An Apology To Afghan President Karzai
U.S. military personnel burned copies of the Koran in Afghanistan inciting anti-American riots and the murder of two U.S. troops. President Obama apologized, but one citizen doesn’t think he went far enough in expressing American regret.

The Right Man? How ’bout Neither?
As the Republican presidential primary heats up, so does discussion about potential candidates for the other half of the ticket. The conversation is mostly for entertainment as it’s far too early to get into the logistics of picking a running mate, especially since there isn’t yet a clear winner for the top slot. So, maybe we should talk about something a little different.

After Party?
The Republican primary season has yielded no clear winners, frontrunners or favorites. The four remaining candidates are carving up voters and delegates and the prospect of going into the convention without a nominee is growing. With six months to go, it’s not yet possible to predict who will represent the GOP against Barack Obama in November, but it’s likely the selection process will get very dramatic.

Truth and Music
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is ….
I was gonna say “porn for the Right,” but thought that a bit indelicate.
Or, a “buffet of conservative ideals,” but fat guys really shouldn’t use food metaphors.
“A philosophical fun ride” sounds too much like an acid trip – or so I’m told.
Trying to capture the atmosphere at CPAC is tough. One pretty much has to experience it to fully grasp the passion of these 8,000 attendees. This is no horde of wild-eyed demonstrators or strident anarchists. Rather, the tone is deliberate and informed, as a collective surgeon preparing for a delicate, life-slaving prodecure.

A Powerful Force
There is a powerful force in American politics and, particularly, the Repyblican Party. It’s not an organized group, a registered union or a structured political entity, but it’s a demographic that determines the outcome of every election.

Palin: Cannibals in GOP Establishment Employ Tactics of the Left
We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent.

Running the GOP Numbers
The race for the Republican nomination for President is still in the embryonic stages, and, as is always the case with politics, things can change overnight. Still, there are some very interesting (telling?) numbers to consider even this early in the process.

Non-Predictions
I don’t like making predictions. Forecasting too often ricochets back on the conjurer and exposes him/her as … wrong. Ask any TV weatherperson – sorry – meteorologist. The first of the year is loaded with prophecies for the twelve months ahead as “experts” will fill columns and airtime with prognoses for everything from who will win Academy Awards to stock market picks, the Super Bowl, celebrity divorces (and deaths), natural disasters and the economy.

Gingrich Off Leash
In many respects, Newt Gingrich is the ideal choice to the Republican nominee for President and, ultimately, President of the United States. But, as is far too often the case, he is his candidacy’s greatest challenge.
