Drudge has the scoop! Rush has to jump through some hoops, but at least in 18 months, the whole thing’ll be behind him… just in time for his estute political analysis during the run up to the 2008 election!

This was originally posted after Scott McClellan’s resignation but worth a mention here while we’re on the topic of the White House press corps. Saturday Night Live, a show which only seems to be funny during the latter half of any given decade, recently took a pretty amusing swipe at the White House and the [...]

Rush brings up a funny point about this idea of the oil companies “gouging” the consumers because of the record numerical profits Exxon-Mobil and other companies have seen in the first quarter this year. Rush’s point is:

The oil companies get 9 cents per gallon of gas in profit at the pump.
The Federal tax on gas [...]

CNN is bragging that they are the favorite network of the White House press corps. As if informing normal Americans that Helen Thomas and Dave Gregory prefer CNN will boost their ratings. If the networks ever start negative advertising, I think Fox News should produce a commercial to remind people about this.

Proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens often squawk that illegals perform jobs Americans refuse to do. I suppose intimidating businesses in cities across the country, including Providence, Rhode Island, is one of those jobs. Michael Graham of WTTK radio in Boston has been all over this thuggery on his radio show all week. It’s difficult [...]

Does anyone doubt that even the name She Who Must Not be Named uses will depend poll numbers?

Senator Limp Frist and some of the other mamby-pamby Republican Senators have proposed a clever conundrum for the Democrats: We’ll give people money back in the form of tax cuts for gas relief, IF you let us drill in ANWR.
Not bad…
It ain’t perfect, but it will call the Dems out… somewhat. All they’ll say is [...]

Fox News’ Tony Snow has been named the new White House Press Secretary. He is the perfect man for this job. He is poised, intelligent, unabashedly conservative, and has a good demeanor for dealing with the press. Tony Snow was a speech writer in the first Bush administration, the principle guest host for Rush Limbaugh [...]

William Hague, former leader of the British Conservative party, has called for stepping up the pressure on regimes who abuse human rights. Unlike former President Jimmy Carter, who pompously proclaims his superiority on this issue before kissing up to the Arafats, Castros and Chavezes of the world, Hague has backed up his rhetoric by proposing [...]

As Mark Levin would say, I think this woman attended charm school on a football scholarship. Zombie Time has video and a good roundup of the loon’s speech in Berkeley last month where she exclaimed her joy about speaking in “Smartland” and displayed her trademark dignity and grace. And to think the left was once [...]

Mary O. McCarthy should be in jail for a very long time. They used to say “loose lips sink ships” because people who are around sensitive intelligence should not be in the business of leaking info to the New York Slimes, the Washington Compost, or any other media source. Leaking actionable intelligence could kill people. [...]

I know its unlikely. After all pacifism seems to run through their bloodstream, but liberals could take tough stands against terrorism. Bill Kristol’s commentary on the Euston Manifesto, a statement of principles by prominent British leftists against tyranny, shows that it isn’t impossible for liberals to take a stand against evil in the world. As [...]

Combating higher gas prices should be a national priority. This is difficult to do because of the concept of supply and demand, market forces beyond the control of any one person or political movement. However, this issue is causing trouble for the party in power when it doesn’t have to. The President must renew his [...]

A coordinated terrorist attack killed 23 people and injured at least 150 in Dahab, Egypt yesterday. Three bombs, in different locations, left blood and body parts scattered in the streets. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this atrocity.
Coming two days after Al Jazeera aired an audio tape on which Osama Bin Laden [...]

Is law enforcement actually enforcing immigration laws? Without legislation sponsored by Democrats Ted Kennedy and John McCain? You mean we can actually enforce our borders with the laws already on the books? I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Actions like this will help the GOP keep its base in November. Imagine a Republican President who actually [...]

Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff told the press today that a raid across nine states yielded the largest single day illegal alien bust in recent American history. Seven executives were among those taken into custody!
I think this is a good start as long as perp walks follow– if there is no one willing to [...]

I’ve been ranting quite a bit lately on the state and need for improvement in Public Education, as well as the importance of Education in maintaining our status as Economic Superpower (both for economic and national security reasons). Today, thanks to my research expert (a.k.a. Mrs. Sal), I’m going to touch on the secularist worldview [...]

Harriet Reid is on record saying the U.S. cannot win a war in Iran because we wasted our resources in Iraq. So much for the Democrats being tough on National Security. Putting aside the fact that Reid believes the U.S. can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, his statement reveals the Democrats inability [...]

The people can elect a good government. The people can elect a bad government. In a democracy, the people can elect any kind of government they want according to whatever pre-established rules are in place. The people of Italy have elected a weak leader who will implement socialist policies which have failed every time and [...]

The government of Mexico has been very vocal in the recent illegal immigration debate, calling looking for leniency on current illegal immigrants, humane treatment of Mexican citizens here in the U.S. illegally, and a guest worker program to allow Mexican citizens to travel back and forth. However, Mexico apparently doesn’t practice what it preaches. In [...]

There is no need to put Strategery by Bill Sammon away in a lockbox. This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. I highly recommend it.
Sammon essentially leads the reader on a journey from John Kerry’s primary victories through the election of 2004 and into a good part of President Bush’s second [...]

I’m just kidding, but I wonder how the U.N. would settle this one? I bet they’d pass a resolution calling for the islands to fall under the sovereignty of North Korea.

The UK paper The Independent has a warning message for America: be careful, China may overtake the US economically by 2045. There are many reasons for the rise of China’s economy, some dubious (such as the controlling of the value of its currency against the U.S. Dollar) and some legitimate (opening up Free market capitalist [...]

President Bush claims that his nominee for White House Budget Director, Rob Portman, “will be a powerful voice for pro-growth policies and spending restraint.” Unfortunately we’ve heard promises of fiscal restraint from our President before. Yet, spending continues to grow at a pace which would make Walter Mondale proud.
The President’s political standing will only improve [...]
