5. What's the Difference Between the Government and the Mob?
by Erick Erickson A law school professor of mine once said the only major difference between the government and the mafia is that the government calls its bill collector the "IRS" and the mafia calls its bill collector "Big Louie." While an exaggeration to make a rhetorical point, if the Senate dips below 41 Republican Senators this year, there will be one other difference between the government and mafia that goes out the window. 
4. Pakistan, Iran and Bush's Last Months
by Jed Babbin For the next 169 days, George W. Bush will be President of the United States. For ninety-one of those days, our attention will be focused more on the contest to succeed him than on what Bush can and should do in his remaining days in office.
3. Obama Watch: A Ludicrous Double Standard
by Lisa De Pasquale Every time a right-winger like Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh offends the sensibilities of the Left, they demand that Republican presidential candidates and party leaders denounce the joke and the person -- and, unfortunately, they do. It was reported last week that rapper Ludacris's new song "Politics As Usual" insults President Bush, Senator Hillary Clinton and John McCain. The Associated Press wrote, "The song brags about an Obama presidency being destiny. It uses an expletive to describe Clinton, calls Bush 'mentally handicapped' and says McCain doesn't belong in 'any chair unless he's paralyzed.'" (Continued Below) 
2. Gauging Obama's Energy Policy
by A.W.R. Hawkins Barack Obama recently announced that if elected President, he would implement a "windfall profits tax" on oil companies to force them to "contribute a reasonable share" of their profits to American families burdened by high energy costs. The money would come to families via rebates, or "stimulus checks," from the federal government. And while he was obviously proud of his big idea, Obama did not bother mentioning that the Democrat practice of putting socialism first, the environment second, and the American people third, is what brought us to the brink we now face over energy costs in the first place. He also remains mute on the fact that the rebates really aren't rebates at all, and will result in higher prices at the pump once they are issued.
1. Don't Buy Le Tanker
by Bay Buchanan The debate over whether America's Boeing or Europe's Airbus should be given the contract to build America's next generation of mid-air refueling tankers has focused on several important topics, including the embarrassing flaws a recent General Accountability Office report found in the Air Force procurement process, the reshuffling of Pentagon jobs in its wake, and the suitability of both aircraft for the mission, chronicled in an excellent series in HUMAN EVENTS. Join us every day next week for articles by Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, Dick Morris, Mark Levin, Michael Reagan, David Limbaugh and many more as well as a special one-on-one interview with Rush only here on HUMAN EVENTS.  |
