Q and O has the details. As Emanuel notes, the odds were set. 500 vs. 70. Even so, Emanuel entitled his article, “An Alamo With a Different Ending.” The 500 terrorists apparently didn’t realize they were attacking US Army paratroopers. The unit in question was 2nd Platoon, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne),…

Democrats keep telling us that if we open the Outer Continental Shelf for drilling we won’t get any oil out of it for ten years (the real number is two or three years). Are they trying to tell us we won’t be needing oil for our vehicles in ten years? I’d like to see the…

Very hard “The McCain campaign was compelled to respond to this outrageous attack because we will not allow John McCain to be smeared by Senator Obama as a racist for offering legitimate criticism,” he said. “We have waited…

The truth has finally come out. Officially. Greens think more wealth is a bad idea. Environmental campaigners, citing government-commissioned research, have said that the UK’s claimed carbon emissions figures are “a big lie”.

Eric at Classical Values discourses on Obama’s prescription for saving gasoline. I have been so engaged in the move (truly the most harrowing one of my life) that I have barely been able to keep abreast of news developments, much less blog about them. But that did not mean that I missed Barack Obama’s fascinating…

La Shawn Barber has a bit up about the racism of global warming. It is no joke. On Tuesday, liberal Congressman James Clyburn spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to kick off the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative, sponsored by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The left-leaning think…

The Obama camp has a new blog up The Low Road Express, which discusses McCain’s “distortions” of Obama’s words. This is the print version of WORM which stands for What Obama Really Meant. Here is one of my favorites from Cincinnati Enquirer. The McCain ad’s claim that Obama says ‘he’ll raise taxes on electricity’ is…

John Kass in the Chicago Tribune comments on the latest Obama video by MoveOn.org. It is a hoot. Also target rich. Obama hopium was so powerful, that that first rush of it, well, it sent a tingle up my leg. Or down my leg. Then up. So now, when I read newspaper stories about Obama’s…

This is a McCain ad which echoes my latest post on why drilling for oil is a good thing and will have good effects almost immediately: It’s A Zero Sum Game. The idea is to zero out the Saudis and other malefactors besides keeping the money in America. If sending our money to China for…

I just came across an interesting thread on some kind of strange Google blog that talks about the Democrat’s anti-oil position. One commenter says this about oil drilling (edited slightly for typos and clarity) The 10 year timeframe that everyone keeps repeating is not a very realistic one. It takes less than a year to…
