Forging Ahead

After reading the blogs and a couple of “watercooler conversations,” it’s interesting to me how many people suspect that the apparently forged memos regarding the President’s National Guard service could be part of an elaborate setup by the Karl Rove and his minions. While this is indeed possible, it is by no means probable. Rove … Read more

The World Election

A new poll shows that John Kerry might win the election soundly—if people in other countries could vote. I’m sure the Kerry campaign is happy about the outcome of this poll, considering the downward spiral in which the campaing seems to be caught. What the poll does not show is that most Americans would not … Read more

Overcoming the Goofy Factor

There are sixty days left—look to the left and find flip-flops and floundering. Look to the right, and you’ll see a plan, a proven record, and … Read more

Come Zell or High Water!

Zell Miller just took the nation to church better than a backwoods preacher. The Kerry campaign will surely be out to discredit Miller tomorrow, but I think that the Democrat Miller connects with the pulse of the nation better than any other in his party. This speech will definitely stir the pot, but Miller is … Read more
