• Know what grinds my gears?

  Tennessee's "native son" Al Gore is now officially sucking -- big time -- at the federal government's teat. His teat-sucking should make taxpayers everywhere very, very mad. To wit:What’s the most laughably outlandish angle of this story?That the U.S. Government is loaning Nobel laureate Al Gore and investment bank Kleiner [...]

• Feels soooo good to be Right (and correct)

  What I said early last year:Denizens of the far-left crowed when a recent National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Iran halted its nuclear-weaponization program in 2003. Bush's could no longer use Tehran's "nuclear arms-seeking mullahs" as a bugaboo with which to hype possible military action in Iran.As I stated when the [...]

• Straight outta Cuba

  Not long after Elián González was returned to Cuba -- remember that grand bit o' political theatre?! -- I remember watching a national news spot in which young Elian, who was bedecked in the regalia of the Cuban Communist Party's Young Pioneers, was featured singing Fidel Castro's praises. I couldn't [...]

• Are you fuckin' kidding me?!

  Back in 1994, I worked for a guy named Steve Wilson who was running for U.S. Senate. Dr. Wilson was an econ prof and author, and he was the only true-blue Supply-Sider in the "six-pack" primary race to unseat Sen. Jim Sasser. That's why I supported him. (More 'bout "Wilson'" [...]
