Could this be a sign the citadel of conservatism is cracking? Looks like the oldest-school DJ has lost the edge.

How do you 'secretly' stop in Taiwan?

wouldn't the state department notice when you submit an itinerary?

and wouldn't your boss wonder where you were for four days?

He's a car dealer and developer, you can't expect him to speak English...

Kenneth Ross of Pennsylvania has a horse entered in the Hambletonian, which I'm sure you know to be the most prestigious event in harness racing. The horse's name? Tom Ridge.

The horse used to be named Sixty One until the Pittsburgh native bought it a year ago. "I worked with Tom Ridge when he was governor," Ross said by telephone from his home in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. "When we bought the horse and I saw what a fine specimen it was, I said we have to name him after good people, and there is no better people than Tom Ridge."

Is our car dealers learning?

Safer?

If you were the Bush Administration (yes, all of it) and you wanted to make the world safe from terrorists' getting nuclear weapons, what would you do?

Some would suggest you support the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty. After all, it limits the amount of fissile material in the world, meaning anyone who makes weapons-grade plutonium, whether Santa Claus or Niger, is doing so illegal. Not only that, but when combined with an inspection and verification regime, it means you can find out which countries have exactly how much plutonium to sell to Mr. Bin Laden - and thus stop them from doing it.

But if you're the Bush Administration, you reverse U.S. policy and support the FMCT without verification. After all, it would have been nice to know if Saddam had any yellowcake, it would be nice to know if North Korea has highly enriched uranium, and it probably wouldn't hurt to find out if Russia even knows where it keeps its old weapons, but according to your State Department, an inspection regime is "costly." And since you're a Republican, you believe in a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility while sparing no expense for national security.

Wait, what?

Tactful he isn't...

A certain Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to be slightly upset. After all, it must be frustrating when people stop doing what you want merely because you're large, muscular, and offering them expensive cigars. And you can't even drop a tree trunk on them or take them out with a shotgun!! What tolerance our dear Governor must have, for he has chosen instead to take his case to the people...that's the only way to get those "girlie men" out of office, obviously.
