I was going to wait to talk about the stem cell bill recently signed by California Gov. Gray Davis until I'd had time to digest it and until I'd heard what Ramesh Ponnuru had to say. The first of these things has occurred. To summarize, if you don't want to follow the link, Ramesh says […]
From a letter writer to National Review Online's "The Corner:" I thought you might enjoy hearing about an example of the environmental craziness unleashed in the Clinton military. As a military engineer, I was involved in an F-16 test program at Edwards AFB, CA. Evidently there was some endangered desert tortoise that was indigenous to […]
Citizen Gore said in his speech yesterday that President Bush was wrong to press for a war in Iraq when the war on terrorism is left unfinished. Many people who support a war on Iraq, however, are convinced that toppling Saddam Hussein is part of that same war on terror. But even for those who […]
