Some Questions for Kerry Supporters
I know that once in a while, I have a few John Kerry supporters that come by here. I want to throw out some questions to them and see what answer I can get. I’m honestly curious to read the answers because I’ve yet to see Kerry himself come close to an answer for them. [...]
Your UN at Work
Remember, these are the folks John Kerry wants to trust with the people of Iraq. BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP) – Dozens of attackers raided a U.N. refugee camp in western Burundi, shooting and hacking to death at least 180 people, witnesses and local officials said Saturday. Where were any UN troops? The article doesn’t say at [...]
Steyn, You Magnificent Bastard! I Read Your Column!
Mark Steyn – whom I want to nominate for Columnist-Laureate – has written another gem, this time about “truth”. “My truth is that I am a gay American,” announced Gov. James McGreevey to the people of New Jersey last Thursday. That’s such an exquisitely contemporary formulation: ”my” truth. Once upon a time, there was only [...]
Iran and the Insurgency.
I watched “This Week” with George Stephaluppagus. The first half-hour of the show dealth with the “insurgency” in Iraq – namely Moqtada al-Sadr and the fighting in Najaf. The interview portion featured Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel (what – was there no one even close to a conservative available on the Republican side today??) and [...]

But here are a new group of sites that deserve some special attention. Shack Shoppers, here are this week’s picks: Ace O Spades HQ: Haiku Contests, Paul Anka [...]
Et Tu, Huey?
Huey Lewis and the News has been, since the 1980s, one of my very favorite bands. I own every album they ever made (either in cassette or CD form) and I think they’re one of the best bar bands that’s come along. So this hurts me an awful lot. Huey has asked HLN Today (http://www.hln.org) [...]
The Agony of the Opening Ceremonies
Someone save me from Opening Ceremonies at Olympic Games, please? I’m watching a man wearing a diaper walking backwards slowly on a cube suspended 30 or so feet in the air (don’t worry, he’s wearing a wire harness, too, probably hooked to the diaper). This is apparently meant to symbolize “Man’s evolution as a rational [...]
Best Sports Movies?
The incomparable Sheila has a post about great sports movies, and notes a few of her faves. I left a comment there, but I wanted to expand on them here, too. Feel free to praise my wise choices and leave a few of your own. Read on if you want to know…
