Missing the Point

Filed under John Kerry
Comments Off

The hoopla over a minor story like whether John Kerry threw medals or ribbons over a fence in 1971 misses a bigger point. Wasn’t his action thoroughly despicable? Doing what he did is on par with burning an American flag, legal but reprehensible. The day before, Kerry had his chance to petition his government by […]

Speechless

Emily reports on her experience at yesterday’s pro-abortion march.
Then there’s this sad comment on two letters expressing post-abortion regret:
While they regret their abortions, those who value sanity should not. When I read their letters all I can think is how lucky we are that these women did not have their babies. They are far too […]

Pulling out the Big Guns

Michele’s display of cleavage a Red Sox cap inspired me. I hearby declare that for a $50 donation to SOA I will show my (fake) love for either the evil Chicago Bears and/or the even more evil Minnesota Vikings by wearing a cap or shirt–then promptly burning it. (Sorry Michiganers, I won’t bother with the […]

Carroll Speaks

Filed under Sports
Comments Off

I hope the Packers’ first round pick Ahmad Carroll can play because he certainly has the mouth. He had this to say about last year’s infamous fourth-and-26 play against the Eagles:
You know, we’re not going to let that happen this year. We can’t dwell on the past. It’s a new day and it’s a new […]

Packers Draft: Day 2

Filed under Sports

The Packers have one pick left and still haven’t taken anyone on offense. Mike Sherman better have a good explanation. Supposedly, this draft was loaded with wide receivers, yet the Pack found none to their liking.

Price Drop

Filed under Weblogging

Being an amateur economist, I understand the law of demand. People are willing to buy more of a good at a lower price than a higher one. Since no one has taken me up on my “Donate for Doughnuts” offer, I’m lowering the price. The first five to donate $15 or more to SOA will […]

Packers Draft: Day 1

Filed under Sports
Comments Off

This year’s NFL is suppose to be loaded with wide receivers. Since I’m not sold on their current batch of WRs I’m worried that Mike Sherman focused too much on defense. Two cornerbacks, a defensive tackle, and a punter were drafted by the Pack. No receivers or quarterbacks in that mix. That’s not to denigrate […]

It’s Come Down to Stripping Already

Dean Esmay’s wife, Rosemary, is pulling out the big guns (pun intended). A $10 donation will get you some skin. If I wasn’t on a (soon-to-be) winning team, my Alexander Hamilton would be headed her way.
Oh, by the way, I’m still offering doughnuts. Boy, do I feel inadequate now.

Everybody Wins

What’s wrong? Nobody like doughnuts? Have my readers all gone on low-carb diets? No one has taken me up on my Krispy Kreme offer. Even if you don’t like the golden glazed goodies (Heretic!), please generously donate to Spirit of America. With your gift our troops win, liberated Iraqis win, and the Victory Coalition wins.
