After seeing this article the other day, Bush’s Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept; Obama Officials Say Oversight Will Grow, I felt compelled to share some helpful suggestions when you are traveling into the USA: carry some change to make phone calls, bring some paper and a pen to be able to write a letters/documents, [...]

When I saw this at The Onion, I thought this was mighty plausible. Make sure you read the crawl at the bottom - even as a die-hard Yankees fan, I thought the first one was funny:
White House Reveals Obama Is Bipolar, Has Entered Depressive Phase
See?? Doesn’t that make everything make more sense? [...]

A computer program that tells the White House where you have been on the Internet, RADICAL!

In a brilliant rebuttal to coordinated attacks from the far left, this Wall Street Journal op-ed, “Tax Day Becomes Protest Day - How the tea parties could change American politics.” (related stories) nails the true genesis of today’s protests:
Today American taxpayers in more than 300 locations in all 50 states will hold rallies — dubbed [...]

(Bumped up from this morning. And don’t miss the Boston Tea Party “Tax Day” plans just below this post. ALSO: Here’s another attack via HuffyPoop, “Teabagging: Redux Anti-Intellectualism.” Get that, you redneck hooligans?)
Hey, all you Tax Day people. You’re not part of some ‘winger cabal, are you? You’re not into [...]

(Susan’s April 13th Note: I AM PISSED OFF. This essay is bumped up because, dammit, I need to restore my FOCUS on the ELEPHANTS in the room! While it’s fascinating to debate the pirate crisis, it is foremost VITAL to focus on the dangerous stories such as Obama’s power-hungry expansion of executive authority, known in [...]

We keep hearing about the almost $1 TRILLION dollar “stimulus” package put forth by Obama and the Democratic leadership. And we keep hearing that a number of Republicans are pretty upset about some of the “pork” put in there.
Well, the Republicans have put out a list of some of the more egregious [...]

What does it take to get into Harvard Law School? According to its website, some 8000 applicants compete for 500 openings each year: those accepted have nearly perfect LSAT scores and a GPA of at least 3.8. This isn’t a recent increase in difficulty; acceptance into Harvard Law has always been difficult. In [...]

I was cruising the internets for a simple way to explain what Paulson and our irresponsible congress are thinking about doing. First of all, it certainly appears that congress created this problem by allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac run wild guaranteeing loans to people with Zero credit ratings, no means to pay for a [...]

Overview: This is a story of big-city behind-the-scenes politics — of scratch-my-back and I’ll-scratch-yours backroom dealings. It is a story of how Bill Ayers and Barack Obama — sitting on a charitable board (for which they were paid) — aided and abetted the lucrative real estate development projects of Obama’s former law firm associate [...]

The Clinton campaign ad featuring a 3 a.m. telephone call as a metaphor for experienced leadership in foreign policy has generated considerable comment, but much of the reaction is from people who have never been involved in foreign policy and certainly never had to field [...]

While Obama supporters often obsess over the Iraq War Vote, there is no denying that Senator Clinton has far more Foreign Policy experience than Senator Obama. If one reads the Foreign Policy Speech she gave yesterday (link), there is an impressive grasp of world [...]

I’m sure you’ve also had this experience: You watch a candidate or official make remarks on television, and you get a sense of what they’re saying, but the media ends up reporting an entirely different interpretation, and you wonder if you’re the only person who heard the candidate/official as they intended to be heard!

I’m sure you’ve all heard the news that Gonzales is resigning. (Why not remove the lightning rods well before the ‘08 election?) CNN International and a Time blog are reporting that “Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is the odds-on favorite” to replace Gonzales, and that Clay Johnson, deputy director of the Office of Management and [...]
