Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off

The French are ashamed, other European leaders are picking sides, and people riot in the streets. All this is because a mere 17% of French voters chose Jean-Marie Le Pen for president. In France, a tiny minority make a protest vote against rising crime and European integration and all hell breaks loose. (Kind […]

Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off

Well, despite what knee-jerk Clinton defenders said, vandalism did take place by staffers leaving before Pres. Bush’s crew arrived in the White House. Of course, mentioning this could be considered “divisive” in this time of national crisis, but it wouldn’t be as divisive as the actions that took place.
“Damage to White House Cited” [via […]

Comments Off

Time reports that pilots still don’t feel safe in the air. An airline consultant recently demonstrated that any number of ordinary items could be used to kill a pilot. Anecdotes show that federal government efforts at security seem keystone cop-ish at best. A solution is to allow pilots to be armed. […]

Kudlow has to get into

Comments Off

Kudlow has to get into some policy position. He understands that tax cuts lead to economic growth. He also has the courage to stand up to Leftist class warriors who constantly moan the mantra that tax cuts only help the rich.
I’ve been pushing Kudlow to be the next Fed chief, but I’ll take […]

What should one make of

Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off

What should one make of Gov. Gary Johnson (R-NM) after he says drug reform is the “biggest issue facing the country today that actually has a solution”? Does he not remember 9.11? Does he forget that the U.S. is at war? Sure, drug reform deserves an intelligent debate. It’s an issue […]

A computer with the power

A computer with the power of a desktop, the portability of a PDA, and a spiffy look: WOW! I’m drooling, and with a $1000, I could actually afford it.
Imagine the journalistic/weblogging possibilities. Someone could have documented the real-time chaos happening after that plane crashed into the building in Milan. If that person […]

The Israelis really believe they have the goods linking Arafat to terrorism. Why else would they be offering the U.S. both documents in Arabic and translated?
The NY Times story also offers Israel’s sketch of how Palestinan terrorist cells operate.

All is well in the land of tea and crumpets. After getting some sleep to combat a hard case of jetlag, I’m ready to play the role of the typical American tourists. Museums are on tap today.
On a completely different note, if I ever have problems with my batting stance or jump shot. […]

For at least a week, Israel was free of suicide bombers. I thought Operation Defensive Shield might be preventing future attacks. Maybe it has, and now Palestinian terrorists have regrouped. What this attack does is give Sharon even more impetus to continue the operation and defy President Bush.

New Yorkers are thinking right about how to replace the World Trade Center. Two tall towers to replace the fallen ones aren’t needed in a city with plenty of vacant office space. Instead, a number of smaller buildings are in the works. Along with them there should be a memorial that remembers […]

Louis Rukeyser will be taking on his old show. It’s no surprise that CNBC picked him up. Rukeyser has a loyal following. What is surprising is CNBC is offering Louis Rukeyser’s Wall Street to any PBS station that wants it.
The Rukeyser intelligent faith in markets will continue along with his (in)famous puns. […]

The Pulitzers have been announced. All the big newspapers got one. I’m more interested in the book awards. There was no surprise in the biography category. David McCullough won for his best seller John Adams. I would have guessed that Edmund Morris’ Theodore Rex would have been his closest rival, […]

The altered logo up in the corner doesn’t mean TAM is growing closer to Mother England. Sure, I really appreciate the way Tony Blair has stood strong with the U.S. in the war. He’s been loud about need to use military force to stop this assault on the West.
The logo doesn’t mean I’m […]

Comments Off

Bill Clinton can’t handle this news. He wants us all to love him for the miserable lout (friends would say rogue) he is. Just imagine the sympathy-inducing cant he’ll put in his memoir to make us all understand why he did what he did. He’ll really want us to “feel his pain.”
“Clinton’s […]
