Jude Wanniski has written an excellent piece on Greenspan and the his position on the gold standard. Yes, at first I was shocked to hear Greenspan say he did not see any circumstances that would require the dollar to be fixed to gold again, as it had been for most of our history until President [...]
Zell Miller has an excellent op-ed on why Firearms firms need protection. In protest of this legislation a Gun Control Group Files New Lawsuits but the point their making, simply by reading the article, proves the need for S397. S397 is up for a vote in the Senate today, call your Senator.
After the untenable accusations thrown against Rove fell cleanly from Rove, Biden using the Plame Game again as an excuse to continue holding up John Bolton’s confirmation. This is typical Biden political chicanery and goes to pattern that Dem’s believe anything a Bush appointee or staffer says is a huge lie just waiting to be [...]
Every so often a small Muslim group, typically in America, will condemn terror as the vile thing that it is and counter to Islamic teaching. After the London bombings there were a few more, mostly hushed by the mainstream thus leaving not necessarily their sincerity but their comprehension of their own religion in doubt. Especially [...]
The Japanese have develop ‘female’ android. For what I’m not quite sure but the pictures look like a person. [Gratuitous Star Trek reference::Dr. Noonien Soong]

It’s 11:30PM and “six or seven” under age teens are out throwing eggs at passing cars? Where were the parents? Even worse, while the guy that shot them excercised incredibly poor judgement and [...]
Ignore Unsubscribe requests too many times and you’re likely to be unsubscribed yourself. Maybe I need an “Irony” or “Poetic Justice” category?
I’m sure American Liberals are salivating over Castro’s ability to crackdown on Dissidents in Cuba. Amazing that anyone would hold this guy up as a model but much of the Left in America do. Unfortunately many in South America are starting to as well.
I can’t help but be amused to see the resurrection of the Stevens Favorite in various calibers. They were neat little guns but 20 years ago when someone would bring a broken one into the shop for repair they were not worth fixing.
