The Day's Top Stories and Commentary

Ok, my friends, here is a run-down on today's top stories, along with my commentary. Sit back, relax, and read. Things are getting very interesting out there.

1. 'Little Chucky' Schumer, D-NY, has declared that Reaganism is dead. In a recent interview Little Chucky stated that with the Democrat insurgency in Congress, the principles of Reaganism have been sent packing--to the grave, that is. You will remember that Reaganism, named after the most popular President of the 20th Century, Ronald Reagan, involved the principles of low taxes, free markets, personal liberty, pro-life, expansion of prosperity, and 'peace through strength'--a doctrine that ultimately brought down the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall. Apparently Little Chucky hopes that most of us have forgotten all of that. We haven't.

Nice try, Little Chucky. We haven't forgotten, and there are plenty of us still out here who are going to be watching every move you and your socialist cohorts make.

2. Senator Jim Webb, D-Virg., has already had a run-in with President Bush at a reception recently in Washington. During the campaign I warned you right here on The Liberty Sphere about Webb and his knee-jerk reactions to situations. I strongly advised Virginians against putting him in office. Here we see an example of why I issued the warning.

Webb admitted that during the reception he avoided President Bush. This, in itself, is a bad omen. When a U.S. Senator has just been elected to office, and he immediately has such animosity toward the President of the United States that he avoids meeting him, surely most rational people will see the problem. However, despite Webb's efforts at avoidance, Bush tracked him down to ask him how his son was doing. Webb's son is serving in Iraq.

This is where the conversation went sour. Rather than answer the President's question, Webb launched into his campaign theme instead. He said, 'I just want my son to come home from Iraq.'

The President stated, 'I didn't ask you that. I asked you how your son is doing.'

Webb retorted, 'That is between me and my son.'

What a rude idiot. My hunch is that many Virginians are already regretting their decision to elect this uncouth boob to office.

3. A sudden, violent mystery illness has hit former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar while on a trip to Ireland. Gaidar is now in stable condition at a Moscow hospital, but initially the illness, according to Gaidar, was life-threatening, involving violent bouts of vomiting and bleeding. Physicians have not been able to determine the cause of the illness. However, Anatoly Chubais, a friend of Gaidar and head of Russia's electric monopoly, stated that Gaidar may have been poisoned.

So far, however, there is no sign of radiation being involved in the illness. The incident does give rise to suspicion in light of the fact that two high profile Russians have fallen to mystery illness in just two weeks, the first being a former KGB agent who had converted to Islam fell ill to radiation poisoning, which proved lethal.

Gaidar has been one of the so-called 'softer critics' of Russian President Vladmir Putin. His daughter is the head of the opposition movement in Russia.

A few critics have suggested that Muslim insurgents in the country have devised a scheme whereby top Russian officials are poisoned in such a way as to point the finger at Putin...all in an attempt to weaken the government and gain a stronger foothold as they have done in France, Britain, and other European countries. The difference in Russia is that the society is more closed than in western Europe, and thus, the attempt to gain power there is a much more difficult task than in those societies that have been historically free and open.

According to Russian TV, these two incidents are merely the latest in a string of mysterious illnesses that have hit Russian leaders over the past few months. The buzz is that the source of the incidents lies in the murky world of the Muslim insurgency and Muslim immigration.
