Kim Jong-il Dead at 69
After suffering a major heart attack, according to North Korean state media, Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il has died. Kim, who is succeeded by his third son, Kim Jong-un, rose to power in 1994 after the death of his father, Kim Il-sung.

Christmas Winners and Losers
by Ronald A. Rowe December 21st, 2011 | Conservative Considerations, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Welcome to a special Christmas edition of Winners and Losers. Notice that I say “Christmas” and not “Holiday” or “Season”. Read on to find out why.
WINNERS:
Christmas –
Christmas is a winner this week. A new Rasmussen Poll says that 79% of Americans think Christmas (and other religious holidays) should be celebrated in the public schools. Of those who do celebrate Christmas, 80% consider it to be a religious holiday, despite the nigh-overwhelming onslaught of commercialism and secularism that has invaded the holiday.
Also included in the survey results - 70% would rather see “Merry Christmas” on a store

In this last round of Republican debates, the judicial system took quite a beating from several candidates. Newt Gingrich called for the abolition of certain left-leaning courts, Rick Perry called for the end of lifetime appointments for judges, and Michele Bachmann said it was time for people to take back the power from judges.
So how is it that this bunch, who praise the constitution as being only second to the bible in its importance as guidelines to how we live our lives, can suddenly be so critical of such a basic principal of the constitution?
Of course it goes without

With the exception of Alec Baldwin in the Loser Column, I’m honestly surprised by who made the lists this week. Such are the vagaries of the political world that I would not have seen any of these coming a month ago. Drop a note in the comments below if you’d like to nominate a candidate for next week’s Winners and Losers.
WINNERS:
Ron Paul –
As the various Republican contenders fall by the wayside for sundry reasons, Ron Paul looks less like a fringe kook and more like a legitimate option. He placed third in the latest Iowa poll, just one
