This article highlights a recent proposal by two U.S. Senators which would at least make Social Security surpluses safe from spendthrift politicians.

It is interesting to watch the secular Left circling above the desert campus of the Air Force Academy. Any cadet who pulls the female-Harvard-math-professor routine upon learning that a “superior” is an Evangelical Christian, then perhaps s/he doesn’t have what it takes to face down an enemy. Yikes.
I challenge you to look into the facts [...]

This article about Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) really rubbed me the wrong way. I believe Hutchinson fails to appreciate how tenuous her relationship is with the GOP “base” and was smart not to try and mount a primary challenge against incumbent Rick Perry in the TX gubernatorial race. Further, I only hope that her [...]

I just got my hourly email from the Democrat Party (just kidding, it is probably only a couple times a week . . . it just FEELS like it is hourly). Howard Dean is asking me to give $20 or more per month to counter Republicans, who, we’re breathlessly informed, “raise more than $10 [...]

In light of the impending vacancies on the Supreme Court, I think it is valuable to consider the judicial philosophy which is I believe is appropriate under the U.S. Constitution. Though many of us Conservatives will be heard advocating for “conservative” judges, I want to emphasize that the appropriate “conservative” judge is in actuality [...]

I just came across this hilarious article on the Borowitz Report about Michael Jackson and the post-9/11 skepticism of the French. Headline: “MICHAEL JACKSON ADMITS PLASTIC SURGERY; FRANCE UNCONVINCED.”

This sounds like something you’d read on The Onion. The reigning Miss World is fighting back in a war of words with a Peruvian plastic surgeon. According to the “beautiful” Miss World, though the surgeon has worked on her breasts and nose, he absolutely, positively did NOT give her buttock implants or trim her ears. [...]

This article about new Atty. Gen. Gonzalez’ approval of removing the curtains that had hidden the partially-nude DOJ “Lady Justice” statues demonstrates how the press often “has a dog in the fight.” It appears, from every example given, that photographers were eager to mockingly frame pix of GOP AGs with the statue. And [...]

This NY Times article illustrates the arrogance of Statism and it is very fitting that it happened in Connecticut. People are so sloppy with the terms Liberal and Conservative that they can avoid the sometimes uncomfortable restrictions of being principled. I’ve griped about how sloppy the Liberal/Conservative labels are used when referring to the judiciary [...]

In this interview with Der Spiegel, Woody Allen reveals a lot about himself and his worldview. Ironically, he comes off as both a Nihilist and a Moralist. One particular statement he made struck me as absurd: he asserted that political events or political/historical events are not “profound enough” to merit his artistic attention, because, he [...]
