Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
In all the media frenzy over Israel’s actions in the past few weeks, one thing that keeps coming up in the news stories, the commentary and the diplomatic mind-games is the repeated accusation that Israel has “disproportionately” responded to the death of several Israeli soldiers and the capture and hostage-holding of two more.

They sometimes rant and rave in a flurry of profanity about some of the most inane things imaginable. And that seems to be [...]
Floyd Landis tests positive for possible drug use in Tour de France. Not rushing to conclusions here, there is a backup sample to test too, but this is disappointing news.
Howard Dean compares Katherine Harris to Stalin during stop in WPB: South Florida Sun-Sentinel West Palm Beach — Democrat leader Howard Dean called the Iraqi prime minister an “anti-Semite” during an address before party loyalists on Wednesday, drawing a swift rebuke from Republicans.
