Apparently, there are no limits to Congressional power. Chief Justice John Roberts airily pronounced last week, with as much erudition as a man from LaPorte, Indiana can (–and who grew up on the Mickey Mouse Club and Howdy Doody) that, well, whatever Congress wants, Congress gets. If Congress deigns to pass a law that we all must wear conical brassieres, and skip about to old | Read More »
Umm. Er. Ah… Does anyone recall their recent history? 1) Nancy Pelosi’s House in 2009 takes up two versions of a “Health Care Reform” bill. Both versions have squirreled away within their byzantine idiocy, what the libs refer to as the “Public Option” . 2) Both plans are rejected by the Senate, in especial by Senator Joe Lieberman, who threatens to filibuster any bill with | Read More »
How did a Free People get here? I remember –vaguely– the excitement, the anticipation, as the nation (and, indeed the world) breathlessly awaited for the Lunar Module door to open, for an astronaut to debauch from the tiny “porch”, and alight on the surface of the moon. My brother had a “toy turtle” at the time, and I contracted salmonella from the little cutie. So, | Read More »
Why does steam rise? Why do golf balls have dimples? What is natural gas? Where does it come from? What makes some paint red, and other paint blue? How does a toilet work? Why are some fillings called “amalgam”? What does “USB” mean? Why do weather patterns move from west to east? What do tire treads do? Why is it “asphalt” in America, but “tarmac” | Read More »
There was no greater victory for the United States than the tumultuous win at the End of World War Two. Right? Well, yeah. More or less. Except… We lost Berlin. We lost Prague. We won the war, but lost the peace. A battle of political wills had been raging in the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force ever since the 101st Airborne set parachuted-foot | Read More »
AUTHOR’S NOTE: I first published this one year ago today. I believe it is of paramount importance, especially in this age of instantly disposable news, to never forget tragic, heartbreaking and innocent victims such as those in Bath, Michigan– and to pray to God and thank Him for the well-being and safety of our own little ones. Life, after all, can change so unalterably so | Read More »
Lord, I’m really, really fed up with all the identity wedge-issue politics that the leftists keep unearthing. One week it’s the poor, overburdened college graduate with their 6-percent student loans. The next it’s nymphomaniacs and their easy access to rubbers. Now it’s homosexuals yearning (or, at least panting) to breathe free in a nation of Ward Cleavers that keep them clamped in chains. Has our | Read More »
Barack Obama might be a very decent man,–doesn’t cheat on his wife, enjoys his family, that sort of thing… President Obama, however, is a loathsome politician. I’ve often considered the doctrinaire, rabidly ideological leftist: What makes them tick? Very frequently, these strange specimens are otherwise intelligent folks. Their blood is red, they purchase groceries which are similar to mine. They can discuss The Brothers Karamazov | Read More »
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, Article 1, Section 7: Clause 1: All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills. In all of President Obama’s recent gaseous oration, as he tries to bewitch both the Supreme Court and his slumping supporters, he’s often made greasy, unctuous allusion to | Read More »
So, the thin vapors started wafting out from the emanations of the Associated Press yesterday that Vice President Dick Cheney was, perhaps, too “elderly” to receive a heart transplant. Who, exactly –the literati wanted to know– did the old coot push out the way to get his surgery? What strings were pulled to give the heretofore heartless Cheney a new heart? The subtext? What was | Read More »
