THE BIG STORY

As we prepare for New Year's celebrations, personal resolutions and plans, concern over the economy, elections, etc... the biggest story of the last few days will linger... and likely fester... into 2008: http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200712/INT20071228b.html
Chaos in Pakistan could lead to terrorists holding keys to the nukes. That's somethign that would make most other stories look insignificant.

MEANWHILE, THE CIRCUS CONTINUES: Here's the latest from Iowa http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/iowa-primary.html

NOT A GOOD TURN IN PAKISTAN

Benazir Bhutto is killed at a rally today... a move that could dramatically change things in the war on terror in that region: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,70131-1298475,00.html

WHO DID IT? Here's the latest: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3100052.ece

LEFTIES ON THE MARCH

JOY TO THE WORLD!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
- Isaiah 9:6

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

NO CONSENSUS

Not everyone agrees with Al Gore... now here's the evidence:

MEANWHILE THE ECONOMY IS DOING BETTER: Much better than what naysayers (like Presidential candidates) are telling us: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/071221/economy.html?.v=6

ILLEGAL IT IS

And now the Mexican government even says the majority of migrants come into the USA illegally: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317404,00.html This at a time when our Border Patrol reports they're getting attacked a whole lot more often... up 38% since October 1st. Time for the Mexican government to help curb the problem and create a vibrant middle
class in their country, so people don't feel the need to risk their lives and break laws to provide for their families.

2007 NOTABLE QUOTABLES

The results are in and the 20th Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting are ready for your enjoyment: http://www.mrc.org/notablequotables/bestof/2007/welcome.asp I was honored to again serve as a judge for this lofty competition.... and even chose the winner in the "Quote of the Year" category. You've gotta see this to believe it!

TRIAL LAWYERS SCARE ME

Mrs. John Edwards tries to frighten Iowa voters by saying "Republicans scare me": http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/12/elizabeth-edw-1.html
And she's married the the reptilian trial lawyer. Egad.

LET 'EM JUDGE

A new study shows that babies are very good when it comes to judging character: http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20071212/ts_csm/ababy;_ylt=
Let's line 'em up and have them winnow out the bad Presidential candidates.

LET THE BICKERING CONTINUE

The Dems go at it... against each other: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2007/12/12/ST2007121202865.html?hpid=topnews

OFF TO THE USS RONALD REAGAN

We'll be flying out to the San Diego-based supercarrier today and doing the show direct from the ship tomorrow. Hear the broadcast on San Diego 1700AM in Southern California from 5 to 9AM Pacific (also online at http://www.sandiego1700.com/) To see photos of previous broadcasts, including last year's maiden deployment and our shows from the Persian Gulf, just search "USS Ronald Reagan" here on the blog... some great photos, too! Our special broadcast on Wednesday is brought to you by The Grand Del Mar and El Cajon Ford.

EXCUSES, EXCUSES: The 25 year teacher-gone-wild blames the 13 year old for their hanky panky: news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071211/ap_on_re_us/teacher

A SPECIAL HOLIDAY TREAT

The "rat boil" is on: http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Suphan-Buri-Bangkok-Thailand/photo//071203/ids_photos_wl/r464081487.jpg/

TAX FOR TOO MANY KIDS

If yoy have more than two kids, the tax man could cometh:http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200712/INT20071210a.html

SHOPPING CENTER WORRIES

After the Omaha massacre, tensions are high at other shopping centers: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071207075053.auvf30tq&show_article=1
My biggest concern is not about wanna-be repeat incidents but those over-reaching bureaucrats who will use the tragedy as a way to grandstand for power... and limit 2nd Amendment rights.

ROMNEY'S DEFENSE

He'll talk about his religion today: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071206/D8TBVOR80.html
This begs the question, "Why the uneven test?" Obama, Clinton et al get a pass on their beliefs but the GOP candidates get constant questions that suggest they're theocracy-minded intolerant types. A little balance, please? The American people are voting for president, not savior.

HARD, COLD REALITIES

Good news from Iraq is ignored by the networks: http://www.mediaresearch.org/realitycheck/2007/fax20071204.asp

SANTA FOLLIES

Some Swedish engineers with too much free time have done calculations on Santa science, including a possibility that the sleigh could be vaporized if overloaded. Hey kids, you'll love this heart-warming story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071203/od_afp/

MEANWHILE, IN THE BORDER WARS: Ramos and Compean should be freed... but for now Johnny Sutton's in deep "stuff": http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200712/NAT20071204a.html It's about time.

BOY SCOUT BATTLE CONTINUES

This time it's in Philly (shades of the San Diego Scout controversies):

IT'S GOOD TO BE CZAR

Putin strenghens his grip on Russia and makes it clear he's not going to let up on his power:
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071203/D8T9LR000.html

WHO'S MORE STABLE?

Republicans, according to a new poll: http://www.gallup.com/poll/102943/Republicans-Report-Much-Better-Mental-Health-Than-Others.aspx
