A billion here, a billion there….
When are highways ever built to match present needs? Never it seems, I-95 was over capacity the day it was completed down here. More taxpayer dollars down the toilet and more construction to cause travel nightmares. And some wonder why you have to be…
Bush Tap Dances Around Illegal Immigration
I just forced myself to sit through Bush’s speech in Arizona yesterday about border control and illegal immigration. I knew I needed to. I knew it would be difficult. I knew it would be painful. Catch it again over at The Political Teen, if you can st…
My Blog is Not Blogging Outloud
“Me wanted to recruit . . . them horse tooth paste of which it is possible to clean foot-wear.” That’s what you get when you go to Blogging Outloud instead of Bloggin’ Outloud. Choose the real cola.
Wenesday Politically Correct Linkfest Party
Some of the most politically correct words of 2005: Deferred Success rather than Failure- so as not to embarrass those that do not succeed. Misguided Criminals:One of the Phrases used by the BBC instead of the word terrorists Womyn: For women to dista…
More on Bush’s Border Lies
I don’t care how many times you say it, Jefe, you’re proposing an amnesty and trying to con us into believing it isn’t one. That’s called lying, sir. And continuing to repeat it for going on five years now makes you about as believable as a Clinton…
Firefly and Serenity
Thanksgiving weekend Sal introduced me to Firefly, a wonderful Western/Sci-Fi/Cool tv series that, as per usual, Fox cancelled well before its time. Oddly, as I was writing this post, Instapundit just posted on his enthusiasm for Firefly. If Glenn R…
The Truth Behind the Legend
Recently I saw the DVD of the Jerry Bruckheimer movie King Arthur. I was fascinated by the idea of trying to find the true events that lay behind a larger-than-life legend. Of course, I don’t have the resources to fund…
Iraq Strategy: Clear, Hold, and Build
“Does America have a good plan for doing this, a strategy for victory in Iraq? Yes we do….The administrations recent use of the banner “clear, hold, and build” accurately describes the strategy as I saw it being implemented last week.”- U. S. Sen…
an interesting read, nevertheless.
“If you have to be told that running electrical current through your nipples isn’t a good idea, the brain damage was probably a pre-existing condition.”
Interesting review of Eat, Pray, Love:
“But warning bells about her spiritual sincerity start to go off when she admits she is willing to look everywhere (apparently in the whole wide world) for God, except in anything resembling orthodox Christianity.”
From WSJ, a probe to see whether Congress is misusing travel stipends:
“Some lawmakers said it has been a longstanding custom of lawmakers in both parties to keep any extra money. If lawmakers weren’t allowed to keep leftover travel funds, “you could never get many members traveling,” said Mr. Ortiz, the Texas Democrat, in an interview earlier this year.”
And the problem with that would be… ?
I had to laugh when I read Henry’s post, Five Sites I Read Because I Disagree. That’s the same reason I read Henry’s site – we’re generally on the same page, faith-wise, but Henry offers thoughtful, cogent defenses of politics a good deal more liberal than my own. (Though he’s much closer to the center than I am.) Mind you, I still disagree. But as iron sharpens iron, so an opposing blogger sharpens another. 
There’s been a lot of talk about “The Truth Laid Bear” ecosystem as it changes its rankings to make it more complex with the intention of stopping people doing unfair things that endanger the sanctity of the Bear’s rankings.
