How The Mighty Have Fallen

By Jim Vicevich | March 2, 2008 | Comments Off on How The Mighty Have Fallen

Our good friend John Hinderaker at Powerline has done a magnificent job of dissecting last week’s 60 Minutes piece in which CBS bought into (willingly?) Jill Simpson’s story concerning Karl Rove. She claimed that it was Rove who asked her to dig up compromising photos on former Alabama Governor Siegelman. Rove says (yesterday on Fox News) he has never…

What Is Wes Clark Thinking?

By Jim Vicevich | March 2, 2008 | Comments Off on What Is Wes Clark Thinking?

Surely he can’t be serious. But yes he is and don’t call him Shirley! This is via Powerline. Still, I was shocked to learn that in a conference call with reporters earlier today, Clark argued that Hillary Clinton’s experience as First Lady has better prepared her to be Commander in Chief than John McCain’s “wrong…

Small problem with the equipment. Switched on Friday to ATT Uverse internet TV and dropped Comcast. Comcast was getting very expensive  and for the price of just TV i am now getting more channels plus high speed internet plus local phone. The service is much cheaper, more selection and because its still new ATT is…

The New American Soldier

By Jim Vicevich | March 2, 2008 | Comments Off on The New American Soldier

Why Are U.S. Troops So Hard To Kill? This post comes via Instapundit. I took the time to read the whole thing and its quite good. Two key graphs: Since late 2001, there have been .12 American combat deaths per division day in Afghanistan. During the Vietnam war, the average division lost 3.2 troops a…

Protesting In The Nude

I am linking to this from Powerline just because it’s funny. Some people will look for any excuse to take their clothes off in public. In this case its to save the bulls. No seriously … nude Australian women stripping for Spanish bulls. Really. I’m not kidding.

More On NAFTA

By Jim Vicevich | February 29, 2008 | Comments Off on More On NAFTA

The Democratic NAFTA histeria once again ignores all of the facts. But when you are trolling for votes, as we pointed out yesterday, why let facts get in the way of a good story. NAFTA supporters — this page among them — usually respond by pointing out that 39 million jobs outside of manufacturing have…

Money For Distressed Homeowners Or Distressed Democratic Campaign Operatives?

By Jim Vicevich | February 29, 2008 | Comments Off on Money For Distressed Homeowners Or Distressed Democratic Campaign Operatives?

HotAir links to an interesting story on the Democrats attempt to add more stimulus dollars for distressed homewoners. The only problem is … its not for distressed homeowners. first of all, it would have continued what we started in the end of last year, foreclosure prevention counseling dollars, to give money to organizations around the…

Angelina On Iraq

Angelina Jolie (yup, that Angelina) has just returned from a humanitarian mission in Iraq and has penned an interesting op ed this morning in the Washington Post. This is her second trip so there is a frame of reference. The Iraqi families I’ve met on my trips to the region are proud and resilient. They…

Sgt Wayne Lyde from Washington State wins a million bucks … what’s he doing next. Going back to Iraq. The Sgt has already done two tours and he told the folks on Fox and Friends this morning he just wants to do what is right and be with his buddies. Here’s the story on ABC…

Prince Harry In Iraq

By Jim Vicevich | February 29, 2008 | Comments Off on Prince Harry In Iraq

The cover was actually blown before Drudge brought it to international attention. But I still have a problem with this. The Prince is clearly a target and revealing the story didn’t just compromise the Prince but also his buddies in arms. Here’s audio of the Prince this morning from Fox and friends. Having trouble with…
