Oil For Food, Part One - Our Blood, Their Oil

I remember well the Iran-Contra scandal. The arms-for-hostages deal dominated the headlines for weeks and resulted in televised hearings that made a hero out of Oliver North and indictments of high government officials, though most were later pardoned by President Bush. It was, in short, a major story. Where is the outcry over the […]

Good News For Republicans

Michael Barone of U.S. News and World Report has a new column on reshaping the electorate. If you watched Election 2004 coverage on Fox News, you’ll know Barone as the analyst who was crunching the returns in real-time. His real claim to fame, though, is the Almanac of American Politics, THE source of […]

A Quick Journey Around the Blogosphere

Benjamin at the anti-Chomsky blog has some great thoughts on Chomsky’s reaction to Election ‘04 (hint: Chomsky doesn’t like the outcome), in which our favorite America hater again reveals his underlying Marxism by mentioning ‘class interests’ (what a laughable way to analyze modern America!). Benjamin rightly calls him out on his pathetic attempt […]

Race and the 2004 Election

You may not be aware of Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered, particularly since it airs on that paragon of political correctness, PBS. It’s a pretty informative new series starring the bow-tied boy wonder (and Jon Stewart punching bag). This week featured, among others, Marjorie Fields Harris, a candidate for Vice Chair of the Democratic National […]

Welcome To My New Blog!

Howdy, folks, and welcome to my new blog. I’m going to spend the next four years looking at the politicial horizon in what will hopefully be a witty, informative manner. I’m a conservative, so I won’t insult your intelligence by pretending to be unbiased, but I will try to be fair to both sides (whenever […]
