You have got to be kidding me. When most of the terrorists are from Saudi Arabia, you don’t sell them arms.
These people are not our friends.
The Bush administration is preparing to ask Congress to approve an arms sale package for Saudi Arabia and its neighbors that is expected to eventually total $20 billion [...]

I received this in the email yesterday with this message:
(Original e-mail came from Windham, Maine)
I have never seen a newborn moose. This one was not even a half a mile from our house. The mother picked a small quiet neighborhood and had her baby in the front yard at 5:30 am. We were out bike [...]

Watch to the very end. You will be amazed.

Warning: Partisan Rant Follows:
I have suspected for a long time that NY Sen. Charles Schumer is really the one in charge in the Senate.
To me he’s an obnoxious partisan to the point of nothing I have ever seen recently.
Today he is quoted as saying the following:
New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a powerful member [...]

Sorry for the quick post but did not want to let this go without mention. Michael Totten is now reporting from Iraq while embedded with a unit in Baghdad.
This was a fascinating read and loaded with terrific pictures.
I found this paragraph and much of the article to be good news..I hope this trend [...]

Do they even care.
I don’t know what else to say. While our men are dying on their streets, they are showing a complete lack of urgency.
This isn’t a post against the war.
Missing from Thursday’s session of the Iraqi parliament were about half of the members, including the speaker, the former speaker and two former [...]

By now everyone knows Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are still arguing over an answer given in the YouTube debate on Monday night.
The question was: “Would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and [...]

That’s what usually happens when all you care about is the bottom line. I could be wrong but what else could explain it. Companies just don’t like to be regulated. I wonder who funds the political careers of people in Washington? Better yet, I wonder who they go to work for after [...]

Trying to figure out the Arab mind is like trying to figure out how God came about. I can’t fathom either, although I know God just always was and is.
I read this New York Times piece and I honestly can’t tell who’s telling the truth and who isn’t.
During a high-level meeting in Riyadh in [...]

AJ Strata hit the nail on the head today with this post. I was particularly impressed with this paragraph:
Most people are quite moderate in their views and open to discussion. I can force some banter through persistence, but it does take work. There are the exceptions, those very vocal. But they tend to be [...]

Sometimes the appearance of corruption is as bad as being involved in it. I’m glad that Sen. Murkowski is going to sell the property back.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said that she and her husband will sell back their Kenai riverfront property to Anchorage businessman Bob Penney.
Murkowski announced the give back a day after [...]

I must say it takes a lot to surprise me but this was totally shocking. Actually I used to watch it until I found out they voted Republican.
It was a moral quagmire no 10-year-old should be tortured by: On Thursdays at 8 o’clock, I could either pedal up Canyon Road to my Awana Club [...]

I can’t say as I blame them after the fiasco on Monday but come on guys suck it up and show what you’re made of.
Four days after the Democratic debate in Charleston, S.C,. more than 400 questions directed to the GOP presidential field have been uploaded on YouTube — targeted at Republicans scheduled to get [...]

I hated this man during Clinton’s impeachment. He worked for the Reagan administration, so he had to be a very partisan person. My better half would watch him on TV with me and always said that he was right and if I would only listen, I mean really listen I would see it.
Isn’t it strange [...]

This ABC News exclusive on the Pat Tillman case leads with these two paragraphs:
ABC News has learned that seven Army officers will receive career-ending administrative punishments for mishandling the Pat Tillman case. The Army has decided not to punish three other officers who had been accused of wrongdoing by the Pentagon inspector general.
None [...]

I got this in email today and thought it was cute enough to share:
Can you imagine yourself to be the nun that is sitting at her desk grading these papers all the while trying to keep a straight face and maintain her composure!
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU ARE EVEN [...]

It took disbarment and losing his job, along with the threat of being held in contempt of court for Mike Nifong, the disgraced former DA from Durham, NC, to finally admit there was no credible evidence against the three Duke lacrosse players he charged.
Disgraced former prosecutor Mike Nifong acknowledged Thursday there is “no credible evidence” [...]

We like to refer our readers to Michael Yon’s site because he is an on the spot reporter who takes photos, video and interviews Iraqis and American soldiers.
In short, he gives us a feel for the war in Iraq that no one else comes close to doing.
In today’s dispatch he talks of the different weapons [...]

In a piece for which I cannot figure out the reason the Washington Post today goes into the law career of Fred Thompson with the breathless headline, “No Easy Verdict on Thompson The Lawyer” with a subtitle of “Cases Indicate Willingness to Defy GOP Orthodoxy”.
It then goes on to tell us Thompson was opposed to [...]

When I was a child I heard stories of the little people and swear to this day, that while in the woods, I saw many.
The Little People of the Cherokee are a race of Spirits who live in rock caves on the mountain side. They are little fellows and ladies reaching almost to your knees. [...]

There has been an ongoing investigation on steroid use by baseball players which includes some of the biggest names in that game.
We have a professional football quarterback accused of running a dog-fighting ring, a professional basketball referee accused of fixing games which he officiated and now the Tour de France bicycle sport has had to [...]

Beginnings, fresh and clean, Part of the Sacred Wheel
Each morning is a new opportunity,
To share our love, our Souls, and Spirits,
With those who choose to Walk this Path along with us,
To learn the lessons of the Wheel, and grow closer,
To The One Who- Created- All.
Each day is fresh and [...]

With dwindling finances and many of his staff resigning I’m beginning to wonder how much longer John McCain will stay in the presidential race.
This Wall Street Journal report [Subscription may be required.] says McCain’s media team has quit.
Sen. John McCain’s well-known media team has resigned, an indication that his campaign shake-up is continuing to backfire [...]

When Bernie Sanders is against you, you know you have a problem.
Virtually all of Sen. Russ Feingold’s Democratic colleagues share his displeasure with President Bush.
But so far, only a handful seem prepared to even consider supporting his push for a nonbinding measure to censure Bush — an action that is forcing Democrats to choose [...]

Every one identified helps bring comfort and possibly closure to their families.
DNA experts have identified the remains of a 42-year-old brokerage executive who died on Sept. 11, 2001, and the medical examiner’s office announced the discovery of 35 new human bone fragments in an area near ground zero.
The latest Sept. 11 victim to [...]

Since the infamous YouTube gaff by Obama on Monday night things have been heating up between the Clinton campaign and Obama’s.
In separate interviews with the Quad-City Times today, Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tangled over Obama’s statement at the YouTube debate Monday that he would be willing to meet in the [...]

Isn’t this exciting?
Mayor Bloomberg insists he’s not running for President, but he has put a provocatively named mike2008.com Web site on the Internet.
It links directly to Bloomberg’s recently relaunched personal Web site, mikebloomberg.com, where Hizzoner keeps the public posted on the causes he’s supported in business, philanthropy and government.
Bloomberg spokesman Robert Lawson said the mayor’s [...]

I guess someone thinks a man’s word is everything. I know you’re going to say that they’re not the first to change after being confirmed and you’re right but that means they’re all alike. I don’t believe that.
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) plans to review the Senate testimony of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John [...]

Seems to be working just fine.
Standing on the south bank of the Fraser River a stone’s throw from the Vancouver International Airport, Dr. Hadi Dowlatabadi motions toward the frenetic activity at the Olympic speed skating oval construction site. “This exercise is about as valuable an experiment as I could have done in my academic career,” [...]
