Feingold’s Folly
Well, I used to be proud of being from Wisconsin. Now, unfortunately, that wholesome Midwestern image is sullied. Besmirched by one Russ Feingold, the Senator from Wisconsin.
In a recent political (and, if I may be so bold, stupid) move, Mr Feingold has introduced a resolution to censure the President for the NSA wiretapping “scandal.” [ Feingold Proposes Censuring President Bush ]‚ He has sent his resolution to the Senate Judiciary first, but if the Judiciary doesn’t act on it, Feingold has said he will take it to the full Senate.

Entertainment by Barbara Streisand (but not what you think)
Now… I am not immune to the occasional spelling error, but then, I don’t go around admonishing the President for being a C student, either.
I find it ironic then, that Barbara Streisand, referring to George Bush and the “The arrogance of this C student,” also had 11 spelling errors in the same post! Thank goodness for the Drudge Report and their quick thinking in making a screen shot of the original post since the errors were corrected by the Spelling Fairy as soon as the news hit the wire.
You can view a list of the errors in the …
A Victory for Common Sense
The Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that universities accepting federal funding must allow military recruiters on campus. The universities felt that they should have free speech protection in a dispute over the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
The universities were certainly free to stop accepting public funds. They were also free to make known their protest of the military’s policy. That should have been the end of the story. But they wanted to take it beyond the extreme, into an area that would defy common sense.
The government provides certain stipulations on distribution of public funds (which it …
Truth Matters Not in an Election Year
As we get closer to the mid-term elections, I expect to hear reality spun into completely new stories as candidates on both sides clammer for votes. Here is a great comment on this subject from syndicated talk radio host Neal Boortz (boortz.com)
Harold Ford is running for the Senate in Tennessee. He is a Democrat; something of a lightweight Barak Obama. Ford went to Maryland to film a commercial for his senate race. He stood there in the Baltimore port and said:‚ “The president wants to sell this port and five others to the …
Save Michael Morales?
I recently read an article entitled “Save Michael Morales“. The author asks the following question:
The question remains, should we, at the execution hour of 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 21, care if Michael Morales lives or dies?
Unfortunately, he gives the following answer to his rhetorical question:
The answer is yes. We cannot ignore the intrinsic immorality of state-sponsored murder. If the right to life is a fundamental human right, it must apply universally, to all human beings.
We will always fall short in our efforts to honor human rights, to forgive, to reconcile, to rehabilitate and to heal. But we cannot, must …
