Obama unscrubbedMarch 03, 2008Steve Gilbert finds interviews of Obama in 2004, now scrubbed from the Chicago Tribune website and the internet, and discovers Obama was opposed to gay marriage and for preemptive airstrikes against Iran (and Pakistan should the jihadis succeed in ousting Musharraf there).

UC Berkeley in Saudi deal?March 03, 2008Does anyone remember how South Africa was shunned in the era of racial apartheid? It was simply unthinkable that a major university would enter into a deal with such a government. But when it comes to the gender apartheid of Saudi Arabia, it's a different story. More

TAX BREAKS FOR HUGO CHAVEZ
No this is not a joke … this is just your American Congress doing what it can to help out a rich, socialist dictator. The House passed legislation last week that repeals subsidies for five major oil and gas companies in order to offset $18.1 billion in renewable-energy tax breaks. However, Citgo Petroleum Corp. would continue to receive the 6% deduction for domestic manufacturing. Citgo is owned by a subsidiary of Hugo Chavez’s PetrĂ³leos de Venezuela. Apparently since Citgo does not drill for oil and gas domestically or abroad, it fails to fall under the bill’s definition of companies that will be losing the tax break.
Does that make any sense at all? The five companies that this bill targeted -- Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil, Shell and ConocoPhillips — all produce and refine and sell in the United States. And because they are domestic, they are going to lose this tax deduction while Hugo Chavez gets to hang on to his. We are giving him money out of our tax payer dollars while limiting our own resources domestically.
This is your MoveOn Democrat Congress at work, ladies and gentlemen.
You’ll be really upset to hear that Darlene Ewing (Democratic activist, longtime feminist) is upset that more women aren’t voting for Hillary.
If only we would adopt this law in Georgia.
In New Jersey, you will be getting a $100 fine if you talk or text message on your cell phone while driving.
