In light of what I’ve written over the last few weeks about the hurricanes in Florida and our nation’s dealings with Israel, this is pretty cool.
Rather Biased
I’ve avoided reading or writing about Dan Rather as much as possible because it seems the whole blog world, as well as the talk-radio world has been talking it to death, but I just want to ask: is he gone…
Why We Need to Be Pro-Israel
I’ve mentioned in the past that I’ve come across some interesting corrolations between American pressure on Israel to give in to terrorism and natural disasters on our own soil. It’s actually not limited to just natural disasters, it also includes…
Iraqi Quagmire?
