As the calendar moves towards the end of 2009, we should take a step back and marvel at what the new administration has been able to accomplish. Yes, I know this seems daunting at times, but we should remember that change always comes slowly. I was playing with my IPhone on vacation and came up on two new applications I had to download. Apple was offering the Federalist Papers and Common Sense for free. I...

We come to this time of year and usually think of traditional things we are thankful. We can be thankful for our health, thankful for a job in this economy, and thankful for having family and friends in our life. I will be traveling for the holiday, so this will be my last entry until we get back at the end of the week on Sunday. I thought I would share a list of things...

With President Obama expected to announce a troop increase in Afghanistan somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 in a prime-time address to the nation on Tuesday night, I'll be interested in hearing the response of the deficit hypocrites in Congress, particularly the Senate. Let's see if those who rant and rave about the cost of health care reform hold the cost of war to the same standard, that it not add to the deficit. I'm...

Redmond and Elvis over at Bob Cesca's Awesome Blog are doing a hilarious chapter-by-chapter review of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue," which they have re-titled "Why Me Not President?" So far they have covered Chapters One and Two. I'll share a few excerpts, but read both posts in their entirety, they don't disappoint.Chapter One:"The Sarah Palin of Going Rogue loves the word "independent" (wink-wink!) and warns against the evils of Big Government while gushing over how...

From Think Progress:Amazing. ...

Thanks a lot, Senator McCain. Prior to August 29, 2008, a date which will live in infamy, few people outside of Alaska had ever heard the name Sarah Palin. Even fewer had been subjected to the inane ramblings which originate somewhere inside that vast, barren, wasteland known as her mind. She was tucked safely away, thousands of miles from an unsuspecting country, hunting moose and being a hockey puck mom. But you just couldn't leave...

Following up on Friday's post about the Republican's screaming hissy fit over reaction to Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others in New York City, Sarah the Quitter, correspondent from Facebook, has chimed in with her opinion:"Horrible decision, absolutely horrible. It is devastating for so many of us to hear that the Obama Administration decided that the 9/11 terrorist mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be given a criminal trial...

The victims of Obama Derangement Syndrome are becoming more and more unhinged with each passing day, and the chasm between them and reality is growing wider and wider. A few examples from over the weekend:  Overreacting to President Obama's bow in his meeting with Emperor Hirohito of Japan, Allahpundit at Hot Air wrote that it "made him look like an idiot" adding "this tool actually groveled himself into a minor international incident." But that was...

"The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times. Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system they are reconciled within the framework of the law."Those were the words of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy in the Boumediene v. Bush decision in June of 2008, in which the Court ruled that detainees at Guantanamo had habeas corpus rights, and words which were confirmed again yesterday when Attorney...
