Christmas in Cambodia?

One part of Kerry’s story about Christmas in Cambodia that doesn’t make sense to me (not that much of his story makes sense) is why there were lots of South Vietnamese soldiers celebrating Christmas. While there are certainly Christians in SV, the predominant religion of the time there was Buddism, and still is. The French […]

Furry WMD

Did you see that in the paper the other day about those carp in the Mississippi River jumping into boats and bonking fisherman in the head? It’s true. They’re called big head carp, they’re from Asia and they’re attacking and severely injuring many fisherman. Biologists claim the roar of boat motors agitates and excites these […]

Swift Boat Veterans

Everyone has discussed the SBV’s, and their allegations about Kerry. You can find some great articles at Instapundit, QandO, Captains Quarters, and many others, as well as the Swift Boat Veterans website, which I have added to my links of interest. On a separate issue, the Left has made an enormous effort to discredit the […]

Kerry’s Iraq Plan

John Kerry’s Iraq “plan,” such as it is, is sure not winning over many converts. Considering that it is really only a souped up version of President Bush’s plan, it sure hasn’t made any friends. His whole “I can do better” rhetoric has gone by the wayside. As has already been pointed out a few […]

Quick Hit

Looks like all those countries (France and Germany) love Kerry and Hate Bush. Wasn’t aware that they were eligible to vote in the US. However, and more to the point, doesn’t look like any of them want to help the US in Iraq, whether it is Kerry or Bush, according to the LA Times. Lots […]

Silly

Will the Honorable Corrine Brown vote with this method? Ok, so it is silly. And we do not need it in most Florida precincts. Just some of the Democratically run ones.

Tax Code a Mess

H.R. 1308, Tax Relief, Simplification, and Equity Act of 2003 (Introduced in House) is just another example of how far removed the tax code is from reality, and how difficult it can be. SEC. 503. REPEAL OF EXCISE TAX ON FISHING TACKLE BOXES. The is a problem when the US House takes up the issue […]

No longer Lt(jg) Flip Flop

From the Boston Globe: “We didn’t have the patience, we didn’t have the maturity, to exhaust the remedies available to us and truly build that coalition and understand the nature of the threat,” Kerry said. 12 years of sanctions. 12 years of Saddam stonewalling inspector. 12 years of sanctions violations by Saddam. Etc. I would […]

There Goes the Oil Issue.

In an article for Stars and Stripes, John Kerry makes a major mistake, and refutes one of the Lefts major arguments about the war in Iraq: Kerry: I think in the first war, their oil was a critical consideration, because Saddam Hussein’s intent was to take over the oil fields. Jim Baker said publicly that […]

Kerry on the Stump

Talk about taking a page from Michael Moore, Kerry is complaining about Bush’s reaction in that Florida schoolroom. “Had I been reading to children, and had my top aide whispered in my ear, ‘America is under attack,’ I would have told those kids very politely and nicely that the president of the United States had […]
