Matt's going to be visiting his top four choices' home towns and families and we'll have all the scoop. Beginning with one of the most unattractive mothers of the would-be bride...EVER! All with pics and video you'll find nowhere else...

It’s not news that Hillary Clinton has a bad taste in fashion, and many have blamed her for an absence of any sense of style. Hillary simply doesn’t care and continues to terrify us with totally unflattering blazers and pants. To read more

Obama supporters and MainStream media (msm) have their heads in the Sand. It is no wonder that he took such a shellacking in Pennsylvania. There are a whole host of reasons why Barack Obama should not be President. How many missteps and gaffes does he get before his supporters, and the main stream media wake up and smell the coffee. This guy is just not capable of winning in the general election. John McCain and the conservative special interest groups will mop the floor with him. I am simply amazed that this guy is still being considered for President. To...

Skinner's house is on fire. Those of you with the stomach to go there have likely seen the flaming icons next to the post titles. As this Democrat campaign has developed, the animosity has increased. Obama supporters now outnumber Hillary supporters by a DUmmie estimate of 7:1. As you might imagine, there's a lot of waaambulance calling. Skinner doesn't need anymore waambulances; what he, and all Demorats need, is a fire truck, as evidenced in this DUmmie THREAD entilted "My house is like a morgue tonight..." Now on to watch the DUmmies revel in--and rail against--"white guilt" in Bolshevik...

WEST COAST SPOILER AMERICAN IDOL-This post will go up right after the elimination for 4/23/08 is announced. The total will then be down to the TOP FIVE. The post will include a review for the Tuesday 4/22/08 performances and will have been written BEFORE the elimination round that my guesses, right or wrong, will be there for all the world to see. All with pics and video you'll find nowhere else on the Internet.

Representative Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), son of Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), boasted that his personal struggles with alcoholism, substance abuse and mental illness have made him a better member of Congress. “Look, the majority who elected me to serve as their representative obviously have mental problems of their own,” Kennedy admitted. “Drunks, addicts and the deranged deserve to be represented by someone they can more easily identify with. I’m their man.”

Okay, here is the moment you've been waiting for. Our own pundit, Ken Norton, has given me specific numbers as to what the results will be in the Democrat primaries on May 6 in North Carolina and Indiana. However, in order to correctly interpret Ken's predictions, I urge you first to read THE KEN NORTON EFFECT. Okay, you've finished reading it? Good. Well, from Ken's POV things look really good for Barack Obama. Ken predicts that Obama will win the North Carolina primary by a huge margin of 15 points over Hillary Clinton. Things look really great for Obama...

Senator Obama is being asked, repeatedly, to explain his associations with people on the radical, far left - people like William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, leaders of the infamous Weathermen, bombers and killers of Americans. For those who have forgotten or weren’t born yet, here is a list of a few of their activities

Friend, This morning Harry Reid is stalling critical legislation that would enhance a range of benefits for our nation's Veterans. Because of another closed-door deal Sen. Reid made with his party, he has put politics before the care needed for America’s heroes. He made a promise to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama so they could continue their campaigns which were described this morning as “even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering...” according to The New York Times. Voters are getting tired of it. I need your help to send a message to Sen. Harry Reid...

Bitter Small Town Democrats hand Obama 75-25 Loss in Northeast Pennsylvania We enjoyed watching Barack Obama lose the Pennsylvania primary 55-45, noting especially that Pennsylvania is a Blue State whose electoral votes will be decisive in the November election. The Democratic superdelegates would be well advised to note that Obama lost despite spending three dollars for every dollar that Clinton spent, thus underscoring the fact that most voters can recognize a phony smile on top of an empty suit when they see one. Obama’s camp claims, despite its catastrophic defeat, that Hillary Clinton is still behind in delegates and therefore...

According to Virginia Supreme Court to Weigh in on Lesbian Couple's Custody Battle (CNSNews.com, April 15, 2008): "The Virginia Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Thursday in a case involving a lesbian couple fighting over who gets full custody of a five-year-old girl. Janet Jenkins, former partner of Lisa Miller, is suing for custody of Miller's biological daughter even though Jenkins is not an adoptive or biological parent. "Jenkins and Miller (pictured with their baby) entered into a Vermont civil union in 2000 while living in Virginia. Miller got pregnant through artificial insemination from an anonymous donor and gave birth...

Last week, the single most unjustifiably self-righteous former president in our nation’s history, Jimmy Carter, went out of his way to piss off the US government and our allies, the Israelis, by staging meetings in Damascus and Cairo with leaders of the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas. After the meetings, Carter announced with customary fanfare that he had achieved a breakthrough. Mr. Carter… announced what appeared to be a significant concession in an address yesterday to the Israeli Council on Foreign Relations. Hamas (according to Carter) “said they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders if approved by Palestinians,...

The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction. The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them.

Bat Ye'or : "Eurabia is coherent. Its asks Israel to do what Europe does : open borders, renounce to self-defense and, finally, self-destruction".

Despite being outspent by Obama 2 to 1, Hillary took Pennsylvania last night by a comfortable margin. Her victory wasn’t the death-knell blowout that many have suggested she needs to sway a majority of undecided super-delegates to her side, but it clearly was sufficient for her to soldier on as Obama continued to struggle with traditional blue-collar Democratic constituencies. He will be similarly challenged in Indiana and Missouri. So the indefatigable, robotic Hillary will plod on, with an unrestrained, unleashed and defiant Mr. Narcissism in tow. He may sully Obama, but the damage he will continue to inflict on his...

Last evening, Chicago's Fox News at Nine aired the segment "Cardinal George Talks About Pope's Visit to America." Reporter Nancy Pender's interview with Chicago's Cardinal Francis George included video of Pope Benedict XVI touring the United States as Ms. Pender provided the voice-over: "The Cardinal says the visit reinforced his view of the Pope as a warm, compassionate man, and not the hardline conservative he's reputed to be." CARDINAL GEORGE: None of us is totally responsible for our reputations, it's what you make of it. So if that's the reputation he had, then it turns out not to be entirely...

ST. LOUIS (Map, News) - Federal airline regulators said Wednesday that 24 jets operated by commuter airline company Trans States Airlines Inc. were grounded because they do not meet safety standards. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said the airline reported the problem Tuesday and the aircraft were being checked.

Regardless of their intentions, three Nobel Peace Prize winners--Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, and the Dalai Lama--are leading humanity straight to hell. Tens of millions of people are possibly facing death and starvation because of the three Nobel laureates, whose diverse but weirdly connected campaigns and causes have been embraced and endorsed by supposedly enlightened mainstream media. A brief overview follows: The Goring of America: The former Vice President has elevated a crackpot theory about manmade global warming to the level of a national religion. His fanatic utterances and filmed slideshow, for which he won an Academy Award, have contributed mightily...

Hey everyone, sorry for another vanity, but I was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations on economical privacy fencing? I have requested quotes from a couple of people, and we really liked the bamboo fencing (mostly because it offered an 8 foot height), but we are open to suggestions. A nosey neighbor has become a problem for us, so we thought a privacy fence would be perfect! We, however, have a lot of dogs, and a half acre to fence, so I would like something durable, yet not too insanely expensive. Anyone with any knowledge in this area please help!
