I wrote in this blog 4 weeks ago about Nancy Pelosi, about her thinking and her juvenile methods that go into her decision making. My thoughts were based on an interview with readers of Time Magazine.
Well, I must go back and write about that issue one more time. In the August 25, 2008 issue of [...]

A week ago, Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama met with Pastor Rick Warren at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA. Warren interviewed them each individually, asking them identical questions so that obvservers can get an accurate view of the differences between the two U.S. presidential candidates.
I finally got a chance to watch the [...]

The August 1, 2008 issue of The Compass has an article titled, “Priest shares insights on illegal immigration“, with a subtitle of “Fr. Rueter urges Catholics to look at economic issues behind illegal immigration.”
The overall tone of the article is nice. But unfortunately, it’s yet another example of a Catholic priest trying to appeal to [...]

One thing I can’t stand about many politicians is when they are asked a question, instead of actually answering the question, they give a half-assed response in order to just get past the question. And if that response happens to slam their opposing political party in the process, bonus points.
One such politician is Nancy Pelosi [...]

We need oil. We use oil. We have oil.
I’ve been thinking and reading a lot about the debate over drilling for oil. And I’ve just whittled all the oil drilling arguments down to 9 words. The above 9 words are the reason the United States should drill more for domestic oil. It’s all that simple.
You [...]

The United States is too dependent on foreign countries for oil. That’s our problem, plain and simple, and we must solve it.
Senator John McCain (Republican candidate for president) is calling for more domestic drilling. President Bush is calling for more domestic drilling. Senator Barack Obama (Democratic candidate for president) opposes the drilling. Obama is wrong. [...]

My favorite TV news man died today. Tim Russert was the NBC Washington bureau chief, and for the past 17 years, moderator of Meet The Press. Russert was at the NBC studios in Washington this morning when he collapsed from a heart attack, what his doctor called a “sudden coronary thrombosis”. He died immediately.
When it [...]

General Motors announced two days ago that they’re closing four truck and SUV plants in North America, affecting 10,000 workers. Included in the closings is the plant in Janesville, Wisconsin. What surprises me is all the politicians who are stunned by this announcement.
Come on folks, wake up. Think about it. Have you been paying attention [...]

There are times when I’d prefer to be wrong, but in this case, I was definitely correct in my analysis and prediction. Just a year ago, I wrote an entry in this blog about Governor Doyle’s intent to provide free tuition to Wisconsin veterans. And my basic point was simple. Doyle was wrong. Not only [...]

If you’re like me, you receive several e-mails every week from some friend or relative plugging some cause and including a call to action like, “make your voice heard, forward this e-mail to everyone you know”.
Most such messages I receive are about U.S. immigration policies. But I also receive messages like, “put Christ back in [...]

If you’re just stopping by my web site for the first time, perhaps you can tell that I’m a Republican. But if you’ve been following this blogger for some time, I hope you’ve also learned that I’m not a party line Republican. I’ve voted for Democrats when I’ve felt that they were the best choice. [...]

Sometimes I can’t believe my ears. Instead of going into a rant on this one, let me give you some quotes from a couple of recent Barack Obama speeches:
Sat 29-Mar-2008, town hall meeting, Johnstown, Pennsylvania
“When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include — which should include abstinence education [...]
