If you needed any further proof that the UN is most definitely dysfunctional, prone to pandering to dictatorial regimes, and generally just so tone deaf to matters of common sense that they can’t be trusted to give you the time of day correctly then their election of Iran to their Commission on the Status of [...]
Being the techno-type that I am, this notice by HP of their intent to acquire Palm, Inc (makers of the original PDA, the Palm Pilot) caught my eye. HP is apparently going to pay about $1 billion in cash for the struggling handheld computer manufacturer. Palm got itself into position for a turnaround last year, [...]
Immediately following the passage of Obamacare into law, several companies reported major hits to their finances that were going to come as a result of the new law. Henry Waxman and other Democrats responded quickly, condemning the companies and accusing them of misreporting in order to make the new law look bad. Now comes a [...]
Obamacare was passed explicitly to “cover the uninsured” and reduce the costs of healthcare in America. Great goals, as we on the right have been saying all along, but the Obamacare package passed by Congressional Dems over the top of the American public’s majority opposition won’t do any of that. It will raise costs and [...]
Professor Jacobson of Legal Insurrection has taken note of CBS’s Marc Ambinder’s commentary lately. It is, I find, all too representative of leftish commentary today and Jacobson calls it dead on: Ambinder lives is a fantasy world where left-wing commentators (including Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow) are serious policy wonks, while all conservative commentators are [...]
The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) is a grassroots organization well known in Richmond for its dedication to supporting and defending Virginians’ 2nd Amendment rights.

I’m traveling on business this week but, unlike in the past, this should actually be good for my blogging. The schedule will likely offer me some time to comment on more of the current events and issues, so I’m hoping to get back into a regular groove. Stay tuned!
General Motors Corp. is apparently so flush with cash that they can take out a full-court press of an advertising campaign to announce to the public that they have now completely paid off their TARP loans – with interest and 5 years ahead of “schedule.” Sounds great, eh? Well, not so fast, there, partner. Let [...]
Prof. William Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection notes that although the media and the usual lefty sites loudly trumpet accusations of racism at the core of the Tea Party, when an actual white supremacist rally gets held – complete with actual violence – it doesn’t seem to get noticed. And that tells you something: How [...]
Word is coming out that the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Omar, is making noises about holding peace talks with “western politicians.” According to the reports, Omar no longer wants to rule Afghanistan: In an interview with The Sunday Times, two of the movement’s senior Islamic scholars have relayed a message from the Quetta shura, [...]
