I was so relieved to read that Stone Cold was successful with his Air Support request for Polarcom.  Must be a part of the new direction President Bush spoke about with his 2007 SOTU address.

Many on the Right in the blogosphere have been encouraging everyone to sign “The Pledge”. I haven’t signed this pledge and don’t intend to sign it. Here’s the text:

When I saw Sgt. Rieman highlighted by President Bush last night I knew his name sounded familiar.  I had posted about Sgt. Rieman back on May 4, 2006.  Not only did I tell about his heroic actions on Dec. 3, 2003 but also that he is now an action figure and a video character for […]

His talk about Social Security is […]

Dr. Heather Moss, 35, […]

This was too funny from Lucianne.
Hillary wants to be president and some day these animals may fly
Course it’s the byline that makes this so good! Of course one has to wonder why Hillary announced her intention (yeah, like we haven’t known for the last 6 years that her intention all along was to run for […]
