Ed Morrissey has a really interesting article about the CNN debate debacle of Wednesday evening. As he said, corruption is a strong word, but CNN's behavior gives rise to the question.
As we recognize World Aids Day, we must also recognize that there is a lot of work to be done to bring this terrible disease under control. Let our country resolve to lead the way.
The news from Iraq continues to get better. Hopefully, this trend will continue and the Iraqis will begin to control their own destiny.
Wouldn't it be nice if race had nothing to do with who a person backs in an election?
This is an interesting article. I recommend it to all of the Thompson supporters. I don't agree with the premise of the article, which is the old garbage that Fred is lazy, but I think Thompson supporters could help the Senator a lot by getting out there and talking about his ideas. He has a lot of good ones, and they are getting no attention. That's too bad.
I confess, I have found it difficult to take Ron Paul seriously at times, because he is such a poor debater, but I think it is time for everyone to begin to take this guy seriously and to listen to his message. I am not a libertarian, and I strongly disagree with his position on Iraq, but there are a lot of people out there listening to him. We all should, maybe we can learn something.
I wish the GOP candidates would think about the party a little more. They are setting the Republican party up for a massive defeat in 2008.
This story in the Politico shows again the rapid shift of priorities in national politics.
The Politico is reporting that police have been called to a hostage situation at a Hillary Clinton field office in New Hampshire. Hopefully, this situation will be resolved safely.
Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters has a good article about the shift in the war in Iraq, and the problems it presents for the Democrats.
Michelle Malkin has an article in the New York Post about the mess that passed for a debate on Wednesday night.
Every time something like this occurs, it reminds me of the problems we face in the world.
This story just keeps getting more and more interesting. Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters has the story.
Redstate goes after CNN. Good for them.
Check out the grades for the Republican Candidates from the debate of last night.
Why do I have the feeling that Bin Laden knows Al Qaeda is losing everywhere?
I find it strange that CNN didn't do a better job of checking out the people asking questions.
I didn't get the sense that any of the candidates, except perhaps Rudy, got personal. I thought it was a serious discussion, mishandled by CNN.
If the media and the politicians had bothered to listen to Senator Thompson, they would know that this is exactly the kind of campaign he said he would run.
I think Fred Barnes should have just sat back and enjoyed the spectacle. Huckabee had the right approach.
It is no surprise to me that the press ranks dead last in this survey.
Wonder if this had something to do with Senator Lott resigning?
I don't think this is what McCain-Feingold intended, but it just goes to show the power of the Clintons.
36 Days until the Iowa Caucuses
41 Days until the New Hampshire Primary
52 Days until the South Carolina Primary
62 Days until the Florida Primary
Well, at least former President Clinton thinks all the Republican candidates are interesting.
If you watched Monday night's Steelers - Miami football game on ESPN, you saw the terrible condition of the field. I don't buy Art Rooney II's excuse for the condition of the field. Didn't he watch the weather forecasts up there? And what's up with letting high school and college teams use the field before an important pro game? I graduated from law school with Art, and he is a terrific person, but he dropped the ball on this one.
My good friend John LeBoutillier has another terrific article in Newsmax. He is one of the best columnists I have ever read, and I recommend his articles to all of you. I don't always agree with John, but I know that when I read one of his articles he will speak plainly without any of the extra verbage that so many writers like to engage in.
This guy is too funny. He wants to observe because he doesn't think we will want to vote for President Bush again. I guess someone forgot to tell him that the President isn't running again.
I guess even the good Doctor has to make a living sooner or later.
Stuart Rothenberg of Roll Call makes the argument that Ron Paul is still irrelevant in Republican politics, that his fundraising pales in comparison to the front runners, and that he should not be taken seriously because he has no chance to win the Republican nomination. I still believe that he has no chance to win the nomination, but I believe that he must, and should. be taken seriously.
David Brooks has an excellent op-ed in the New York Times, in which he writes about the fundamental soundness of America's economy, and America's standing in the financial world.
The Steeler organization should be screaming bloody murder over the condition of the field - oh yeah, the Steelers won 3 - 0.
Denny Hastert has resigned from the House of Representatives effective tonight. God Speed Mr. Speaker.
An excellent analysis by David Rogers of the battle ahead for leadership positions in the Republican Senate caucus.
The Politico is reporting that Senator Jon Kyl will run for the whip position. Come on folks, don't we have some better people in our party. I sure don't want a pro-amnesty Senator in the number two position.
Mort Kondracke of Roll Call talks about what the Democrats intend to do in 2009 if they win the White House and gain control of both houses of Congress.
Jack Kelly has a column in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, highlighting Joe Lieberman's remarks about the behavior of Democrats regarding the war in Iraq. Mr. Kelly correctly points out that the American people will remember the actions of the Democrats.
The Politico is reporting that Trent Lott will resign, possibly announcing it as early as today. I have never cared for Lott, but we can't afford to keep losing Republican Senators. Nevertheless, I will certainly not miss Trent. He is the kind of Republican that only hurts our party.
Powerline has a post about Michael Gerson's book, called Heroic Conservatism. Powerline makes much the same points that George Will made in his article called "The Failings of Heroic Conservatism". Unfortunately, my dislike of the arrogance of Will's writing style and his speaking style caused me to ignore the excellent points that Powerline and Wills made. Read their articles. They really do explain a lot of the shortcomings of the Bush administration over the last several months.
Fred Barnes has this crazy idea that we can actually shrink the federal government.
As time goes on, I dislike George Will more and more. Not so much for his philosophy, because I agree with most of what he says, but because of his arrogance. He gives the conservative movement a bad name with his superior, patronizing attitude toward all who disagree with him. The conservative movement would be better served without the arrogance of pundits like him and William Kristol.
I thought this was one problem that we would not have to deal with again in my lifetime.
This story really caught my eye, because I have a friend who has been fighting a battle against his former employer over this very issue for years.
Just received this link from Tommy Oliver. A good article in National Review by Larry Kudlow.
