It’s That Time Of Year, Again!

This is the twentieth anniversary of the year’s worst reporting from the Media Research Center, known as the Best of Notable Quotables.
Of all the liberal biased comments from various media sources, whether electronic or print, the MRC has diligently gleaned through them all, selected the worst of them all, and submitted them to a panel [...]

Lest we forget

Yes, Virginia.  There is a War on Terror.
National security is the number one issue of the Republican  primary for a very good reason.  Muslim terrorism is real.  It is a threat that America cannot ignore.  It is the reason that Republicans must prevail in the 2008 elections.  The Sun offers this reminder, lest we forget.

Who didn’t see this coming?

Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, has boasted of providing for universal healthcare in the Commonwealth.  In fact, Hillary Clinton’s reincarnation of universal healthcare was unveiled a few months ago, and it looked remarkably similar.  Employers are required to provide access to insurance, or face fines from the state.
Enter the law of unintended consequences.  Many [...]

Dogs take Liberty with defensive gem

From ESPN
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Sylvester Croom and Mississippi State capped a turnaround season built on defense with one of their stingiest efforts.

Top 10 Climate Myth-Busters for 2007

Something to read on a slow Saturday.
“I’ve made up my mind. Don’t confuse me with the facts.” That saying most appropriately sums up the year in climate science for the fanatic global warming crowd.
As Al Gore, the United Nations, grandstanding politicians and celebrities, taxpayer-dependent climate researchers, socialist-minded Greens, climate profiteers and other members of [...]

Mitt or Hillary? Take the quiz

Listening to their current stump speeches, Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton seem like polar opposites. The Democratic lightening rod and the former New England governor appear to offer voters a contrasting vision of leadership: government activism versus free market solutions to the challenges of 21st century America.
Their rhetoric, however, is a different story. [...]

Romney could have kept killer behind bars

SHIRLEY, Mass.—A killer accused in the slaying of a newlywed couple in Washington state shortly after he was released from prison in Massachusetts should have been held behind bars for almost a year longer, but the Romney administration failed to file paperwork in time to take away his “good time” credits.
A Department of Correction superintendent, [...]

Listening to Howard Dean

This afternoon’s Rush Limbaugh Show, hosted by Mark Belling, featured a semi-restrained rant by the host against Mike Huckabee. I listened to one segment of the show, as time allowed. According to Belling, other than the two issues of gay marriage and abortion, reading the words of Mike Huckabee is virtually indistinguishable from [...]

Paulian poge or imposter?

Or patriot, maybe? There’s no way for me to know for sure.
I ran across a website diary authored by “captainj0e” while browsing over at Free Republic. Captainj0e is a Ron Paul guy who claims to be serving his second tour of duty in Iraq.
Frankly, I haven’t spent enough time around the Paulians to [...]

Fred campaign broke, dropping out?

Politico has an interesting piece on Fred Thompson’s campaign.  Staggering, broke, and about to drop out of the race?
When I got a generic fundraising e-mail “from” Fred Thompson campaign manager Bill Lacy last night offering “a quick update” on the effort to get “on the air statewide in Iowa,” I didn’t take it literally.
I should have.
Fred [...]

High steppin’ and fancy dancin’

I ran across this a few days ago and posted it as an update on the previous thread.
Rather than be accused of burying the lead, I wanted to take the opportunity to ask our readers this question:
“Is it legal for dead people to make political contributions?”
I don’t think the deceased is too [...]

Club for Growth goes all in

Can the Republican nomination be bought?
The Club for Growth apparently thinks so, as their spending on the anti-Huckabee crusade has grown to over $550,000 in the last three weeks alone.
The Associated Press is reporting that Houston homebuilder Bob Perry of Swiftboat fame, is joining with fellow scalawag 1 Jackson “Steve” Stephens, Jr. [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS!

Jesus’ coming was foretold in prophecies, long before his birth, and no other has had the impact on mankind, as he.
Teaching and guiding any who would listen, and shaping the world even for those who chose to ignore him, no other being on Earth has changed life like Jesus, for so many, and for so [...]

I’ve been kinda busy setting up a new site.
It’s called Bloggers 4 Huckabee .
The new website will be dedicated to political news and posts, with an emphasis on rebuttals of negative press, Huck news, and a little but of opposition research.
Although I will continue to post occasional Huck pieces here at Nuke’s, the fact [...]
