There is no real way to insult many of the blackgaurds that "serve" our country in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body - Senators like Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer are beyond contempt. But even they must surly feel some twinge of shame when they undermine our troops and war effort with there idiotic nonbinding resolution declaring the troop increase in Iraq to be against "the national interest."

No one is worse on this than the sanctimonious hot-head and Freshman Senator Jimbo Webb from the Great State of Virginia to who's eternal shame he gave a speach after President Bush's State of the Union address that pleaded for the US to cut and run from Iraq.

"As I look at Iraq, I recall the words of former general and soon-to-be President Dwight Eisenhower during the dark days of the Korean War, which had fallen into a bloody stalemate. "When comes the end?" asked the general who had commanded our forces in Europe during World War II. And as soon as he became president, he brought the Korean War to an end."

In Answer to Ike's questions, "When comes the end?" I'd have to say, July 27 1953 when the United States, North Korea and China signed an armistice was not "the end" of that conflict. And if Jim Webb thinks that some kind of similar arrangement with Iran and Syria with regards to Iraq is OK, then I have to disagree. I don't want to kick the Iraq problem down the road so that my grandchildren have to deal with it.

Then, after all the huffing and puffing about how horrible President Bush's policy is and how bad the situation in Iraq is they vote Unanimously to confirms Army Lt. Gen. David Petraeus as the man to implement the plan. UNANIMOUSLY, UNANIMOUSLY, UNANIMOUSLY!!!!!!!

And then, when you don't think these fools can go any lower we have John Kerry who was strong armed by his party to make a pathetic speach on the Senate floor declaring that he won't run for President of the US in '08 (as if anyone cared except for Teresa) but then goes over to Davos and calls his own country an "international pariah." Outrageous, and even more so when you consider the fact that the "man" was almost the President of the United States.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. 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...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. 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...
