I watched the news conference with the Pima County Sheriff. The sheriff's left-wing tirade was pure political grandstanding which did more harm than good.

The Associated Press needs new writers. In the very first sentence, in fact in the first three words, the Associated Press incorrectly labels the AWOL infantryman as a Kentucky soldier. Read a little farther down and we discover he is in fact a North Carolinian who happens to be stationed in...

The gunman will face multiple charges by the federal government and the state of Arizona as well. An attack upon a member of Congress is a federal crime, as is an attack upon a federal judge.

Watching Fox News report their live coverage on this story. Seems the shooter was a 22 year-old white male whose ramblings on his MySpace page (as read by Fox reporters) obviously depict a mentally deranged young man. These early reports are invariably chaotic and prone to errors. 18 or 19...

Individuals with criminal intent do not have difficulty purchasing guns in the United States. It is legal for a private sale to take place between two people, totally bypassing the gun dealer route. Also, many states such as Kentucky allow the legal sale of firearms at open air flea markets...

Primitive tribalism is all they have known. While tribalism is their traditional way of life... the average Afghani, I suspect, really wants the Taliban gone. Still, they will cling to their centuries' old customs and traditions. And why not? We have nothing to fear from Islamic...

Sue... my son's Marine unit just returned from deployment in Afghanistan. He and many of his fellow Marines believe it will take a generation, or twenty years, to effect real change. While the military efforts of the US and her allies are generally successful, achieving governmental or...

Didn't Air America die a slow and agonizing death?

Ah, the obligatory photo shot. The Obamas look happy. The royals look less than impressed.

Queen Elizabeth is a great friend of the Bush family. Particularly, Bush the Elder. I have not seen any evidence of warm feelings between the royal family and the Obamas. I can't imagine Prince William or his bride-to-be want Obama anywhere near their wedding. Why spoil an otherwise...

WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is on the way out. Spokesmen such as Gibbs generally have a short shelf-life as their shtick wears thin with the American people rather quickly. Gibbs served his master well, putting the best face possible on Obama's troubles of the day. Pass the baton to the...

This thread had so much potential for serious debate. Then the screaming and bullying arrived. Such antics make real participation nearly impossible.

Luke, the E350's with the 7.3L diesel are tremendously strong performers. Two of mine have over 700,000 miles. The one I currently drive has 360K. Reliability is no issue. There has been a recall to replace the cam sensor on 7.3L Powerstrokes. Had mine replaced by the Ford dealer, took...

Ironically, Ike Ching is a Chinese-American neighbor whom I have taught to speak a corrupted form of Appalachian English. Being a quick study, Ike enthusiastically mastered several key swear words and gestures of contempt in a single tutorial. Regrettably, Ike was barred from airports by the...

The DrudgeReport.com is featuring a similar story this morning about birds falling from the sky over Louisiana. ***Advisory*** Motorcyclists should consider wearing helmet until bird catastrophe is resolved.

Union birds told to get a real job.

Alfred Hitchkock's "B Team."

Kamikaze-style mass suicide.

I am speaking only for myself. I don't care if he was born outside the USA. I realize there are legal requirements to be met for US citizenship... e.g. natural born citizen. I am satisfied he has at least one American parent and he spent nearly all his life living in the USA. There is no way...
