171 Days until Election Day
May 17, 2008
MORNING UPDATE:
WHY TAXPAYERS ARE LOSING…the Democrats' strategy is very simple…if you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can usually count on Paul’s support.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS…ENDORSED BY RTL… The rights of the unborn were blatantly ignored by House Democrats again today as they allowed the heinous and unethical partial birth abortion procedure to continue in Michigan. Speaker Pro-Tem Mike Sak gaveled down and refused to hear arguments on seven amendments to ban partial birth abortion.

Posted at 1:51am on Apr. 6, 2008 Charlton Heston Passes Away
A great actor and a believer in inalienable rights
By Ben Domenech
Here's my Charlton Heston story.
When I was a teenager, and a lowly intern for Human Events, I spent my days writing about all sorts of topics that were, let's face it, not interesting enough to the editors to assign real, paid journalists.
Once, I wrote an article about gun rights, and an attack on them via a bill before the House of Representatives. It was a slightly different attack than those usually employed by the gun-grabbers, as I recall, but the details are lost to me. In any case: I went to a few hearings, I talked to a few staffers, and I wrote about it.
About a week after the story ran, I came back to my desk to find a pink "While you were out" note from the office secretary. Someone from then-National Rifle Association President Charlton Heston's office had called, the note said, asking for copies of my article. Please return call for address.
I dialed the number. A man picked up. And I heard Charlton Heston say, "Hello?"
I was stunned into silence for a moment. I glanced at the note - it was a California area code. I realized it did not say Charlton Heston's office had called - that had been assumed. No, it was the man himself. I had no idea what to say.
"Uh...Mr. Heston, I'm calling from Human Events, and I heard you were interested in copies of my article?"
"Oh, yes!" he replied. Could I send a few copies of the issue over to him, he asked? But of course. He gave me his address, ending with, "and that most hideous of zip codes, 9-0-2-1-0."
I still didn't know what to say, but figuring this was the only time I'd end up with the actor on the phone, I just added: "And sir, let me say as a fan, thank you so much for all the amazing work you've done on screen."
He laughed, and said "No, thank you, I appreciate it."
Made my week, that did.
R.I.P.

I was not going to get raped. I was not going to get murdered.
If the NRA and other such organizations were smart, they'd rush to make this woman and her story as widely known as possible.
She strikes me as exactly the sort of gun owner that the MSM is generally very careful about giving too much publicity, prefering instead to feature people like that crazy looking i***t at the CNN/YouTube Clinton Garden Republican debate as the typical gun owner.
