Blaming Bush – Walter Williams The peak for major hurricanes (categories 3, 4 5) came in the decades of the 1890s, 1930s and 1940s -- an average of nine per decade. Of the 92 giant hurricanes that have struck the U.S. mainland between 1851 and 2004, 61 of them occurred before 1950, long before global warming was an issue. "If you look at the raw hurricane data itself, there is no global warming signal. What we see instead is a strong cycling of activity. There are periods of 25 to 40 years where it's very busy and then periods of 25 to 40 years when it's very quiet." http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/walterwilliams/2005/10/05/159399.html

Ann Coulter on Harriet Miers http://www.anncoulter.org/cgi-local/welcome.cgi

Spoiled brat politics – Thomas Sowell – Part 1 The essence of bigotry is denying others the same rights you claim for yourself. Green bigots are a classic example http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/thomassowell/2005/10/11/170808.html

And Part 2 Focusing on the benefits to some and ignoring the costs to others is another tried-and-true political tactic. …When you buy a home with a great view of the ocean, you do not pay for a guarantee that nothing will ever be built between you and the ocean. You ask politicians to give that to you, at someone else's expense. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/thomassowell/2005/10/13/171103.html

Harriet Who? – Thomas Sowell Before we can judge how the President played his hand, we have to consider what kind of hand he had to play. It was a weak hand -- and the weakness was in the Republican Senators. … The bottom line with any Supreme Court justice is how they vote on the issues before the High Court. It would be nice to have someone with ringing rhetoric and dazzling intellectual firepower. But the bottom line is how they vote. If the President is right about Harriet Miers, she may be the best choice he could make under the circumstances. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/thomassowell/2005/10/07/159683.html

Don’t let Katrina be the excuse to blow away our liberty – Tom DeWeese If George Bush gets his way and the laws are changed to allow the military to take control over the locally elected representatives of the people, then John C. Calhoun will finally get his answer. The United States of America will be a consolidated, absolute power resting on the unrestrained will of those in charge, with the use of force as the ultimate solution. And there will be no way to turn back. The power structure of the nation will have been changed. http://www.newswithviews.com/DeWeese/tom38.htm

The Bennett libel divides the decent left from the indecent left – Dennis Prager http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/dennisprager/2005/10/04/159247.html

Thoughts on public education – Star Parker Value neutral, or as is more often the case, politically correct, government schools will never educate black children who live in social chaos. Rather than trying to rationalize religion and morality back into public schools, the only reasonable approach in today's America is to fight government control of schools. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/StarParker/2005/10/03/158911.html
