The Impossible Obama

2008-05-09T23:04:59Z

I have been working at a new job recently, and I have had little energy for blogging. But today I took the time during lunch to pen a few thoughts on the Barack Obama problem. Additionally, my wife found my first gray hair this evening. I am ecs...

Iraq War Misconceptions

2008-04-08T22:49:02Z

National Review Online has a tremendous piece by Frederick W. Kagan on Iraq. Specifically, the common myths associated with the war that many on the left side of the spectrum continually cite as reasons we have lost, will lose, or must withdraw f...

Bigotry and the Common Blog

2008-04-03T13:43:50Z

I found this interesting article on National Review, and thought I'd share it. I enjoy the fact that Islam is still being preserved from criticism, even much deserved criticism. It seems that no progress has been made since the riots following t...

Obama's Race Speech

2008-03-26T14:04:10Z

I think this paragraph from Jonah Goldberg of National Review is a tidy summation of my feelings on what some have called "one of the finest speeches ever." Why do voluptuaries of racial argy-bargy want yet another such dialogue? For some, it’s ...

Sex, Violence, Profanity Are Fine...But Don't You Dare Pretend To Be Another Race

2008-03-07T22:49:39Z

Now for those who know me and my politics, the following should come as no surprise. But I'm going to discuss some very sensitive issues here and I'm going to do so in my usual frank and somewhat insensitive way. So, sharpen your knives. Have y...

Scio's Endorsement

2008-01-23T16:15:09Z

Well, with Fred Thompson gone it's time for me to pick a new candidate. I've chosen Mitt Romney for his economic experience, his stated commitment to pursuing our foreign interests, his executive credentials and because he's just so gosh-darn pre...

Am I Getting Smarter? Or is Fox Reading My Blog?

2008-01-22T01:36:03Z

So, to those of you who do read this stuff I put up here, do you recall my post from a few days ago? The one about Fred Thompson, in which I reasoned that if the Presidency is beyond his reach then he might at least be considered for the VP spot?...

Thompson Predictions

2008-01-20T01:31:03Z

1. If Thompson places third tonight in South Carolina, he will drop out of the race. 2. If Thompson places second, he may stay in for a little while. 3. If Thompson stays in and continues his campaign as he has, he will remain a factor in the...

Killer Troops, Imaginary Horrors, Overblown Anti-War Pisspots...

2008-01-19T21:45:06Z

I defy anyone to argue with Mark Steyn. The man is simply a genius. He makes me depressed by exposing how utterly screwed up the West's collective head is. Is it any wonder that an Islamic group in Canada was trying to have him muzzled? At som...

Michigan Goes Romney, Nomination Still in Doubt

2008-01-16T15:06:49Z

So if it hasn't been made clear by now, this race for the Republican nomination is a bit different than usual. We've got different winners in the early primaries, and South Carolina looms as a make or break state for more than one candidate. It ...
