Dick Cheney Intensifies Attacks on Lamont and other Enemies
Many cowardly liberal isolationists are demanding I apologize for accusing Ned Lamont of helping “Al Qaeda types” realize their “bet they can ultimately break the will of the American people” and ruin our ability to “stay in the fight and complete the task.” I shan’t take that back nor my trenchant comment that the Democratic…
Read MoreFidel Poised
Last week the imperialists again unleashed their lies, wishfully proclaiming I was either dead or incapacitated. In fact, I was neither. I was recovering remarkably well from surgery to stop intestinal bleeding. The Cuban people didn’t need to know whether I had cancer or diverticulosis or some other ailment. They only yearned for reassurance their…
Read MoreWhy Israel and Palestine Must Become One State

Read MoreConstruction Magnate Declares that Walls are Key to Peace
“Good fences make good neighbors,” declares a man on the other side of his border with Robert Frost, and the poet considers telling him: “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.” I’m poised online, and at points of conflagration worldwide, to tell Mr. Frost that…
Read MoreThe Most Difficult Choice
Only yesterday did I realize how harsh and mistrusting I’d been. Only then did I understand I should have helped in December 2004 when I received an urgent email from Mrs. Rita Savimbi, wife of heroic Angolan revolutionary and guerilla leader Jonas Savimbi. The erudite Mr. Savimbi, who lyrically spoke seven languages, dedicated forty years…

Read MoreCongressman John Murtha Tells Truth about Iraq, GOP Bleats, Demos Bolt
Tough and forthright Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha recently told the truth about United States involvement in Iraq and for that good service was bombarded by vitriol from Republicans and the stampeding feet of retreating fellow Democrats. Evidently, most leading Democrats in congress either agree with the current fight-fight-damn-the-consequences policy of President George W. Bush or…

Louise loved the beaches and historic mansions, and nearby rivers and bayous, and living just down the road from her daughter and son-in-law. The slower Southern pace also soothed her, and after a few months in Gulfport, Mississippi she’d resolved to stay forever. Why would she leave? Local veterans said no reason to. Sure, in…

“It is most ironic and unfair that I, a supremely righteous man and the epitome of moral rectitude for a generation of divine white conservatives, am currently being pilloried for making an immoral statement. My statement was in fact taken out of context. And that is the only immorality in this tale. What I said…

Do you like tattoos? You’ll see plenty before a Toby Keith concert, especially if it’s outdoors in August in the Inland Empire, an exploding conglomeration of hot and sandy city-towns inhabited by those who can’t afford or don’t want to live near Los Angeles an hour to the west. Out east in the desert, this…
