A long but worth reading article by Andrew C. McCarthy on International Law & Red Cross on National Review Online. While Bush didn’t actually withdraw the U.S. from Kyoto he did withdraw our signature and support of the International Crimal Courts and for good reason.

So I read Krugmans article and think to myself I could write a few choice words on this! But thankfully I wandered past Powerline first who pointed out Luskin’s rebuttal on NRO and saved me the trouble.
Suffice it to say I think Social Security being a “little” in trouble is like being a “little” pregnant…

Rather than face the horrors of the nomination process again Judge Pickering is stepping down at the end of the term.
“The bitter fight over judicial confirmations threatens the quality and the independence of the judiciary. The mean-spiritedness and lack of civility reduces the pool of nominees willing to offer themselves for service on the […]

And another… Meteorologist Likens Fear of Global Warming to ‘Religious Belief’. It is religious… worship of goddess “Gia” aka “mother earth”.

Hm… There Is NO Man-Made Global Warming. Ya don’t say….

It still amazes me how so much can be conveyed in a single one-frame cartoon from those such as Gary Varvel and Cox & Forkum. So today I am quite pleased to discover and add The Ryskind Sketchbook to my daily bookmark list. Be sure to check out the archives.

It has been obvious for a long time that Norman Mineta should have been replaced years ago. The man has proven that he cannot be objective in persuing the security needs of the United States. His own experiences during the Japanese internment have clouded his judgement and tainted policies to the detrement of us all. […]

Ann Coulter calls liberals to account for their new and improved racism. Spot on as usual.

Interesting that English has become such a dominate language. The article notes the other languages emerging as dominate players such as Chinese and Spanish due to their emerging industrialization and the businesses driving it.
But the part the article misses is that a large degree of why English is becoming so dominate is technology as […]

Let the liberals rant about “No Child Left Behind”. Their gripe is that they only got $XX dollars in federal funding when they wanted twice that or more. Plus they wanted more oversight at the Federal level than the Bush Administration.
But that’s only the half of it for President Bush angered not only […]

Two must reads, the ever so enlightening Henry Lamb on Kyoto: Tightening the screws and what exactly it will cost.
Although the intellectually lazy media is reporting that Bush pulled us out fhe negociations (oh that it were true!) America has the largest contingent in Argintina for the summit. And some of the biggest […]

Seems I’m not the only one who liks what I see in Novell’s Enterprise Linux offering.

We used to sit around the lunch table and joke about “suicide hotline, hold please”. Turns out that’s actually how they do it in China these days.
Must be an update to China’s strict “reproduction” policies….

Soros and crew want marijuana legalized so even more Americans are this brain dead.

Here comes Microsoft late to the party as usual. Mom’s & kids may well like their service but those already on (or predate) the blogging bandwagon aren’t going to change from their better tools.

Might as well have Saddam come and teach us how to prosecute his crimes.

And that word is DUH!!

Interesting that Annan should gain the support of his co-conspirators. Surprise! Sort of like Bonnie backing up Clyde and just as credible.

The American Soldier is very simply a different breed and little points that out better than this.

Looks like one of Clinton’s pardoned perps may have gotten his hand caught in the Oil-For-Food cookie jar. But then what does Clinton care? He’s got his library and Hillary is out of his hair off playing senator.

I guess it was all those assault rifles….

Ah yes, but because it’s France who cares? Only American “Imperialism” is evil. French Imperialism is Okey-Dokey. Opening fire on disenting civilians is OK, too.

Russia’s new shuttle looks vaguely familiar. I wonder if they got the plans from China - part of Clinton’s “buy 3 ICBM technologies and get the Shuttle plans for free” deals? I hope they at least got the plans with the updated O-rings.

Hm.. funny that the news of Cannabis linked to mental illness risk isn’t everywhere. Chances are that the mainstream press in America will push it under the rug or give minimal coverage since it’s counter to what George Soros, and many pot-heads, want - legalized pot in the US.
I’ve known pot heads over […]

That’s it. They’ve gone totally stark raving mad as hatters in Europe.
Instead of suing the “evil” greenhouse gas emmitters over the “warming” that caused their relatives deaths why not sue the EU nations that voluntarily implemented Kyoto thus raising the cost of energy beyond what the dead relatives could afford for their air conditioners.
Not to […]
