Last night I was watching television with my five year old. She likes watching a children's cartoon channel called Noggin. Now here's the part that will really make you want to throw up: They have on this channel a poem dedidated to our "Dear Leader"--BHO. The poem tells BHO likes to read to his daughters, cook, etc. It is quite disgusting. I never saw such a thing during any previous administration, Democrat or Republican. I think the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels would blush with envy if he saw the way the media shamelessly promotes BHO. You can check out...

BREAKING NEWS: Appeals court overturns ruling that would have transfered 17 Guantanamo Bay detainees to US.

Boyd attempted to drive through a Border Patrol security check in Willcox, court documents revealed, according to KVOA-TV in Phoenix.

The criminal complaint obtained by KVOA states, "At the primary inspection area, a Border Patrol K-9 alerted to the possible presence of illegal aliens in the bed of the truck.

In what may be the biggest understatement since "Houston, we've had a problem" echoed through the cosmos 38 years ago, a Sauk Rapids man said today from his hospital bed that he's lucky to be alive after being struck by a freight train. Christopher Gilhoi, 30, was lying between the tracks when the train, "traveling slower than usual," ran over him Saturday night as he walked home from an evening at the bar with friends. Gilhoi said he remembers almost nothing from the incident, chalking up his foggy memory to the concussion he suffered and being "relatively drunk" at the...

I was going to put on the gas mask and pull the lever for McCain this November but events of the past few days have led me not to vote for him. 1: McCain speaking at the racist, reconquista La Raza conference. 2: McCain still opposed to drilling in ANWR and comparing it to drilling in the Grand Canyon despite $4 + and climbing gas prices. Accoring to NRO Corner when asked about this he seemed peeved someone would have the audacity to ask him that question. 3: McCain giving veto power to coastal states on offshore drilling. The US...

JERUSALEM - The U.S. has reinstated the Fulbright scholarships of seven Gaza Strip students blocked by Israel from leaving the Hamas-ruled territory, according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press. The students were informed Thursday that their scholarships for the upcoming academic year would be deferred because they couldn't get out of Gaza, which Israel blockaded after Islamic Hamas militants seized power a year ago. A letter dated Sunday from the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem said officials were working to secure exit permits so the students could continue the visa and university placement process. "We are working very closely...

Mitt believers, is that headache you have just the hangover from last nights celebration or is it today's polls! The "gold standard" poll of the Des Moines Register has Huck with a 6 point lead with two days to go! Today's Zogby daily tracking poll has Huck building a lead for the past few days. Huckabee has the "big mo".

I know I'm going to be flamed and elections are still a year and a half away but the momentum seems to be favoring Hilary as the next POTUS. The sooner Republicans and conservatives accept the fact President Bush and the congressional Republicans have so enraged their base and independents that the Democratic Party will gain even stronger control over the congress and will take back the White House in the 2008 elections. What is to blame for the collapse of the Republican dominance over the US? Corruption, arrogant refusal to heed the wishes of the public (especially on immigration...

Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home — and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor. Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, particularly recalls the time neighbor Monty Johnson brought out a gun while chasing workers investigating a right of way off his property. The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person. "I wouldn't be nice to him anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who when he doesn't...

The 1990-2006 War in Iraq might soon be over. The head of the British Army is calling for the removal of his nation’s troops. Other members of the Coalition of the Willing are preparing to leave this year as well. The Iraq Studies Group headed by former Secretary of State Baker is putting together a report to be released in December, and it will either suggest pulling American forces out of the fight and positioning them along the border of Iraq or pulling out all together. Even the Iraqi government is working to divide the nation politically along ethnic lines...

America : How Much is a Billion? A Billion!!!!! Here's some thought provoking information - The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money . A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases . . . A billion seconds ago it was 1959... A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive... A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet... A...

Rather hillarious the level of obliviousness. And odd to see the Israeli troops eating popsicles.

So the current buzz is stating that the Democrats are finally waking up to what we've known since 1993: Hillary is a disaster waiting to happen. And who are they increasingly looking to as their savior? Why, Al Gore of course! This leads me to ask a simple question, just for fun: Which is the greater evil: Hillary or Al Gore? Which one would scare you more if they made it to the White House?

Mexican Standoff I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations. I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me...

Ok friends, It seems I've irked a Muslim in Britain with one of my postings somewhere. I received quite a scolding via e-mail from a gentleman who is certain the media distorts the truth about Islam, Muslims, etc... After reading through the rant, I thought it would be a great opportunity to see if I could actually have a dialog about the wonderful "Religion of Peace" (this, after reading about how I'll think differently once they come for me). Instead of a flame war with him, I'm going to actually see if he has any answers about some things in...
