We can imagine other Middle East dictators and autocrats are watching the revolution in Egypt with trepidation. No one can know what happens next. Will other dynasties begin to fall? Saudi Arabia? Or Jordan? Let's hope things turn for the betterment of the people. Not every clash or...

Watching the live broadcast of Mubarak's address on Egyptian State Television, it appears Mubarak is digging in his heels to stay in power for awhile longer. Pretty language about elections in September won't mollify the crowds demanding change now. Wearing a suit and tie doesn't make Mubarak...

Camels in the streets of Cairo. Pro-government thugs on camels and horses are clashing with protesters. Sticks, stones, machetes, Molotov ****tails, water cannons, fires.... the government beatdown has begun.

For the past 11 years I have used only Shell Rotella in my Ford diesels. Change the oil faithfully every 10,000 miles. No problems to report.

I sense a huge slapdown is headed towards Obamacare. As I said a year ago, the US Supreme Court will have the final say as to whether this incredible attempt at forcing socialized medicine on every man, woman and child in America can pass constitutional muster. In his never-ending search for...

I apologize if my comments on Europe's difficulties with her Muslim population annoyed you. Although we will probably come to different conclusions, I certainly do not pretend to have your firsthand experience as a European. Still, rest assured the US will not be so indulgent as our friends...

I wasn't offering an expert opinion, just mine. Are you familiar with the book "Londonistan" by British journalist Melanie Phillips?

The Pastor Terry Jones presents a unique dilemma: we have to weigh his act of threatening to burn the Koran against the rights of free speech. In the US we see examples of flag burning and book burning as provocative and insensitive, but not illegal. I don't recall seeing any riots or mass...

Greg... I agree with most of your points. I make a distinction between those who serve honorably (which is the vast majority) and those who do not serve honorably. The UCMJ deals directly with the latter group. As to civilians serving their country, there is no real comparison to be made...

Do these weather organizations receive government funding? Surely, they wouldn't skew measurements to coincide with liberal ideology on the subject of global warming. There is plenty of skepticism towards any claim of a causal relationship between human activity and weather.

I was hoping ya might be able to produce even one specific incident where the United States directly condoned any atrocity 'in the name of God" ... whereas we are not a theocracy and our system of law specifically prohibits the establishment of an official national religion, the US cannot and...

I am puzzled by the above statement. Care to give some recent or current examples of the United States actually condoning any atrocity in the name of God? Which atrocity? Which god?

Neanderthals had a very good run. 400,00 years. Can homo sapiens match such a record? If some think the Earth is overpopulated now, where will future resources come from as population growth explodes and life expectancies increase? Can Planet Earth sustain 12 billion, or 20 billion humans...

Those MPG's are impressive. My Ford diesels avg about 18mpg. Given the price differential for fuel (gas v. diesel) I am tempted to go with a gasoline engine on my next purchase. If convinced it would last 500k miles, I would definitely/maybe make the change. Once an O/O gets locked into a...

Clearly, there must be a silent agreement between the Dems and the GOP to turn a blind eye toward border issues and illegal immigration. This selective enforcement of law erodes respect for government.

As the coal mining industry became more and more mechanized, far fewer miners were needed to extract coal from the Earth. The total numbers of actively employed coal miners, in Appalachia, plummeted between 1960 and 2010. While coal production remains fairly strong in Eastern Kentucky and West...

The Obama administration abhors the coal mining industry. What on Earth were the good folks of West Virginia thinking by electing another Democrat, Joe Manchin, to the US Senate? Obama pretty much said in the campaign of 2008, if elected, he intended to tax the coal industry out of existence...

Just watched an update on Eric Fuller. He was charged with threatening and disorderly conduct. The deputy sheriff being interviewed indicated Fuller was now hospitalized on a 72-hour psychiatric hold. Best bet is he will be given a slight slap on the wrist and be sent home. Making a direct...

Fox News is now reporting one of last week's shooting victims in Arizona, Eric Fuller, has been arrested for uttering a death threat during a televised townhall meeting. Seems the intended recipient of the threat is a Tea Party organizer. It was further reported Mr. Fuller has been referred...

Over the Christmas holidays, my son described the death of a US Marine at the hands of an Afghani barber. The young Marine and a couple of buddies walked into a nearby village to get haircuts and see the town. The Marine patiently waited for his turn in the barber's chair. Once seated and...
