I ran across a recent op-ed by SF author Alan Dean Foster on the NY Times website today. He makes a couple of interesting points about Arizona's immigration enforcement law, SB 1070.
The part of the law not blocked by a federal judge has been in force for over a week ...

I ran across a couple of great music videos over on youtube, one courtesy to my pal Richard in San Diego (hat tip).
The first one is "It's Time to Party" by Brion Butterbaugh:
This is followed by a couple of great videos by Lisa Mei Norton with "A Revolution's Brewing" and ...

I like Ray Bradbury. Always have. His writings were first introduced to me around the fifth grade with his early short stories. I continued to read him throughout my youth. I even have met him on more than a few occasions over the years. Nice guy.
Now I find even more ...

It's amazing what a difference 20 months makes on the political scene. For the eight years of the Bush Administration, we heard an unending scream condemning deficit spending by the Left and how it was eating away our children's future. Yes, Bush, with the help of a Democrat controlled Congress, ...

Elton John is, without a doubt, one of the greatest Rock and Roll performers of all time. I was mildly surprised to learn that he recently played in Arizona, despite a boycott of the state over SB 1070 (enforce the immigration laws law), but had a few choice words for ...

I am sitting in the hotel lobby of WesterCon, in Pasadena, CA. Kind of a slow convention thus far, but there are some good science panels slated for today and tomorrow.
Meanwhile, watching CNN, they talk about the "2 million" jobs that the stimulus has created or saved. How do they ...

I've been negligent in my writing duties again. Lot's happening, including deciding to stop playing WoW, which has been the primary cause of my writing absence. Fun game, but I'd rather get back to the business of writing. That being said…
Lots of things going on in the Greatest Nation on ...

Just what we need, a new moment in Moonbattry. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) is now calling a Republican filibuster on a piece of Democratic legislation "anti-American". Wow, how's that for demagoguery?
From Politico:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accused Republicans of being "anti-American" by demanding changes to a Wall Street ...

Dear Comrade:
My heartiest congratulations on advancing the People's cause by nationalizing Amerika's health insurance industry. What a stroke of genius; destroying the capitalistic health insurance industry, forcing all Americans to buy sub-standard health care coverage, raising taxes and government spending to new levels, and expanding government with over 100 new ...

ObamaCare passed in the House; God save the Union; rest in peace, U.S. Constitution. Chicago-style politics, back room deals, and partisan politics won, as did the Socialist-Marxist agenda of the Obama Administration. Whatever happened to transparency Obama campaigned on and promised Americans?
I looked over the roll-call vote and saw a ...

Yesterday I drove out to St. Paul for the Kill the Bill rally. Over 4,000 people showed up for the event. Message of the day: "Kill the Bill!"
Patriot Paul, from Indiana, led the People in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by Congress John Kline who pointed out all the ...

America continues to be the most amazing country on the face of the Earth. Where else can idiots and Moonbats rise up to superstardom and have millions of dollars and still be about as bright as Spicoli in Ridgemont High. How did Sean Penn manage to graduate a real high ...

It's been just over a week now since the firestorm over Captain America #602 and the racist/tea party connection hit the internet and the news. I picked up a copy of Cap and gave it a read. It was my first comic book in over 10 years. Things have changed. ...

I hear that the Progressives (they don't like being called "liberals" any more, which works for me as they don't believe in Liberty) have started a group to counter the Tea Party movement. They have picked the delightfully witty and appropriate term "brownbagger". I had to look it up in ...

According to a recent Gallup Poll, 53% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism. Why is anyone surprised at this? Seriously, look at who the Democratic voters have sent to Washington in recent years: Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar, Dennis Kucinich, Chuck ...

Generally I don't pay attention to Meghan McCain. Currently she is about as relevant as Cindy Sheehan. Well, maybe she is not as relevant as Cindy Sheehan. Today, however, Meghan kinda stuck her foot into it with her responses to a Republican "purity" test. I don't put much stock into ...

There is some good news coming out of the Capitol. The Health Care Takeover (ObamaCare) is hanging on by a thread. I like what the Hill reported:
"We've got to get a bill that's more compatible to the House," Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday. "Forget ...
