I'll be out all day tomorrow, as I'm headed to Gering for some sort of a state Republican Party "strategy session." I personally wasn't invited, but am attending with someone who was. If there's anything of note blog wise, I...

Hillary Clinton has decided to vote against John Roberts. Earlier I had suggested that she was the real bellwether of the Democrats. I had predicted she would vote for Roberts because, as Michael Corleone would say, It's the smart move....

I've been a Miami Dolphin fan for a long time, thanks largely to Dan Marino, but this current incarnation of the 'Fins is just pathetic. Ricky Williams? Please. I hope that new coach Nick Saban can right the ship, and...

From NewsMax: Yesterday's anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., is being hailed as the biggest since the halcyon protest days of the Vietnam war - a claim that seems to surface every time the anti-war left gets together en-masse. Leaving the...

'Corpse Bride' Stares Us Cold in the Face

The new movie "Corpse Bride" is getting great reviews. And it's probably destined for a pretty good take at the box office. But it could have been much more. If it had been more faithful to its source material, it would have been a profound film, not just an entertaining diversion.

Duelling Views of Hurricances

Here's a bit of scientific fact vs. emotional assertions based on...?

First the moonbat envirowacko viewpoint, as expressed by no less than Brabra Steisand herself reported on Drudge: This summer's back to back superstorms are proof positive we have entered a new period of "global warming emergency," artist/citizen Barbra Streisand warns.

Streisand is back on the scene to promote her reunion disc with Barry Gibb. As hellstorm "Rita" churned in the Gulf, Streisand sat down for a promotional interview with ABCNEWS's Diane Sawyer. "We are in a global warming emergency state, and these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," Streisand urgently declares.

On the other hand, comes Max Mayfield of the National Hurricane Center, who unambiguously states that the current spate of severe hurricanes is part of a previously noted and still active cycle of high vs low hurricane activity. If you want to know what's going on, THIS is the guy to listen to!
