“If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its [...]

Some consider the Community Activist-in-Chief to be a punk, incapable of showing respect. This notion took firm root when he wouldn’t put his hand on his heart for the National Anthem, back in the days when he sneeringly refused to wear a flag pin:
But it turns out BHO can show respect after all. Here he [...]

Representative Alcee Hastings (D, Fla.) is touting his amendment to H.R.2647, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. Section 524 stipulates a “prohibition on recruitment, enlistment, or retention of persons associated or affiliated with groups or associated with hate-related violence against groups or persons of the United States government.”

OK, my headline is admittedly too simplistic. In fact, the whole medical malpractice milieu is sorely in need of a fix. We have unnecessarily large awards to aggrieved patients, crushing insurance costs to doctors to cover malpractice, a situation where defensive medicine drives up costs, and an entire industry of lawyers whose [...]

(The sign says: “Honduras is an example to the world: we do not have oil or dollars. But we have balls”)
I continue to receive messages from Honduran citizens upset at the international media for their distorted coverage of the situation in the Central American country. The people support the ouster of Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, [...]
Obama Manages To Annoy His Russian Hosts

Apparently, Putin and Medvedev just aren’t considered the kinds of dictators, brutal leaders, or far left enough for Obama to kiss their butts. Perhaps the two should have stressed a little more that they have lots of nuclear weapons and the actual means to deliver them? Or Putin could have regaled Obama with some of [...]

Below is an article summarizing a non-peer-reviewed and unpublished paper which was primarily written by a woman employed by an Australian university Department devoted to climate change (full details of that below). Despite its undistinguished origins, however, it has made the news so I think a few comments are in order.

Time for Rham to take away Barry’s shoe laces and belt, the President’s poll numbers have come in under 50% in Ohio.
In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Obama is clinging to a 49% approval rating in the Buckeye state and carrying a 44% disapproval rate. Perhaps it is a matter of Ohio’s dismal unemployment numbers – [...]

Casket makers catering to natural burials have offered biodegradable coffins made of such materials as recycled newspapers or cardboard. Ecoffins USA, based in Montrose, Colo., is selling caskets made of banana sheaves.
They take six months to two years to biodegrade.

An organization in Idaho filed for permits for a military flyover, as they have done for 42 years. For 42 years the request was approved. In The Time of Obama, however, the Pentagon denied the God and Country Family Festival their ceremonial flyover.
