Stunning....I just saw, waiting to hear Hitlery's concession speech (hasn't started yet), the Wendy Williams show beginning. She started with the election results. Wendy is a big time Hitlery fan. She had a brief congrats to Trump, not nasty at all. THEN she went into a brief diatribe AGAINST Hitlery for NOT SPEAKING TO HER PEOPLE. Wendy congratulated Clinton for the race, but then said something like, "You should have come out and said something. You don't go home and go to bed or cry in a closet until AFTER you have spoken to your troops!" Probably the only time...

Isn’t it just wonderful when two different people or items are paired to make a perfect combination? When I first met my wife, we discovered that we both loved to dip our french-fries into our Wendy’s Frosty (yes, that was back when Frostys were only chocolate). It was a wonderful coming together of flavors. Of course, there are other items that fit well together, beans and bacon, apple pie and vanilla ice cream, chips and salsa, and fried fish with malt vinegar! Ah… enough about food. How about Jeeps and mud? Goofy hats and babies? Doctors with small hands? A...

AUSTIN, Texas - Hillary Clinton, the front-runner no more, sought to bury Barack Obama, but also to praise him in their latest campaign debate and revive her own White House hopes in the process. "No matter what happens in this contest — and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama," she said at the conclusion of the 90-minute forum. "Whatever happens, we're going to be fine." It was an unexpectedly gracious moment in a debate that was supposed to be a game changer for Clinton in the run-up to crucial primaries in Texas and Ohio...

Miss USA gives Mexicans lesson in graciousness By Herald wire services Wednesday, May 30, 2007 Miss USA Rachel Smith gets up after falling during the Miss Universe pageant. (AP photo) MEXICO CITY - When Miss USA took the stage, there was nary a caballero in the crowd. The Mexican audience booed and hooted Rachel Smith repeatedly during the weekend’s Miss Universe competition. The music was too loud to tell how they reacted when the gringa took a tumble on stage. Smith was encountering what other Americans have before her. Mexican rudeness toward all things American. In 2004 and 2005, Mexican...

Today and tomorrow I'll be out of commission observing the Jewish New Year. I thought before checking out I would repost this item that we originally ran on September 30, 2003. It reported (courtesy of our friend Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg) an otherwise uncovered event and provided a glimpse of an important side of President Bush. Making adjustments for the changes in circumstances between then and now, I think it remains timely. During the 10-day period between the Jewish New Year and the Day of Atonement -- the "days of awe" that are the holiest on the Jewish calendar -- the...

From One Conservative To All The Rest Following the remarkable victory by Republicans over Democrats the other night in virtually every important respect, many of the people I've talked to on the right are now saying that it's time to show liberals how conservatives win an election... by being forgiving and gracious in victory. We need unity now, they claim, and it's up to us to set the example for others to follow in the future. Sounds nice, doesn't it? All warm and fuzzy... soft and sweet. I'm quite certain that the folks who feel that way have made their...
