    What To Do With "Universal Health Care"

    Monday, July 31st, 2006

    As John Kerry retreads his failed idea for a universal health care program from his failed White House bid of 2004, I am reminded of what should be done with health care in this country. It is no secret that many Americans lack coverage. It is also no secret that any effort the federal government [...]

    New York Times Backs Lieberman’s Opponent

    Monday, July 31st, 2006

    Via FoxNews:
    The New York Times on Sunday backed Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont in his Democratic primary challenge of Sen. Joe Lieberman, criticizing the three-term incumbent for his support of President Bush’s national security policies.
    Does this liberal rag still try to pretend it’s not a liberal rag? Of the two Democrats, they support the one [...]

    More Typical Lefty Lunacy in Mexico

    Monday, July 31st, 2006

    A Mexican leftist fighting to overturn a tight presidential election he said was plagued with fraud will try to shut down the capital’s main business district on Monday to push for a vote-by-vote recount. Thousands of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s supporters seized control of the imposing Zocalo square in Mexico City on Sunday night as [...]

    The Tables Have Turned on the UN

    Sunday, July 30th, 2006

    I actually find this funny, in an ironic sort of way. Generally, when the UN doesn’t act, it is the poor and oppressed (think Arabs under Saddam or the Tutsis of Rwanda) who pay the price. Generally, it is the powerful liberal democracies with the resources to make change that are prevented from acting. Generally, [...]

    Damned If We Do, Damned If We Don’t

    Sunday, July 30th, 2006

    On one hand, the world attitude towards America is “stay out of our business” or “stop trying to Americanize the whole world” or some other variation on the “American hegemony” or “American imperialism” theme. On the other hand, as soon as hell breaks loose, you get something like this:
    The stunning bloodshed [in Lebanon] pushed American [...]

    USA Today "Analysis" of Bush Foreign Policy

    Sunday, July 30th, 2006

    Today’s USA Today ran a pretty silly article. The premise is that the United States’ policy of not having diplomatic relationships with Iran, Syria, North Korea, Hamas, and Hezbollah is bad for us and the world. The article quotes “notable” experts and others to make its point.

    Zbigniew Brzezinski, who helped shape a far different U.S. [...]

    Fun With Cindy Sheehan’s House

    Saturday, July 29th, 2006

    Rarely do such great opportunities present themselves to everyday people, but if I where a under-18 high school student living in or around Crawford, I would be thanking my lucky stars. The target house of the century has just been discovered. Via the AP:
    Like many folks in President Bush’s adopted hometown, 83-year-old Robert Westerfield isn’?t [...]

    Why Can’t Leftists Accept Elections?

    Thursday, July 27th, 2006

    This can’t be just a coincidence. Reminiscent of US elections in 2000 and 2004, Mexico’s lefty loser the July 2nd presidential election has named himself the president, despite the obvious fact that he isn’t.
    “I won the election. Yes, I’m the president of Mexico,” he [Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador] told the Spanish-language Univision network in [...]

    Border Jumpers Decreasing

    Thursday, July 27th, 2006

    Well, what do you know? It works.
    US Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar said Tuesday that arrests of people trying to cross the border illegally have dropped by 45 percent in the two months since President Bush announced a plan to send 6,000 National Guard troops to aid in border security along the Mexican border.
    A [...]

    Thief Steals From Judge While on Trial For Theft

    Friday, July 14th, 2006

    Some people never learn.
    A 61-year-old German man on trial for theft got himself into more trouble when he stole from the judge during his court hearing, police said on Thursday.
    Police in the central town of Coburg said that while facing her at the bench, the man pocketed a bunch of keys from the judge, who [...]
