Current Events - IMHO
Samuel Alito Hearings : The Democrats are more interested in face time than they are doing anything constructive.
Al Gore : His speech on Martin Luther King Day was a good example of my comment above. Using a civil rights inspired day to try and drive a wedge between people. We need more pulling together, not, more driving apart.
Party Politics : I’s out of hand. We should be more interested in the protection of this country and what freedoms we have. Instead of the constant blasting of the “other side”.
Mass Media : In their quest for “the big [...]
The ROE for an Obama Administration
A reader (Donald Gately) wrote Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit and said this: I consider myself a libertarian/conservative. Like many people of that bent, I was uncomfortable with Bush when he was nominated. But Al Gore’s increasingly-erratic behavior during the 2000 election made me hope Bush won. Once Bush won, and it became clear that the Florida democrats were trying to steal the election, I became something of a Bush loyalist. Throughout his first term, I took note of all the really horrible
GBR3 Round up
I didn’t make it this year and that was a bummer. But others did. Here’s what they wrote about: Video of full auto goodness. And tons of pics. Even more pics. Show and tell and GBR is always a blast. Range pics. Apparently, the range was cold. Ridefast and Kevin have reports.
Smith College Editor: 'Obama Is My Jesus'
It looks like the declaration by Louis Farrakhan that Barack Obama is the new Messiah, as you can see in this video, is not an isolated belief. It seems this bizarre theology of Obama worship has spread to our college campuses. In particular this belief in the sanctity of a certain sacred Chicago machine politician now seems to have devout acolytes in hallowed halls of Smith College, the nation's largest liberal arts college for women, located in Massachusetts. And the high priestess singing pra
Paul Krugman's Nobel Prize
By TigerHawk at 10/13/2008 08:28:00 AM The Swedes have given Paul Krugman the Nobel Prize for Economics. If you have only read his columns in the New York Times, you would be right to think this was a decision of Arafatesque idiocy. There are, however, two Paul Krugmans. At least two. Back in the day I read a couple of his pre-partisan books, and they were extremely creative and perceptive. He is far better in that format, writing about his actual academic specialty, than he is in making
FIRST AL GORE, NOW THIS: A Nobel Prize for Paul Krugman. Well, it's for his economics, not his punditry. Back when I used to do international trade law, his economic work was very well-regarded.

Social Entrepreneurship
Last month at the Web 2.0 Expo, Tim O’Reilly, founder of O’Reilly Media, gave a sobering keynote about the vacuity of Web 2.0. After pointing out some of the most pressing issues facing our country, he chided that some of our best and brightest are working on web applications like SuperPoke and iBeer. O’Reilly went on to talk about companies that are leveraging technology to take on social and political challenges, while urging many more to ask the question of whether we’re working on the right
Ahtisaari’s Well Deserved Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded last Friday to former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari. The mainstream media claimed matter-of-factly that this was the “global trouble-shooter’s” reward for many years of “helping end strife” in troublespots ranging from Kosovo to Namibia and Indonesia. The Norwegian Nobel Committee hailed Ahtisaari (71) “for his important efforts, on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts.” The claim is ridiculous: Far from b
30 Rock returns, with more guests than episodes [VIDEO]
I’ve always loved Tina Fey’s sitcom and I have to admit that, unlike others, they are really good at using guest-stars. Of course, on occasion the results may not have been the best, but it never got bad, like really bad, you know, like HIMYM-Britney Spears bad. And from Eddie Falco to Al Gore to David Schwimmer to Carrie Fisher, 30 Rock knows how to make the most of their guests. That said, I’m getting worried that nowadays, and in an attempt to get more viewers, they might be trying too hard

Creativity is the future. So who would ever want to become a lawyer?
October 13, 2008 Let me start on this POPTECH lecture stuff right away. I’ve just watched a great lecture by Daniel Pink (Al Gore’s former speech writer). He’s a wonderful speaker – and gives a textbook-case speech - but what I love is how beautifully he articulates the future of business. And the fact that what he says makes me feel safer than anyone working in Canary Wharf. One of the first things he does is debunk the traditional view of left brain and right brained thinking. But he does
The greenies are going mad.
Climate change alarmism is becoming increasingly sensational and absurd. The latest from Al Gore’s disciples is that twenty years from now, people will have fled to the Antarctic, and that the Olympic Games will have migrated from reality to the internet (because half of the planet will be under water while the other half will be hunting down shade). I am reminded of the Y2K doomsday prophesies; we all know how those turned out. These people are beginning to resemble Jehovah’s Witnesses. (mo
Climate change investments to tackle financial crisis
Widespread investment in renewables and sustainable technology could help tackle the current global economic slump, according to an organisation chaired by former US vice president Al Gore. Speaking at the Reuters Global Environment Summit this week, Cathy Zoi, chief executive of the Alliance for Climate Protection, said that if the US focused on climate change as soon as the new president took office, it could help avert fears of a global recession. “My very strong belief is that we need to
The Political Machine 2008 (PC) Screens & Art
The Political Machine 2008 is a strategic PC game from Stardock, in which you basically lead a campaign to elect the President of the United States. In other words, your primary goal is to do the opposite of what John McCain is currently doing. The characters: Fmr. President Bill Clinton (D-AR) Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) Fmr. Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) Fmr. Vice President Al Gore (D-TN) Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) Fmr. President Jimmy Carter
Are We Gearing Up For An Obama Landslide?
I’ve spent the entire weekend packing for my move back east next week. I leave Los Angeles on the 19th and there is so much to do. I’ve barely had a chance to read the news, but this caught my eye during my late night browse: Barring a dramatic change in the political landscape over the next three weeks, Democrats appear headed toward a decisive victory on Election Day that would give them broad power over the federal government. The victory would send Barack Obama to the White House and give

Monday, October 13 -- Assigned Reading
(Cartoon by Michael Ramirez) McCain Vows to Whip Obama's 'You-Know-What' (FROM: Associated Press) Every time I think John McCain gets it, he does something a few days later that takes the wind right out of my sails. This time, I'm hoping things will be different. Not only do I like the enthusiasm from the Arizona senator, I like that he will be offering a fiscally conservative answer for our current economic crisis -- reduce capital gains and dividend taxes to foster investment and economic gro
Obama’s RedPrint Plan for Change
Major Hat Tip to TRM from d=s for making another banner and widget for me. Thank You, TRM! PART ONE: by Tracy at No Compromise July 15, 2008 Barack Hussein Obama has written a sixty-four page dribble, and drool homily on his plan for change in America. I decided to take this plan on, and go through each point of his unending preaching, and show YOU, Voter American, why each point he makes is nothing new, but the same old Marxist agenda found in the Commie Manifesto written in the
