Saddam - Clown of the Year

Do you think that when Saddam plotted to assassinate then President George H. W. Bush in April of 1993 that he had any idea what it would cost him? How could he have even imagined that 7 years later the son of his nemesis would be elected President and would bring the full force of the US Armed Services into direct action against him. Saddam lost his country, his palaces, his two son's (extinguishing his line) and now his life. God Bless America and God Bless George W. Bush who did not turn the other cheek in this instance, but hounded this beast down to a hole in the ground and then pulled him out and killed him. That's justice - Texas style - and Iran and Syria had best get with the program or they'll find themselves in the same spot.

Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
