Thanks to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation that will further hinder our nation’s ability to become energy independent (i.e., depend less upon foreign sources of oil and natural gas) is one step closer to becoming law. There are at least a couple of provisions — and perhaps more — in the just-passed Omnibus [...]

Writer Thanks Rod Blagojevich for ‘Public Service’
January 6th, 2009 · No Comments
At first glance, one might think David Catron’s a bit crazy for beginning his piece at American Thinker today by describing Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) as a man who, “for all of his well-documented faults, has performed at least one valuable public service.” In reality, he’s spot-on. Under the headline, Pay-to-Play Politics, the SEIU and [...]

Who’s missing from the caricature above? It appears the right answer might be Roland Burris, the former Illinois attorney general picked yesterday by Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) to replace Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate. I base this assessment upon the content of a National Legal and Policy Center report published over 5 years ago [...]

Though it wasn’t delivered directly to my door via UPS or FedEx, I did receive a Christmas gift today from Dr. Andrew Bostom. It arrived free of charge in the form of a post under the headline, Horse Hockey Climate Scientology: “Getting Rid” of the Medieval Warming Period.

Writer Hits Mark on Issue of Obama Birth Certificate
November 26th, 2008 · 11 Comments
Today at American Thinker, I read what is perhaps the best piece to date on the subject of President-elect Barack Obama‘s birth certificate and how it relates to his eligibility to serve as the nation’s 44th president. Written by someone going by the pen name, Joe the Farmer, it appears some four months after I [...]
