Via Lifenews.com:
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — California congressman Duncan Hunter, who is pro-life, says he is exploring a potential presidential bid in 2008. Hunter, a Republican who has represented the San Diego area for 26 years, would provide pro-life advocates with another alternative to abortion advocates such as Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki.
My curiosity is obviously piqued. Sometime, when I’m not sleep deprived, I’m going to look this guy up. Too good to be true? Most likely. Something to make my dreams happier tonight? Most definitely.

I thought this was a very interesting column in today’s Sun. I usually don’t read Ari’s columns because they can be a little on the dry side (long, serious, not super funny), but at the same time, I’m pretty sure he’s always saying something worthwhile. It’s just a different writing style than I prefer - I mean, he’s no Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin, haha.
But anyway, back on focus. I thought this was an article worth reading, even though it is pretty much common sense. It’s nicely summed up common sense that provides many a retort to silly liberals who say France is where it’s at.
In an era when Europeans view their society as deeply troubled — when they seek to Americanize Europe — it would be silly of us to imitate policies that Europe is now rejecting. Our country’s founding goal was independence from Europe. It would be unfortunate if we were at this late date to adopt the discredited policies of a continent in turmoil.
The next time your not-so-friendly neighborhood socialist drops in for a chat, you can throw some of those facts at him/her. Not that he/she will really care… or listen… or even be near the same intellectual level necessary to comprehend said facts. It will still boost your ego just a bit to know you’re in the right.
Do they even have not-so-friendly neighborhood socialists off college campuses? Besides the insane asylums and the DNC I mean.

I used to think this summed up the cell phone scare pretty concisely. (No offense to the sillies who use those hands-free earphones! Haha…)
Okay, so Drudge has this as his headline, in very BIG BOLD ITALICIZED letters:
Study: Cell phone use increases risk of infertility
I read that and thought to myself, CRAP. I feel empty without my cell phone, but obviously having children in the future would take precedence over my need to call someone every five seconds.
However, the headline of the actual article states, “Men who use mobile phones face increased risk of infertility,” (emphasis added).
Okay, still not especially cool, but at least I don’t have to worry.
Note to my future husband: Stop using your freaking phone.

Again via Drudge: Ford posts biggest loss in 14 years.
Readers who are unaware of the Boycott Ford movement may buy this explanation:
High gasoline prices have caused U.S. consumers to shift away from sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, a segment that represents over 60 percent of Ford’s current sales.
The American Family Association wonders, if that excuse is true, then why aren’t General Motors and Chrysler - who were in the same position as Ford before the AFA boycott - facing the same difficulties?
While Ford, General Motors and Chrysler had similar financial problems when the AFA boycott began, most analysts see General Motors and Chrysler conditions improving. While not responsible for all of Ford’s financial problems, the boycott is not doubt having a major effect. Ford blames it on the cost of gasoline. But General Motors and Chrysler face the same problem of $3 a gallon gas, yet their situation is improving.
Interesting.
If you doubt AFA’s ability to be the force behind such a loss for Ford, check out this. That is only one of many examples of the force behind AFA.

Just saw this via Drudge:
Daschle: Democrats will pick up seven U.S. Senate seats
Hahaha… makes me laugh. I almost forgot this guy existed.
There’s really nothing quote-worthy in this article… besides this:
He also demurred on a possible run for president.
“I haven’t made any decisions, any announcements,” he said. “I think there’s a big field out there … and it’s going to be exciting to see what’s going to happen.”
Daschle visited the politically pivotal states of New Hampshire and Iowa earlier this year to discuss a possible run with voters there.
So, apparently, Daschle has visited New Hampshire to feel the presidential race waters.
(haha, I’m seriously still laughing)
His new motto must be something like: If at first you can’t succeed and hold on to your Senate seat (being the minority leader and all) in South Dakota (of all places!), try try again and run for the presidency!
My question for Mr. Daschle: Honestly, what do you have to do to get a sparsely populated state with no big claim to federal power to sacrifice a Senate Minority Leader and vote in a newbie?
That must take some skill.
