Coulter: This is not a drill
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 17 Jul 2008 10:32 PM EDT
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or as she is called on the Big Dogs blog, "the worst speaker in the history of Congress," explained the cause of high oil prices back in 2006: "We have two oilmen in the White House. The logical follow-up from that is $3-a-gallon gasoline. It is no accident. It is a cause and effect. A cause and effect." Yes, that would explain why the price of oral sex, cigars and Hustler magazine skyrocketed during the Clinton years. Also, I note that Speaker Pelosi is a hotelier ... and the price of a hotel room in New York is $1,000 a night! I think she might be onto something. More>>>

on Thu 17 Jul 2008 10:15 PM EDT
Californians will get to vote in November on a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, the state Supreme Court decided Wednesday. In a unanimous order, without comment, the court dismissed a lawsuit by gay rights advocates seeking to remove an initiative sponsored by conservative religious groups from the Nov. 4 ballot. The measure, Proposition 8, would overturn the court's 4-3 ruling May 15 that allowed gay and lesbian couples to marry in California More>>>

by

on Thu 17 Jul 2008 09:41 PM EDT

Natural gas dropped more than 7 percent after a government report showed that U.S. supplies rose a greater-than-forecast 104 billion cubic feet last week...''The rout in natural gas is pulling oil lower'' More>>>

Some finding Gore’s timing inconvenient
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 17 Jul 2008 09:05 PM EDT
The question some Democrats have is whether a high-profile speech about the importance of protecting the environment might be exploited by Republicans who want to portray their ideological opponents as caring more about polar bears than Americans who have had to pay record prices for gasoline.

by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 17 Jul 2008 09:00 PM EDT
Republicans say instead of spending money to curb demand, Democrats should think about boosting supply. Republicans insist it’s time to drill for more oil on American soil. They have adopted an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy policy that includes expanded domestic drilling as well as conservation and development of energy alternatives. More>>>

Congress to clear Obama's FIFTY BILLION DOLLAR AIDS bill
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 17 Jul 2008 08:43 PM EDT
The Senate passed its bill Wednesday by 80-16. The measure would authorize $48 billion over the next five years to fight AIDS and other diseases overseas. The House Foreign Affairs Committee said it would accept the Senate version. The House on April 2 passed its own bill by 308-116. The Senate bill would repeal a ban on HIV-positive visitors to the United States. The ban has been in place since 1987 and the United States is one of only 12 countries that still have such a law.

Al Qaeda May Be Its Own Worst Enemy
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 17 Jul 2008 07:56 PM EDT
THESE days in Peshawar, where al-Qaeda was founded 20 years ago, the only glimpse of Osama bin Laden comes on little green packets of safety matches strewn around town by American officials (see picture). They bear the portrait of the world’s most wanted man, along with the promise that America will pay up to $5 million for information leading to his capture. It is an appropriate image. Like one of these matches, Mr bin Laden caused a flash with the September 11th attacks on America in 2001, then vanished into smoke, leaving a burning trail of militancy stretching from Indonesia to Afghanistan, Iraq, north Africa and Europe. And despite the reward offered for his capture, now $25m, nobody has yet betrayed the whereabouts of “the Sheikh”, who periodically emerges on the internet to deliver some doom-laden warning to the West.

The Tree Goats of Morocco

These Moroccan goats you see in the photos climb the Argan trees with incredible ease, in order to get to the delicious fruits that the locals use to make oil. I knew some things about goats, but the fact that they climb trees was not one of them. And before you start yelling “It’s photoshopped!” check out the video at the bottom of the article. More>>>
Lisa Fabrizio: Big O Losing Big Mo?

Poor Barack Obama. In the space of a few short weeks, he has gone from liberal savior with a 15-point lead over John McCain, to a mere mortal in a dead heat in the polls. He has alienated some of his base by flip-flopping on issues like the FISA vote, partial-birth abortion and most importantly, stating that he will continue to “refine” his Iraq War policy. In addition to his change of position on issues, he’s been slapped down by German Chancellor Angela Merkel on his plans to conduct a photo-op at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, had his call for bilingualism rejected by 83% of voters polled and been vocally castrated by his predecessor as the so-called voice of American blacks.

"All I want is for my children to get the best education they can." That statement, along with so many others, has been a consistent one that I've heard on my radio show and in discussions with parents for years, especially those whose children are stuck in inner-city schools with decrepit buildings and a lack of critical resources.

The District of Columbia Council planned to vote Tuesday on emergency legislation to allow handguns, but only if they are used for self-defense in the home and carry fewer than 12 rounds of ammunition.

Shiver: Call Me a Proud, Scared Conservative
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 17 Jul 2008 01:50 AM EDT
Since the day I visited Barack Obama's church home in Chicago last January, listened to Jeremiah Wright, read a slew of the books in the "church" bookstore and then most of what I could find on the abbreviated history of this candidate for the Presidency, I have believed that America as we now know it could completely cease to exist within a very short time under his leadership,....

AP's DeSilva's critique of new crime novel "Empire of Lies"...or is it of its author?
by

on Thu 17 Jul 2008 01:00 AM EDT
Klavan occupies the portion of the political spectrum commonly known as right-wing crackpot. Through Harrow he tells us, among other things, that the entire media is a left-wing conspiracy, that taxes steal from the rich to give to the poor, that America is in a holy war with Islam, that the truth about darned near everything in the United States is obscured by a blizzard of politically correct lies and that anyone who disagrees with him is deluded...
