Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) has set the bar higher for military intervention in Iraq. Previously "His Obstructionist" demanded, rightly, that Bush needs to make the case to Congress. Now, Daschle wants more. Although Bush expressed the hope earlier this week of receiving a vote of support before Congress recesses in a few weeks, Daschle indicated […]
Columnist Mark Steyn has a great article in The Spectator today. There's only one minor mistake -- Anna Nicole Smith's show is on E! not MTV. The best part: When an opinion-former's caught unawares, he retreats to his tropes, however lame, as Lahr did, and Pilger, Chomsky et al. But the clearest way to understand […]
Make sure you use this quote, courtesy of "Best of the Web Today." Returning from a jaunt overseas, Feinstein revealed that she came across some anti-American sentiment: "As an American, I have always been proud," Feinstein said. "I have a (U.S. flag) pin. I was embarrassed to wear it." Dianne, the proper response is to […]
The Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel demonstrates that the NAACP isn't the Democratic Party's only wholly-owned subsidiary.
I spotted this item last week over at National Review Online, but never got around to addressing it. A piece by Kathryn Jean Lopez takes Congress to task for considering a bill "allowing American servicewomen and other Prince Sultan airbase personnel to go off base without the attire the kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires all […]
Usually I like Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. While I don't always agree with him, I think he does good work -- but this week hasn't been kind to Fox News' wunderkind. Exhibit A is his participation in a Saudi public relations campaign to keep American Pat Roush's now-adult daughters in the world's largest women's prison […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune's Lionel Van Deerlin takes up the cause of the doves with his position that you're not allowed to advocate a war unless you've been in combat. Still, I have to wonder about the raucous calls we hear for storming ramparts in far-off places. Might such clamor come with greater credibility -- […]
The misogynistic Saudi regime continues to thumb its nose at the United States. Rep. Dan Burton is leading a Congressional delegation to Saudi Arabia seeking the release of American-born women being held hostage there. When Mr. Burton was talking with Miss Radwan at a Riyadh Starbucks, they had their meeting interrupted by a member of […]
Well I just finished wiping my C: drive clean and re-installing WindowsXP. I'd tried the upgrade and it had been mostly OK for several months, but it just got too unstable. So I'm starting with a clean slate. Unfortunately, as always, there are problems. It seems that my backup of my C: drive did not […]
NAACP chairman Julian Bond has an op-ed piece in Sunday's Washington Post in which he makes some pretty peculiar claims. As a longtime and now nonpartisan observer of African American politics... Nonpartisan? This is the same Julian Bond who said Bush "has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics." And... "...he has chosen […]
