Ever since I wrote my first piece on The Golden Compass, I've noticed an uptick in interest in this site from secularists and atheists. Now Black Sun adds his idea to my piece Sonny Perdue Prays for Rain. Why Not? Maybe you could help yourselves out of your own human-created mess instead of a pathetic …
Sonny Perdue Prays for Rain. Why Not?
Secularists can laugh all they want as Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue prays for rain amid drought, but it doesn't change the fact that the other higher powers involved haven't come through for the state in general and Atlanta in particular. The Feds are too scared that certain species will be harmed to slow the flow …
Obama Baby Boomer Bash: Says Hillary, ’60’s Era Boomers Can’t Lead Change
Barack Obama says that Hillary Clinton and ’60’s Era Boomers Can’t Lead Change. He's right. I commented on this problem at the first of the year. But I'm not convinced that a Soros-backed candiate is going to do much better. Or, if he does "better," he does it at the expense of freedom.
It’s Time to Cut a Deal: Pat Robertson Endorses Giuliani
Anyone who thinks that evangelicals are rigid stand-patters are probably picking themselves off of the floor at the news that Pat Robertson has endorsed Rudy Giuliani for the Republican Presidential nomination. It's something I discussed back in February, and my guess is that Pat went through some of the same thought processes as well. Although …

Sen. Charles Grassley Asks Six Ministries To Turn Over Financial Records Within One Month
It's obvious that Sen. Charles Grassley has too much time on his hands, as he asks six ministries to turn over financial records within one month. The "Religious Right" is is political disarray these days. As a Republican (RINO?) Grassley ought to know that. They're certainly not the force to be reckoned with they were …
The End of Dollar Hegemony
The announcement that the Fed Cuts Interest Rate by Quarter Point is another nail in the coffin of dollar hegemony. Dollar hegemony, for those of you who aren't familiar with the term, is the phenomenon whereby the status of the dollar as the world's premier reserve currency affords the greenback "privileges" that other currencies lack. …
The Mother of All Tax Reforms and Battles, Spiritual and Otherwise
Charles Rangel is proposing the "Mother of All Tax Reforms." But he may not know the origin of the phrase he's using to describe it. It's obviously a takeoff of Saddam Hussein's "Mother of All Battles" description of what turned out to be (for him) the rout of the first Gulf War. In a place …

The Class Dilemma of the Edwards Campaign
The news report put out by the Carolina Week staff (video below) and the attempt by John Edwards' campaign to get it pulled shows the dilemma that every candidate that runs on the left has in dealing with the "contradictions" (as Mao Dun would put it) in advancing their cause. Conventional wisdom would have us …

Terror watch list swells to more than 755,000
The terror watch list has expanded to include more than 755,000 names. Almost six years ago I wrote Levelling the Playing Field, and proposed the following hypothetical government action in the wake of 9/11: Enacted restrictions on who could fly, empowering the government to "prequalify" travellers on the commercial air system. In a country as …

Why I Cannot Vote for Hillary, and Other Matters
Greg Cruey has come back with some interesting points in his response to "Keeping Liberals Entertained." But let me start with his last one, namely voting for Hillary Clinton. One of the enduring problems with the current occupant of the White House is that he will not change his idea when events demonstrate that it …
