Democrats are killing business in Pennsylvania

I came across an interesting column by Ralph Reiland, who teaches economics at Robert Morris University. He's also a prolific columnist for the Pittsburg Tribune-Review, one of the few conservative newspapers around.

Reiland makes the argument that the "bigger government" policies of Ed Rendell and his Democratic followers have ruined Pennsylvania's economy. Let this be a warning for the rest of the country if Rendell's pick for president, Hillary Clinton, gets in.

Here's Reiland's column at The American Spectator.

The absurdity of Al Gore's Nobel Prize

I was having trouble sleeping last night. Must have been the news that Al Gore was named the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. This confirms my long-held belief that mental illness is the most under-diagnosed disease afflicting mankind. Certainly, the selection committee must include escaped mental patients. But it shouldn't come as any surprise. The radical left has infiltrated many of our institutions, including television, colleges and universities, politics and many world agencies such as the U.N. There's a logical explanation for Gore's selection. Follow the pattern as presented by the blog When Evil Prospers.

Holding Hillary Clinton accountable

Where does Hillary Clinton stand on the Iraq War? Depends on which day of the week and which way the wind is blowing. Interesting post by Tony Phyrillas about how the mainstream media treats Madame Clinton differently, especially when it comes to her flip-flop on the war.

And that photo of the lady protesting Bush in Lancaster, Pa. Looks like Cindy Sheehan has some relatives in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
