"Even Democrats can't destroy the American military in only eight years."
--Charles Krauthammer on Inside Washington
Quote of The Day
Muslim or Not, Watch Your Mouth: A Chicago woman of Muslim descent shouted
her way into detention at Chicago's O'Hare airport this weekend and it had
nothing to do with profiling. Good advice if you are flying anywhere at the
year's end.
Don't shout "bomb" in a crowded airport.
Come On Baby, Light My Fire: In an effort to turn their town into a PC
paradise, the city fathers of Berkeley are well on their way to making it
completely unlivable. Now they have
banned wood burning fireplaces.
Even
though one gets what they vote for, when are the good citizens of that town
going to revolt?
The Family that Drinks Together........ No need to finish that rhyme as
reports of Chelsea slapping back the grape keep cropping up. Here's one that
has her and her Dad getting looped enough to lose a cellphone and make the
New York papers. The tabloids this week have some interesting pictures of
Chelsea lurching around London with her partying Oxford pals.
Looks like a trend.
More Airport Blues: If the screener who patted you down at the airport this
season was rude, none-too-bright and badly groomed it's because the government
seems to want them that way.
Check the shoes of the guy next to you.
Looks like no one else will.
Look on the Light Side: As horrible as 2001 turned out to be, Joe Kovacs at
World Net Daily has managed to find
some hilarious news dispatches
from this grim year. Remember, if you lose your ability to laugh, the terrorists have
won.
LDotterNote: The President tells us that Phase One of the war is over. Now we
move into Phase Two and it's bound to bring with it some bad stuff. We've
proved what Americans are made of in the last three months. That strength
will sustain us for what is to come. This site has done its small part in
offering a Support Thread to help our members cope. We have discontinued it
