Mt St Helens has been rumbling a bit over the past several days and today there have been a number of serious quakes including a magnitude 6.0 in central California.
I don’t know that the ripples around St Helens and California are even related but considering they’re on the same fault line I have to wonder. […]

It appears that the Oakland Mayor thought the suspension of DUI checkpoints because the local latino advocates were concerned over the number of no-license, no-insurance latinos caught in them. ( previously commented on as Stupid PC Police Chief Tricks )

“These checkpoints make people’s lives miserable, not make them safer,” said Jesus Rodriguez […]

Chris Horner unleashes yet another shot across the bow of Kyoto with Kyotonomics Debunked.
Of the 38 countries that “agree in principle” to hike energy prices 15 are part of the EU and only 2 of those who have undertaken to comply with Kyoto on their own have done so.
Other than 10 percent […]

This has to have the Global Warming fraudsters sweating.

NOAA scientists report that the average temperature for the contiguous United States for June-August (based on preliminary data) was 71.1 degrees F (21.7 degrees C), which was 1.0 degree F (0.6 degrees C) below the 1895-2003 mean, and the 16th coolest summer on record. The […]

Go ahead Chuckie we Republicans would happily take another 30 seats in the House. Which is exactly what happened when you shoehorned that monstrosity through in 1994, remember?

When it comes to the high cost and low supply-side sensitivity in the oil market I’m of 2 minds. The first thought is in that our own futures markets are largely what is driving the demand it’s all just another big Soros plot.
But the other side is that it’s Economic Warfare 301. We can […]

So you’re a police chief in Oakland. You’re running DUI roadblocks and besides drunks you’re catching a lot of illegal hispanics without drivers licenses and insurance. The local hispanic community complains that these check points are “making life miserable for illegal immigrants”. What do you do??
Suspend the checkpoints for a month.
I wish I were […]

But not for long… Nothing like pointing out our mistake in bothering to take prisoners. We need to stop being such women and kill the enemy when and where we find him. The enemy will do no less to us.

It is scary how easily illegal aliens can vote thanks to the Liberal “civil rights” groups. Only 10 states require any form of citizenship documentation when registering to vote. That’s 40 states too few.
Everyone has to register to vote at some point in their lives. We have to produce birth certificates or green […]

It seems the media is questioning CBS’s decision to shelve their report on the “rationale for the war in Iraq” and the lack of “weapons of mass destruction”. It’s as if the media is building up a demand so CBS can appear “forced” to air the piece after the pieces foundations have long been debunked. […]

I have never agreed with Governor Kernan on anything but having heard him speak I did have a grudging respect for him as a man, misguided though he may be. But now, after all these months of a good, clean race between him and Mitch Daniels it’s Kernan that has taken the low, deceiptful […]

Wow, there are a few responsible journalists out there. And more surprisingly they’re in Britian! Turns out it was a Brit newspaper with a insider that lead to.. Four Held Over Alleged Dirty Bomb Plot in Britain

As Firefox draws near it’s 1.0 release interest in this young browser is taking off due in no small part to Microsoft’s inept handling of security issues.
Microsoft confirmed this week, however, that the service pack with browser upgrades will only be available to users running Windows XP, meaning anyone with an older operating […]

One of the problems with replacing Outlook with Mozilla’s Thunderbird is the calendar…. But a little digging found that, not surprisingly, I’m far from the first to notice. So if you’re looking for an Outlook calendar replacement be sure to give it a try…

It seems the Gmail beta is still by invite only, have you gotten your invite yet?? You can if you help out the Spread Firefox campaign. Considering the way Microsoft is acting with their updates and how corporations and governments are recommending against the use of IE or even banning it’s use it’s time for […]

So you want a secure computer system but haven’t spent the money to upgrade to Windows XP? Microsoft is saying tough, secure IE is for XP only. Nothing like supporting your customer base, eh? Well if you’re not ready to spend more money on Microshaft software you can still safely browse the Internet […]

“We Iraqis know that Americans have made and continue to make enormous sacrifices to liberate Iraq, to assure Iraq’s freedom. I have come here to thank you and to promise you that your sacrifices are not in vain.” — Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi

Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) has filed a

After an all-star performance at the convention the Gubenator has used his momentum to show how much of a RINO he really is. I hope you Kalifornians didn’t want to buy a .50 caliber rifle because now you cannot. The amount of hype in this is extraordinary as these big .50 BMG rifles […]

Prime Minister Allawi is in Washington D.C. today.
“Today, we are better off, you are better off, the world is better off without Saddam Hussein,” Allawi said. He added: “Your decision to go into Iraq was not an easy one, but it was the right one.”
Thank you Prime Minister. It is too bad that the political […]

As I delete yet another piece of spam touting a sure-fire method of preventing those pesky speed cameras from getting a picture of your license plate I remembered something that occured to this evening on the way home.
The new Indiana license plates are flat, completely flat. The letters/numbers are not raised as for […]

Kerry Spot has a great rundown on Kerry’s Bush will bring back the draft statements.
What next, is Kerry going to denounce the U.S. Postal Service’s plan to tax e-mail?
On top of that Kerry must have missed the memo… it’s the rabid left who is trying to reinstate the draft.

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! Shocked to discover the ACLU would misrepresent the facts to get political points against Bush.
Ok, so I’m not really surprised…. it’d be hard for the “civil rights” organization that finds “privacy” in the First Amendment yet disavows the existance of the Second Amendment to swing so far Left […]

Hokey though it was I loved this movie but I don’t think I could handle it as a musical. It just wouldn’t be the same without Robert Preston anyway.
