacred temple BY JOHN SANFORD Archaeologists from Stanford, Oxford and the American Institute for Roman Culture have unearthed evidence that Caligula, in an act of astonishing hubris, extended his palace to the podium of a sacrosanct temple. The discovery, made during the final weeks of a month-and-a-half-long dig this summer in the Roman Forum, appears to support accounts by some ancient historians that the profligate but short-lived emperor was a megalomaniac. "It's the equivalent of Queen Elizabeth taking over St. Paul's Cathedral as an anteroom,"...
