To all my friends and family out there, here’s wishing you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2008.

Hang in there, because 2008 is going to be a wild ride, but also a very significant time for this nation. God bless us all.

I thought I’d seen it all…..but nooooooo…. check this one out.

Since when does this overtly flawed logic make sense? No wonder I’ve never heard of this ‘cartoonist’ before. “Big Fat Whale?” Yup… not in my Sunday paper.

Where is the Christian outrage? Why aren’t Christians rioting in the streets, burning cars, throwing rocks at police, burning flags, threatening to kill this obviously atheist comic? Oh yeah, that’s right. Christians are tolerant. Sorry…my bad.

I know this person isn’t as bad as Ted Rall, but sheesh! What’s up with this Christian-phobia? I don’t find this ‘comic’ funny at all.

Fred Thompson was on H&C tonight, and I thought this was one of his best performances ever. Perhaps it was because it was off-the-cuff and not scripted. Whichever it is, I liked it. I’m leaning more towards Fred than I was comfortable doing so before. In this case, Fred is not at a loss for immediate answers, and that’s what we need in a leader in these consequential times.

He’s a plain-spoken man, and I like that. There’s something to be said for laid-back genuineness.

No words are necessary for what happened to Benazir Bhutto today in Pakistan. Today from my favorite political cartoonist, Michael Ramirez.

No saint herself, but she was a significant political figure in the region. The GWOT rages on.

Recently John Layfield of the WWE was on Fox Business Channel with Neil Cavuto discussing their recent trip to Iraq to support our Military. It’s unbelievable the positive stories that are happening in Iraq are not getting MSM attention, but it really doesn’t surprise me. That’s what the bloggers and the new media are for.

Well, I may be a couple days late and more than a dollar short, but here is the video of Barbara Walters being aghast at receiving a “Christian” Christmas card from President Bush and his family. The stunned host of The View displayed the card apparently hoping to elicit a complimentary response to her reaction. Did she get it?

Here’s a partial transcript from LifeSite:

“First of all, let me show you the cover of the White House, which is nice and bland…So that’s pleasant enough. This is what interested me, that it is a religious Christmas card. Usually in the past when I have received a Christmas card, it’s been ‘happy holiday’s’ and so on- And this says:

“‘You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You gave life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.’

“That’s from Nehemiah in the Old Testament. I don’t remember- and I’m sure people will remind me-getting a religious card. Now does this also go to agnostics and atheists and Muslims and -”

Moderator Whoopie Goldberg and co-host Sherri Shepherd tried to steer clear of controversy by joking that the Scriptures were about Walters, but Walters persisted in her critique, asking, “Don’t you think it’s a little interesting that the president of all the people is sending out a religious Christmas card?”

Oh, the HORRORS! Please, Barbara, save us from this absolute TRAGEDY of a U.S. President expressing his Christian wishes during this *gasp* “Christmas” holiday!

Watch Barbara’s shameful display here.

A heartfelt video I created as a tribute to our men and women in the Military serving this great country.
