What's Hot Blog Columns Funnies
Wednesday, January 24, 2007 Hugh Hewitt: ?So Let Us Find Our Resolve, And Turn Events Toward Victory.? First principles plus the resolve to defend them are the mark of great presidents, and it has always been so in the history of the country. Michelle Malkin: The Coming Amnesty Disaster Last month, President Bush signed off on a few dog-and-pony illegal immigrant employment raids. Whoop-de-doo. Today's Funnies : Austin Bay: The Quest for Kosovo's "Final Status" After 16 years of war and peacekeeping, the Great Yugoslav War of Devolution has entered a new, promising phase. But don't call it finished, and don't call it peace -- at least not quite yet. Paul Greenberg: A Life In The Family The voice on the answering machine was that of my favorite cousin ? a sweet, always assuring voice I?d known since earliest childhood. It was just as slow and Southern as ever but this time you could hear the strain and hesitation in it, not just the always present consideration. Debra J. Saunders: Moving People, Moving Dollars If you wonder why Sacramento can't balance a budget, see what happens when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger exercises a modicum of fiscal discipline in his proposed $143 billion state budget. Suzanne Fields: The Singles Without Bliss More than a decade ago I floated a book proposal with the title "Women Without Men," an ironic reference to Ernest Hemingway's "Men Without Women." John Stossel: Milton Friedman Day A "Day of National Debate" about Friedman's work will be held at universities, and free-market think tanks throughout America will hold events. Walter E. Williams: Minority View Political commentator Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) warned that "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." The Weather Channel has taken up that task with its series "It Could Happen Tomorrow." Paul Weyrich: Strategic Defense Initiative We are in the midst of a new space race. This race, unlike the last, is one that usually is ignored - or derided - by the news media. Unlike the last, this one is deadly serious. Kathleen Parker: Not Your Friend Flicka Critiquing American culture is tricky for people in the family newspaper business, especially this week as two controversial movies open at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Terence Jeffrey: The Terrorist Defense Initiative The initial hours of this year's edition of Fox's blockbuster series "24" focused on a group of "Islamic militants" who detonate a small nuclear bomb in Southern California. Jonah Goldberg: Child's Play In her first appearance as a presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton spoke at a community center while holding the hand of small child. Nancy Pelosi has said that when she took the Speaker's gavel, she took it "from the hands of the special interests and (put it) into the hands of America's children." Sen. Barbara Boxer recently belittled Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice because Rice doesn't have children and therefore cannot appreciate the full impact of war the way Boxer can. Brent Bozell III: Diversity for Diversity's Sake The "historic" Democratic presidential primaries of 2008 are kicking in already, and the online announcements of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have spun the media into a frothy sweet frappucino of giddiness. Tony Blankley: Hillary: a Time for Chatting Last weekend, Hillary Rodham Clinton presented herself for election to the presidency of the United States with the timeless, clarion call: Michael McBride: Killing the All Volunteer Force I suppose I come from what?s left of America?s warrior class. Not the 'noblesse oblige' style warrior of the Civil War or World War II, but a working class stock of martial warrior who serves for a sense of individual purpose, and who coincidentally comes from a line of previous warriors. Mike S. Adams: Life and How to Live it, Part VII The man and his wife were married while they were still in school and had a little boy before they graduated. The second child was born several years later. They had a very good life with in-laws taking the two-hour drive to visit the grandchildren from time to time. David Limbaugh: The Un-Fairness Doctrine: Unevening the Playing Field, by Law Beware of liberals using such words as "fairness." In resurrecting the "Fairness Doctrine," liberals are trying to kill conservative talk radio and restore their media monopoly. Period. Maggie Gallagher: Chuck Schumer's imaginay friends Eureka! Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has the solution: "The 50 Percent Solution." Schumer is credited, as much as any other man, with putting into place the strategy that regained Democrats control of both houses of Congress. William F. Buckley: Politics for a billion The round number is now $500 million. Five hundred million dollars is what each major party's presidential nominee is expected to spend between now and Nov. 4, 2008. Kenneth Blackwell: On Keeping Perspective and Beginning Again Although Los Angeles Dodgers? center fielder Willie Davis was widely considered the fastest man in baseball throughout the 1960s and 70s, he is perhaps more often remembered for a remark he made following game two of the 1966 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. Even more important than his amazing speed, Davis had extraordinary perspective. Michael Medved: Mr. Bush: Surprise Us With Brevity, Big Goals, Bipartisanship Maybe it's not "The Most Important Speech of His Presidency" -- according to conventional wisdom, that would have been his recent announcement of a "new direction" in Iraq -- but the upcoming State of the Union address still presents a hugely significant opportunity for President Bush. Ed Feulner: An Agenda Republicans and Democrats Should Advance in Congress When historians sit down to write about the recently departed 109th Congress, one fact is likely to stand out: The supposedly conservative majority spent as if it was a liberal majority. Patrick Hynes: Sen. McCain and the New Media Sen. McCain has a lot of relationship building to do with bloggers. Some will be unwilling to hear him out. Others will be willing to hear him out but will remain unpersuaded. And some, in time, may come around. Rest assured, we are reaching out to bloggers in an aggressive way Lawrence Kudlow: An Excellent Economic State of the Union Jay Sekulow: We?re Not Out of the Woods Yet While we are pleased that the Senate bill passed with the grassroots lobbying language removed, trouble looms in the House of Representatives. Rich Lowry: Hillary The Calculator When Hillary Clinton announced her presidential exploratory committee while sitting on a couch in her living room, she didn't project warmth so much as a sense that she was desperately trying to project warmth Janet M. LaRue: ESCR: It's Off to See the Wizard "There's Emerald City! Oh, we're almost there at last! At last! It's beautiful, isn't it? Just like I knew it would be! He really must be a wonderful wizard to live in a city like that!" But as all who've seen <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> know, Dorothy's initial opinion was wrong. Chuck Colson: Informed Choice During the thirty-fourth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, you heard a great deal about the victims of abortion. That phrase?for obvious reasons?nearly always referred to the tens of millions of unborn children who have been killed as the result of Roe. Caroline B. Glick: The Rule of Lawyers Israel prides itself on being the only democracy in the Middle East. But if we are not careful, we will lose that distinction.	Guests: Duncan Hunter & David Asman Tony Snow and Sen. Mitch McConnell on the State of the Union address Pres. Bush gets ready for his State of the Union. Dennis gets ready for his.
