Monday’s Column: The Comeback of Al Gore
Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers, Politics | Leave a Comment
I usually don’t make predictions — at least not serious ones — but in today’s column at WorldNetDaily I make a prognostication about Al Gore. The conditions are perfect for the former Clinton veep to not only join the fray, but to win the Democrats’ nomination in ’08. Why? Read “Al Gore’s 2nd wind” for more.

Jane: Stop This Crazy Thing!
Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers, Politics, War | Leave a Comment
A girl is born the daughter of a rich and famous actor. The story, all too often, goes downhill from there. Jane Fonda’s story doesn’t really go downhill, but spins sideways, where it loses control, careens into a guardrail, flips, makes exercise videos and comes to rest for a time in Ted Turner’s bank account.

Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
Just three weeks ago, the cartoon bluebirds that flutter around Alec Baldwin’s head were working overtime, as the actor was freaking out because it was 72 degrees in Central Park in early January. Alec was going bonkers in thinking it was a clear sign of end of the world. You’d have thought it was the second coming of [...]

The Stars Align: Al Gore, Democrat Nominee
Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers, Politics | Leave a Comment
At this moment, there are three declared candidates who are considered “front-runners” for the Democrats’ nomination: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. That rattling sound you hear are DNC nerves. It isn’t looking good for Hillary. Though polls show her as the early favorite, Hillary is sitting on so many fences that eventually she’ll succumb to [...]

Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers | Leave a Comment
Here’s a picture of a huge lot being cleared for a home, one that will be “the biggest in the county,” that is being built in North Carolina by former Kerry running-mate and current Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards: Wow, I’d hate to see how many of those trees would have been cut down if Edwards wasn’t such a staunch [...]

Stop the Presses!

Two items have rocked the political world today. 1) Rosie O’Donnell has called for the impeachment of the president. Watch it, Rosie. If you keep going around talking about how much you can’t stand Bush, you’re going to get kicked out of the Lesbian union. 2) Elizabeth Taylor has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. This could [...]

Glenn Beck's Muslim Distraction
Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers, Politics | Leave a Comment
Before writing about Glenn Beck’s hiring as a commentator for ABC’s Good Morning America, which now has certain Arab groups engaged in active protest, I should offer a disclaimer. I have done some writing in the past couple of years for Beck (specifically for Fusion), spoken to him in person, and appeared on his syndicated [...]

Filed Under Current Events, Doug Powers, Politics | Leave a Comment
Since the State of the Union speech, much has been said and written about Nancy Pelosi, who was blinking so much that she’s been offered a job as sign outside a Nevada brothel. Rush Limbaugh surmised that it was some sort of code to Pelosi’s fellow Democrats on when to applaud and when to stay seated. Some people at Free [...]
