coup d’etat: a violent or illegal seizure of power.
We’ve heard the word bandied about all week; a coup d’etat in
Honduras. One detail which of course was left out was that it was a deposing which was neither violent or illegal. Indeed, if this is a coup d’etat it is certainly a very odd one. Who [...]

Election Predictions
November 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment
First off, I do not in anyway believe that Obama actually has double-digit lead. The polls and the media are displaying two huge blind-spots, 1) a +7 to +10 party identification they are given the Democrats. This completely misses the enthusiasm which Sara Palin has generated. Party ID spread I venture to guess will be [...]

The Third Debate
October 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment
This was John McCain best debate performance tonight. Was it good enough to give him a boost; probably a small bump in the polls. Obama looked very thin visually, and rattled at times. He smirked and laughed several times during McCain’s answers which did not help him. But by the second half of the debate [...]

Von Hiddenburg debates the Marxist Professor
October 10th, 2008 · No Comments
The debate Tuesday was dreadful and depressing. Here our country is panicked and angry, and these two bores wandered around room with non-committal rhetoric, clueless that the country and the world are looking for a leader. Instead on one side of the stage we got a slick socialist, who promises to install social programs for everyone [...]

Deepak Chopra made a name for himself in the ’80’s as a sort of wise man Buddhist who opened Americans to the deep importance of the mind-body connection. He became an alternative, new-age priest of mysticism, penning forty books on the topic in the last two decades ( a number which would make even Steven [...]

Obama might pursue criminal charges

I keep seeing this headline in my web-browsing today, and for a split second I think “Against Sarah Palin for assault & battery?” I watched the speech again a little bit ago, does anybody every remember a complete dismantling of an opponent such as this?

ALASKAN DYNAMO DELIVERS

Yesterday Fred Thompson quipped that Sarah Palin was “ the only candidate who knows how to field-dress a moose”. From her remarkable performance tonight, its obvious she also can field-dress a lofty liberal rhetorician and his symbiotic pack media with the same deftness. What a spectacular speech.
Seeing the always funny Rudy Giuliani warm up the [...]

Sara Palin, Frontier-Woman
August 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments
There has been an a-ha moment which has swept the country. It took place sometime earlier this year when each of us were filling our cars at $70 a tank. Anger and frustration boiled over in the American mind to finally percolate into one idea, “ENOUGH!” We are Americans, a can-do nation, and its simply [...]

The True Grit Ticket
August 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment
True Grit is one of my very favorite movies. Its the tale of Rooster Cogburn, an aging marshal, who has the prediliction for the sauce, and Mattie Ross, a young lady with unbelievable moxie bent on revenge for the murder of her father. Together these two underdogs do what neither of them could do [...]

My very favorite columnist, Charles Krauthammer, is advocating what I consider to be a monstrous idea. The government will guarantee at minimum $4 gas? Gee thanks! I’m certain when gas does drop again, those federal tax windfalls will end up in reducing our payroll taxes. Don’t hold your breadth on that [...]
