$500,000 Bucks for the Troops? How About a Cool Million!
To quote Christopher Walken as The Continental, “Wowee, wow, wow!” Michelle Malkin and Melanie Morgan set out yesterday to raise half a million dollars to send care packages to our soldiers overseas. Instead, they raised more than twice that. Over. One. Million. Dollars. That is completely awesome! I honestly wasn’t sure they’d quite get to [...]
Hey, Kick One to the Troops, Guys.
One of the coolest things I’ve seen concocted on the internet is going to happen today. Michelle Malkin and Melanie Morgan go live online at 4 PM Eastern and they’ll stay there until midnight. Their goal is to send more care packages to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan than has ever been sent by [...]
Halt, Illegal Immigrant!
What’s the answer to our woefully porous southern border. A fence? More border guards? Feh. We don’t need any of that rubbish. We’re going to get a super-dee-duper new virtual fence! Color me significantly less than excited. I’m not exactly a novice when it comes to security matters so I know that a bunch of [...]
“Damn the news. Send in the clowns.”
Confederate Yankee, on the MSM’s coverage of Iraq: The War in Iraq is plenty interesting to Americans.

I realize that what he wants, as expressed in countless vacuous campaign speeches, is a [...]
Barack Obama Missed a Couple Islamists
Andrew McCarthy is noting an anniversary today. This is June 2008. That means it marks the ten-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s indictment. He was first charged by my old office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, in June 1998. That was before the bombings of the U.S. embassies in [...]
The Washington Post Can’t Imagine Why Democrats Oppose a US/Iraq Alliance
The Washington Post said what? It means that Iraq, a country with the world’s second largest oil reserves and a strategic linchpin of the Middle East, just might emerge from the last five years of war and turmoil as an American ally, even if its relations with Iran remain warm. So it’s hard to fathom [...]
Democrats Vote to Drive Gas Prices Higher
I realize that today looks like Oil Day at The Shack, but the stories are rolling in and I really have wanted to comment on all of them. Here’s the latest that may well make your head explode. You may want to grab some duct tape before you read on. Today, Democrats refused to allow [...]
