Greg, I see this differently. After being publicly upbraided by Obama, the general will almost certainly retire from military service very soon. Obama chose to publicly humiliate McChrystal in the most public way possible. As a matter of principle, McC will go away quietly. Our thin-skinned...

NYC Mayor Bloomberg has attached himself to so many socially liberal ideas that no one who follows politics would consider him remotely conservative. To be somewhat fiscally conservative while at the same time being a social liberal means one isn't truly conservative at all. Real conservatives...

Here's a question: would you rather make $80000 in a cargo van as an owner-operator or make $160000 in a tractor?

Ladies and gentlemen of EO... be not surprised the trucking industry, in some aspects, follows the business model of the mafia. Skimming off the top is everywhere. Having completed more than 2000 expedite runs, I can say the paid miles never equal the actual miles. The paid miles are usually...

Osama bin Laden is US educated? When and where?

The opening scenes of the film "Saving Private Ryan" probably give a realistic depiction of the horrors of D-Day, June 6, 1944. That sort of slaughter of US military forces won't happen again. With modern satellite capabilities and air superiority, US military commanders would "clear" the...

The difference between an oil spill and an oil leak is semantics and perception. The term leak implies a small event, easily fixed. The term spill is more accurate in defining a large event not easily contained. I see you are having great difficulty making that distinction, Greg. Embrace...

I always felt the late David Brinkley of NBC, and then ABC News, was telling the truth. He came across as a man of integrity. It didn't seem either political party owned him. Do we have any news commentators today that play it down the middle?

The so-called members of the so-called Westboro Baptist Church hates military families and Sarah Palin just happens to have a son serving in Afghanistan with the US Army. These Westboro nuts couldn't possibly be a bonafide sanctioned church within the Baptist realm. I imagine they call...

The Palins need to purchase all adjacent property that borders their own home. For security reasons, nuts will now realize they can get within just a few feet of the Palin residence. Unfortunately, the Palins have not only lost privacy, but safety as well. I suspect Sarah Palin doesn't...

Talk about a need for sensitivity training. Muslims hope to build a huge mosque in Manhattan near the site of attacks on the World Trade Center towers in Sept 2001. Needless to say, many NYC natives are outraged by the audacity of such a move. Given the inexplicable liberal mindset of New...

Well, there is no party called the Tea Party. It is a loose affiliation of grassroots political novices, all of whom seem disgusted with politics as usual. Since most are fiscally conservative, the Tea Party activists tend to throw support behind GOP candidates. It shouldn't come as a...

If Obama is defeated for re-election, we all can thank the Tea Party. Sarah Palin 2012!! Vote girlie and often.

I was making the case it is a tradition for presidents to attend Memorial Day services at Arlington. Never said it is unprecedented for a prez to skip one. It would be an appropriate gesture to attend, but Obama has vacation plans this weekend and then a Paul McCartney concert at the White...

Of course you like him. *L* The idea of Obama in a HazMat suit works for me. Seriously, he can't run and hide any longer from this incident in our Gulf states. If BP's "top-kill" attempt doesn't work today, things may get really ugly in political circles. Obama has kept himself at some...

Obama shows up when it suits his purposes. Like a tightly controlled script at West Point where cadets have no choice but to sit there and endure long-winded speeches on foreign policy. Obama attends photo opps where he cannot be challenged. He hasn't given a real news interview with the...

In the first real crisis of his term in office, the dramatic oil spill along the US Gulf coast, President Obama will be on vacation this weekend. Last night, while citizens of Louisiana were screaming for help, Obama thought going to a Democratic fundraiser in San Francisco was a better use of...

President Obama has chosen not to attend the traditional Memorial Day service at Arlington National Cemetery. It's just another break from tradition by a very nontraditional president. It's probably just as well that Obama doesn't go to these events. He is held in such low regard by the...

I just got a FedEx load going to New Iberia, Louisiana. Pays nearly a dollar a mile and I don't even wear a tie. Maybe it's the closest qualified truck that gets the load, I don't know. Anyway, a few quick comments: an adequate response would be for this administration to step up to the...
