Treeing Government

This picture, one that I took in Panama City a few years back, reminds me of the last description of the end of time for Earth as H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, where the time traveler is sitting in the time machine at the end of time at the edge of the ocean as the sun dims and is burning out. The traveler can hear the scratching of the crabs on the sled rails of the Time Machine having gone as far in the future as he dare.

The Witless Projection Program

By LARRY WILKE

As the news of the latest Zogby poll hit the headlines of late, Barack Obama, while campaigning in rural Virginia, said that John McCain was running a dishonorable campaign that smacked of reckless “desperation.” This imbecilic flailing immediately after the news of what amounts to a ten point swing for McCain in the polling, makes Obama the newest member of the liberal Democratic “Witless Projection” Program. After the “Saddleback debate debacle” of the night before, just exactly who appears to be “desperate” here?

What a Living Constitution Really Means

The United States has gone too far. In the world that is present today it is evident that the United States has exceeded its Constitutional Boundaries. The Constitution as first written was written with three principal ideals that were written into a brilliant document that we hold dear as Americans named the Constitution of the United States of America. The three principals that are guaranteed are those of the right to life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. With these three things we as people can retain and build upon the foundation of the U.S. Constitution to a bigger and greater America.

Why One U.S. Airman Fears an Obama Victory

Barack Obama recently suggested that John McCain's willingness to stay in Iraq until the war is won means the presumptive Republican nominee can't possibly want genuine freedom for Iraqis -- an assertion that reflects Obama's now unsurprising inability to see the very nuanced complexities of war and foreign policy. He's gotten considerable flack from Republicans and Democrats for his celebratory world tour and the many speeches he delivered while overseas, and he's been called presumptuous and arrogant. If Obama wants to appear more "everyman," he needs to spend less time speaking, and more time listening.

Yet Another Mouthy San Francisco Moment Caught on the Record

Many years back, every year with tongue in cheek, a local store used to run what they called a “Christmas In July” sale. With Howard “Sonny” Dean at the helm of the Democratic National Committee, every day of every month of every year is Christmas for the Republicans. He is the “gift that keeps on giving.” Why do I call Dean “Sonny”? Sonny is the mascot for a particular breakfast cereal, and the Chairman’s resemblance is not only physical, but when he attempts to converse or communicate, the similarity is downright eerie.

New Islamic Call for "Dialogue" Arouses Suspicion

A June 7, 2008, news release posted on middle-east-online.com was heralded with a Goebbelsian headline: Muslim scholars back Saudi call for interfaith dialogue. This very warm and fuzzy sounding concoction is meant to convey the idea that the Islamic scholars and the Saudis wish to encourage mutually beneficial dialogue. Simply put, there is nothing that could be further from the truth.

In the first paragraph, we are told that after a three-day meeting in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the scholars ended their conference by suggesting there should be "efforts to boost dialogue with Christians and Jews." This "feel-good" statement from Mecca—the Islamic Holy City that forbids entrance to Christians and Jews, and all other infidels for that matter—rings hollow.

John McCain raised the applause of the Saddleback attendees many times over as compared to Barack Obama, some of which who had paid up to $2,000 for seats at the event. But did McCain win them entirely?

Would Knowledge of the Edwards Affair Have Resulted in a Clinton Victory?

An almost overwhelming amount of jaw jacking and useless speculation as of late has been forwarded about the possibility of “what could have been” had “The North Carolina Cad” been honest about his Bill Clinton/Gary Hart escapades with another Monica Lewinsky/Donna Rice wanna-be. Only this particular coquette ended up inconveniently gravid. Edwards should have considered taking up Bill’s proclivity towards utilizing his mistresses as humidors and things might have “turned out differently.” Then again, speculation and wondering if “things would have turned out differently” is what recent “news” has been about.

The eyes of the world are upon Beijing. Images pour forth daily of new stadiums full of cheering fans, Olympic athletes giving their all and dazzling fireworks in a bustling modern city. The last thing spectators think of as they sit in the new stadiums in Beijing, are the barbaric practices of their hosts. Namely, the lucrative Chinese practice of harvesting and selling the body parts of executed prisoners.
