As much as common sense tells us that the symbolic act of burning The Qur’an may not be the best choice for public actions to celebrate the 9/11 tower destruction brought to us by Islamic Radicals which hate all that is America, it would be a shame if it were to be halted now. If, after all of the press, Pastor Terry Jones gives way | Read More »

From Associated Press: US forces still in fight at end of combat mission Even as President Barack Obama was announcing the end of combat in Iraq, American soldiers were sealing off a northern village early Wednesday as their Iraqi partners raided houses and arrested dozens of suspected insurgents.

It is amazing that Arizona, so embroiled in a fight against the U.S. Government over the status of immigration and their borders, could even be contemplating supporting a non-starter like John McCain.

From Drudge I see an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer Philadelphia Housing Authority chief Carl Greene facing foreclosure Wells Fargo Bank has foreclosed on Greene’s $615,035 condominium in the upscale Naval Square development in the city’s Schuylkill section. Sounds ominous and rather ironic. But, taken from a different light. Mr Greene’s salary is 50% of the value of the building. I would find it hard | Read More »
It is always astounding to see politicians attempt to lead a horse to water AND make him drink. I read this morning an article in Telegraph.co.uk Business facing a wave of green taxes Thousands of British businesses will be liable for significant fines and charges under a new government “green tax” scheme. Companies that fail to register their energy use by next month will be | Read More »
