by Lance Thompson Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki gave Barack Obama a boost last week by meeting with the Democrat presidential nominee and endorsing Obama’s plan for a troop pullout in the German magazine Der Spiegel. Such profound gratitude has not been shown since the Brits voted out Winston Churchill after leading his nation safely through World War II. Now that President Bush and General Petraeus have done the heavy lifting of knocking off Saddam Hussein, putting down insurrection... Read Full Story

I had a bad habit. I started when I was young, and always thought I could control it, but I could never get enough, and when I was deprived, the cravings were intense. One day, circumstances forced me to quit, cold turkey. It wasn’t my choice, but it was my good fortune. It’s been a year, and I’m still clean–no television signals coming into the house.When I was a kid, the drug was not very powerful–three channels, black and white. It started innocently with a...

By Rose Pedenko and Tanya Simon George Armstrong Custer lost his luster and got whacked at the Little Big Horn. Senator John McCain spent five years of his life inside a Viet Nam death camp, was beaten and tortured, and survived to tell about it. He too has lost his luster (with conservatives) and is getting whacked by a previously fawning media. Custer was vain, arrogant, ambitious, reckless and a risk-taker. McCain is also vain, arrogant, ambitious, reckless and a risk-taker. But is... Read Full Story

by Lance ThompsonIn every presidential election I can recall, the Democrats have always been at pains to proclaim that their candidate is "the smart one" and the Republican is the "dumb one." Gerald Ford was portrayed as a bumbler compared to Jimmy Carter, who served in the nuclear navy. Ronald Reagan was consistently branded simplistic, uninformed, senile and always just "an actor reading lines." Walter Mondale ran on a platform of superior competence against Reagan.Michael Dukakis... Read Full Story

Mr. Duyet disputes McCain’s account of his captivity, denying that prisoners were beaten, tortured or mistreated. Evidently, Mr. Duyet does not regard the prison’s nickname, "the Hanoi Hilton," as the least bit ironic.Still, the endorsement of an old... Read Full Story

 by Lance Thompson  The campaign of the closet liberal Republican nominee John McCain got a boost last week from the lefties on the Supreme Court with a ruling that terrorists in Guantanamo Bay should have access to American courts. The 5-4 ruling is just a preview of the suicidal thinking that would be reinforced by high court appointments of the Obama administration.  The five libs on the court–Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, Souter and Stevens–handed a victory to our enemies by ruling that...

This February 2008 article is being re-posted in light of new Talking Heads endorsements of Mitt Romney for V.P.By Rose Pedenko and Tanya Simon The structure and strength of conservative ideals as they stood against the anti-climaxes of the Republican state primaries must now be examined based on the outcome of those primaries.
