In his speech last night, President Bush reiterated his statement once again that we will stay until the end in Iraq; that we will leave troops their as long as necessary. And what exactly are our goals in Iraq? How will we know when the time is right to withdraw? Here is what President Bush [...]

Chief Justice William Rehnquist is expected to resign before the next Supreme Court session begins. Assuming that this happens, it will leave President Bush with two decisions to make. First, he needs to decide who to appoint to fill the court vacancy. Second, he needs to promote one of the nine justices to Chief justice.

Yesterday, Billy Graham preached what is possibly his last sermon at one of his Crusades. As the New York Times article speculated, one of the reasons for this enduring appeal is his attempt to avoid controversial issues. If you listen to Rev.

The Bush Administration’s ability to deflect criticism is at time awe-inspiring.
Take the Guantanamo Bay Prison story. Abuses at Guantanamo, and other newly constructed prison camps, have been widely reported from a variety sources. The Bush Administration first denies all of them, repeating over and over that the sources are not credible and that the prisoner’s [...]

The darkest chapters in American history always start with an exaggeration. Indians are threatening to over-run our frontier. Carpet-baggers are destroying the South. Japanese spies have infiltrated the West Coast. Soviet sympathizers are working in the State Department. None of these statements were out-right false at their time. There were Native American raids on frontier [...]

The absurdity of our media and our politicians is sometimes overwhelming.
FOX News just reported that, while the FBI had offered their assistance to the Aruban government in the case of the Alabama girl who has disappeared, the Aruban police have been reportedly slow to take up the offer. FOX presented this as possible evidence that [...]

Because its never too early, lets talk a little about the next presidential election. And, there are no logical choices for either party’s candidate, for the first time in a very long time. It seems as if Clinton vs McCain is the most likely matchup. The Republicans are going to have a very difficult time [...]

I was planning on writing a rant against Lou Dobbs today. For those who don’t know, Lou Dobbs is one of CNN’s prime time talk-show hosts, and his big issue is how globalization, free-trade, immigration, and really any dealings at all that we have with the rest of the world, are the root of all [...]
