Month: March 2008

Today is big showdown day in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. At 11:00 a.m., Barack Obama will be delivering his speech about Jeremiah Wright and racism, and it’s do-or-die time: Democrats who worry that Barack Obama is untested can put their concerns to rest. The inflammatory rhetoric of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright has confronted…

From Dr. Helen, a fascinating observation about lock picking: …picking locks is not much different than picking minds, that is, you have to be patient, never force change if not necessary, don’t use the wrong method of entry and do not give up too easily. I really like that analogy. You also don’t want to…

Is Barack Obama planning a Sister Souljah speech tomorrow? Barack Obama will give a major speech on “the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he told reporters in Monaca, PA just now. He was pressed there, as he has been at recent appearances, on statements by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. “I am going…

Sgt. Mom needs your help. She worked for a small business and her boss died Saturday of natural causes while she was in the next room. While she is tied up helping to straighten out the remains of the business she is out of a job. Please visit her and drop something in the tip…

In a sneaky amendment to a crime bill, Pennsylvania gun control forces are pushing hard for legislation that would criminalize the failure to report guns that are either lost or stolen. HARRISBURG – Handgun-control proponents in the State House are attempting to force a floor vote today on a controversial bill that would require handgun…

While driving in the car recently, I have found myself thoroughly enjoying hearing “hate speech” denounced on conservative talk shows. Earlier this morning, Jeremiah Wright was being compared to Fred Phelps, which is a very fair comparison, because both are spewers of hate speech who belong to the Democratic Party. (I won’t hold my breath…

Obama has said he didn’t hear firsthand any of “Wrong Way” Wright’s anti-American diatribes. It appears that that statement is not entirely correct. Contrary to Senator Barack Obama’s claim that he never heard his pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. preach hatred of America, Obama was in the pews last July 22 when the minister blamed…

Eric is asking if A should be held responsible for the statements of B? I think it depends on the degree of the association. You know kind of weighted. Or in more technical terms. Fuzzy logic. One thing we can say for sure (assuming humans are free actors and can choose acting against interest) is…

Is there such a thing as Election Burnout Syndrome? I don’t know, but I do know that am really tired of the election, and sicker than I can ever remember being sick of any election before. The worst aspect of being burned out now is that technically, they have not yet really begun to fight,…

Like all criminal organizations the Democrat Party is falling apart over the division of the spoils.

In a comment to an earlier post, I opined that Hillary has a far better chance of beating McCain than Obama ever would, which is why I questioned the motives of some of the Republicans who support her. But in this topsy-turvy state of affairs created by massive crossover voting (25% of Clinton’s voters in…

It seems a lot of Democrat Party donors are not satisfied with the way the primaries are going and promise to withhold donations if their complaints are not resolved. Democrats in Michigan and Florida struggled Friday to resolve the impasse over their disputed January primaries, coming up with a plan to hold a June primary…

Instapundit put out a call for help and messages of support for a blogger whose wife was suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis. So I did my usual and checked to see if marijuana would be of any help. And what do you know. (the numbers in the text refer to footnotes from here) Recent research…

I’ve just been watching Barack Obama on the hot seat at Fox News — doing his best to defend himself in the face of the Jeremiah “GOD DAMN AMERICA” Wright stuff. They’re running the Wright videos over and over and Obama is clearly feeling the heat. Some of the commentators raised the issue of the…

While I eat my vegetables, I haven’t really seen much by way of the future in them. Other than, perhaps, I eat them in order to prolong my stay on the planet. But Glenn Reynolds linked an interesting idea — whether asparagus and other vegetables might be useful as fortune telling devices: I never suspected…

Bloomberg News has an article up on why it will be difficult to support the nuclear renaissance currently planed. Here is the money quote: “I find it just amazing that so many people jumped on the bandwagon of this renaissance without ever looking at the industrial side of it,” Schneider said. It would take any…

Anyone get a load of Harry Reid’s fireside chat? It was very picturesque — right down to the details of a split-wood fire: It was the 75th anniversary of President Roosevelt’s first Fireside Chat in 1933, delivered in the depths of the Great Depression. But with FDR long gone and a Republican in the White…

“Ruth Henderson” (pseudonymous name of a former booking agent for high-priced Manhattan call girls) has written a Pajamas Media piece about high-priced prostitution, and she explores the whys of prostitution: …why would a rich, powerful and handsome man pay for extra-marital sex? Aren’t there tons of women waiting to throw themselves at him for free?…

A lot of attention is being paid to the video of the pro-Obama, anti-American minister Jeremiah Wright. Similarly, a lot of attention is being paid to Eliot Spitzer’s heterosexual prostitution scandal. I believe in being fair, and I’ve written two posts about Obama’s “gay” scandal, as well as two posts about Spitzer. And M. Simon…
