Mixing politics and religion Obama-style
Remember all the fuss last December over the bookshelves in this Mike Huckabee Christmas greeting ad? Liberals were all upset at Huckabee's "subliminal" attempt to mix politics and religion (in a Christmas greeting, no less).

Huckabee for Veep? Yuck!
If this story is true, John McCain is about to make it utterly impossible for me (and lots of other libertarian, classical liberal, and economic conservative types) to vote for him: Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is at the ...

Obama on judges
Maybe if I read the following CNN transcript excerpt every day until the election, it will motivate me to vote for McCain: BLITZER: You used to teach constitutional law. OBAMA: Yes. BLITZER: You know a lot about the Supreme Court. And the next ...

Happy 60th, Israel!
In the Hebrew calendar, May 8 is 3 Iyar, 5768, and Yom HaAtzma'ut -- Israel Independence Day. Sixty years ago (it was May 14, 1948, in the Western calendar), the British lowered their flag and withdrew from Palestine, and the Jewish community...

Shredding scissors
An ad insert in yesterday's paper made me laugh out loud. This has to be one of the dumbest products I've seen in ages. It looks like something you'd see in a Saturday Night Live parody commercial. A quick Google search determined that...

Hillary is not running to lose
I heard an interesting Obama supporter on the radio this morning. He argued that he and millions like him are justifiably "disgusted" with America and feel like they're living in an "occupied" country. He said there's ...

Obama's bitter roots
Last Saturday, one of our breakfast group said something along the lines of "can you believe Hillary's trying to make a big deal out of Obama saying some Americans are bitter?" This was news to us, but we agreed it seemed silly and ...

Blogging with a grammatical focus
My blog would undoubtedly attract more readers if (besides posting more regularly and frequently) I were more focused -- posting on one topic, not 20 or 30. But that's just not me. I may go through periods of focus on a topic, but eventually ...

Marathon (old) man
Buster Martin is reportedly Britain's oldest worker at the age of 101. It's not a desk job, either. He cleans vans three days a week for a plumbing company. If his age is accurate, Martin set another record on Saturday, completing the ...

More manufacturing jobs lost
In the last five years, another American manufacturing industry has quietly been decimated, and more well-paying American jobs have been lost. And once again, the Federal government is doing nothing to save these American jobs. In fact, it's ...

Minnesota's taxpayer-funded madrassa
Imagine a public charter school filled with Christian symbols, where learning how to be a good Christian and practicing Christian rituals were part of the school day, where Christian ministers led daily prayers that all students had to attend, and...

Lady Vols repeat!
Offensive powerhouse Stanford had scored 90 in each of the last two games, and most people thought they'd easily beat a Tennessee team that squeaked by LSU on a last-second shot, whose star player was recovering from two shoulder dislocations.

Condi for Veep?
The possibility of a McCain-Rice ticket came up in the comments to this post a couple of weeks ago. I noted, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that "'McCain-Rice 2008' fits nicely on bumper stickers." Now, according to Ron Kessler, ...
