Janet Napolitano is the Secretary of Homeland Security. She is the face of the “war on terror”. She is the image of our strength and commitment to destroy Al Qaeda. She is our junkyard dog. She is a chihuahua! (more…)

Can Janet Napolitano be John Wayne to the Terrorists?
Friday, January 1st, 2010What is Our Greatest Weapon Against Exploding Underwear?
Monday, December 28th, 2009I could not resist that title after learning the terrorist aboard the flight to Detroit had the bomb ingredients sewn in his underpants. Growing up with all brothers, exploding underwear has an entirely different meaning, but this is now serious business. What happened on this flight is the key to stopping future terrorist attacks. Everyone today is saying that our security failed, I say just the opposite. (more…)
A Christmas Political Question- Would Jesus Be a Democrat or Republican?
Monday, December 21st, 2009Some might wonder why I would bring Jesus into politics. Others would even question if Jesus should be a part of Christmas! After all, isn’t it really about Santa Claus? I confess to be both a political junkie and a follower of Jesus. I am not much into religion, but I do believe Jesus is the Higher Power. Regardless of my failures and hypocrisies, he is the center of life, politics, and certainly Christmas. So, if he were here today would he be a democrat or republican? (more…)
Are we a Nation of Laws? Or Lawyers?
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009It was just announced that the prisoners from Gitmo will be brought to a maximum security prison in Illinois. It won’t happen quickly because the law is in the way. It happens to be against the law to bring enemy combatants, captured outside the country, into the country for imprisonment and trial. But no problem, the lawmakers (lawyers) will just change the law! (more…)
Does the Military Need a New Deck of Cards?
Friday, December 11th, 2009The press has chronicled the failures of the Iraq War over and over. One idea, however, was undeniably successful and might help in our current Afghanistan/Al Qaeda war. The military developed a set of playing cards to help the troops identify the most-wanted members of Saddam’s inner evil circle. Saddam was the ace of spades. It was fun watching the news those days to see who would be nabbed next. (more…)
How Can the United Nations Save the Planet When It Couldn’t Stop Saddam?
Monday, December 7th, 2009The 15th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference is taking place in Denmark. It would take a lot for me to believe the UN can do anything to stop global warming. During the 90′s the UN’s handling of Saddam Hussein illustrates their inability to deal with a threat. (more…)
What is Al Gore’s carbon footprint?
Sunday, November 29th, 2009If the Earth is our mother then Al Gore must be our daddy. He is the self-appointed prophet of climate doom. Since losing to George W Bush in 2000 he has been given wealth, power, and prestige like none before him. Hollywood gave him an Oscar, their highest award. The world bestowed upon him the Nobel Peace Prize. He has made more money than most governments in this decade alone. All in the name of saving the environment. I just want to know his carbon footprint. (more…)
Will Environmental Politics Destroy America?
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Americans like clean. We want to drink pure water and breathe safe air. We like to see the stars at night and blue skies in the day. The Environmental movement is taking advantage of these good feelings to promote an agenda that would make Karl Marx proud. (more…)
Is Sarah Palin a Joke?
Thursday, November 19th, 2009David Brooks, columnist for the New York Times and a Republican, called Sarah Palin a joke on a recent television news program. Her book is out and the press is consumed with her. They say she cost McCain the chance to be President, she was not up to the task of a VP, she is unintelligent, and she is a disgrace to the Republican party. She is laughed at, but certainly not ignored. (more…)
Want 11 Reasons NOT to Try the 9/11 Terrorists in New York?
Saturday, November 14th, 2009The decision to try the mastermind of 9/11 in a public New York civilian court is astonishing. The Guantanamo Detention Center was specifically built to imprison terrorists and treat them as war criminals to be tried in a military court. It is also surrounded by water and easier to defend against an attack. But we are bringing them “home for dinner”. New York, I hope you are ready for the next round of suicide bombers. (more…)
