President Obama’s choice of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David Souter is yet another attempt at pandering to a goodly swath of voters. Latinos are no doubt happy with his choice; I’m sure they’ll vote accordingly. Sotomayor , however, describes herself as “the perfect product of Affirmative Action; (I’m) an Affirmative Action baby . My test scores were not as high as some of my colleagues at Princeton and Yale…” ...

The wife and I attended a Midnight showing of the new "Star Trek" movie last night. As a lifelong Trekker, I'd been doing some serious geeking out, in these last few weeks, anticipating the rebirth of my love. But for diehard Treknerds like myself, it all comes down to this quote, from director JJ Abrams: ""I was never really a fan of 'Star Trek,' ". And that says everything. In some interviews, it is revealed that the cast and crew are seemingly somewhat contemptuous of their Trek ...

I've been at this blogging game for several years, now; in fact, I was introduced to the blogosphere right here, on good ole JU. Thanks, Drag!                                                           &nbs...

I recently found myself in a rather odd situation; that is, actually agreeing with a Democratic Senator. That’s right…..and it felt strange. My world was upside down; I felt as if I was going a little crazy. But no..... I actually agreed with Sen. Robert Byrd, when he said that Obama appointing “czars” of health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change would amount to a “power grab” by the Executive Branch. Byrd said that such positions...

Random Thoughts: After Obama’s first speech before Congress, even conservative and Republican pundits and leaders couldn’t wait to jump on the “History-in-the Making” Obama Praisewagon. Will this endless worship never end? It’s gotten old. The liberals are even worse, of course. Although, after eight years of despising and denigrating the President with barely-contained hysterics and outrage in the name of “objective journalism”, I suppose one could ...

It becomes ever clearer where the priorities of the Obama Administration lie; not satisfied with merely cutting the defense budget---in wartime, mind you---by $55 billion, the Justice Dept. recently, and very quietly, moved agents from counter-terrorism to anti-fraud. That's right; instead of watching for terrorists who want to kill you and destroy our nation, they'll instead be looking for people (especially rich people, bet on it)who are stealing money.  &nbs...

So the octuplet mom now has 14 kids. or, perhaps I should say, the people of California now have 8 more. Now, I have little doubt that most people would call it just a tad unethical, and in some places illegal, for any doctor to implant that many embryos at one time, in a woman who can't afford the 6 she already has. It's one thing to HAVE 8 kids at one time; that can't be helped, if nature takes that course.  But to have 8 embryos IMPLANTED?    &nbs...

As a kind of corollary to my last post, Check this out: http://news.aol.com/article/people-igno ... eet/325776 Wow...and here, all this time, I thought that Obama's ascension to the Throne and its accompanying do-gooder vibe was supposed to suddenly make us all care about each other, and help each other, and want to stand around holding hands, singing "Kum ba Yah"...and here, we have this. What went wrong? And gosh! It happened in DC! Right from where the awesome power of O...

It's pitiful, really, how shameless some will be, when it comes to the war of ideas. Truth and clarity are often secondary considerations, when it comes to obtaining funds and winning hearts and minds. For example: To be considered “hungry” in America, you must miss at least….one meal a month. That’s right, that’s the standard; one meal in 30 days, to be considered “hungry” by the Dept. of Health and Human Resources. By that criterion,...

You know, the Nazis actually passed an "anti-kitsch law", prohibiting stuff like this......(click link)   Wonder if the Obama Regime will do the same?   (By the way, you do realize what the first item displayed is, right?)

From patriotpost.com: PATRIOT PERSPECTIVE Ushering in the error of Obama By Mark Alexander The inauguration-ordination-coronation of Barack Obama on Tuesday was heralded by his fawning media as nothing less than a "messianic" revival, with endless inaugural balls and star-studded celebrations on either end. Strange, but I seem to recall that the Leftmedia skewered George W. Bush for spending almost $40 million on his first inauguration, proclaiming the events to be "grotesque" a...

Well, okay....maybe that subtitle is somewhat premature. Hamas' leadership has declared itself the victor in the recent clash, pointing out that, despite Israel's more successful attacks and the resulting body count, they failed to acheive their goals. They said that historians for generations to come will long be writing of this great victory. Thing is, the same kinds of people who laughed when Nixon declared victory in Vietnam will undoubtedly nod their heads in agreement with this one. ...

I'm listening to the news, and they just did a story on a company recalling all these different kinds of crackers. Now...what's up with that? The day before they swear in a black man for President of the US, they go out, roundin' up a buncha Crackers! I just don' like it......

London Daily Mail editorial 1/6/2009 Obama's Victory--A British view A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but woul...
