That's what Yasser Arafat's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade discovered earlier this week. Apparently some intern in the Brigades' office was working hard, trying to make a good impression on his bosses. He thought, "I'll just try and get ahead on all these press releases I have to write taking credit for our suicide bombings." Then, when […]
Well, the Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone Memorial/Pep Rally was the talk of today's news shows. I didn't watch the entire four hour "service" -- mainly because it wasn't readily accessible on TV. I'm not sure if it aired on CSPAN, but I don't have four hours to spend watching a "memorial." Seriously, has anyone ever […]
I've spent much of the day condo-hunting, because houses are much too expensive for anyone who works at a newspaper. Got my eye on a couple, but my first choice is a fixer-upper. In the meantime, the Indepundit (a fellow San Diegan) has come out with his first non-endorsement endorsement for the Nov. 5 election.
That's the line from the Minnesota Democratic Party in its latest lawsuit. Democrats are preparing to raise Florida-style objections to the conduct of the election. For example, Democrats claim the ballot is confusing because it asks voters to write an "X" by the name of the candidate for whom they want to vote. The regular […]
As evidenced by this race for the San Diego City Council. I don't live in this district, so I won't be voting in this race, but this is certianly a case of dirty politics -- and the innuendo in the mailer is just disgusting.
U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley was gunned down yesterday as he walked to his car outside his home in Amman, Jordan. Authorities have said that they are looking for a lone white male driving a white van with a ladder on top.
I've been disillusioned by the gubernatorial race here in California. I don't like Gray Davis' pay-to-play fundraising style. The way he mishandled the energy crisis. His collusion with the Democrat-controlled legislature to paper over a $23 billion budget deficit. But Republican candidate Bill Simon hasn't done himself any favors either. His accusation (later proven false) […]
Today's New York Times editorial page speaks out on the Russian hostage situation that was resolved over the weekend by the Russian troops using an unknown gas. Now, it turns out that this gas killed approximately 100 of the hostages and Russian officials refused to tell doctors what was in the gas or give them […]
This weekend there were dozens of anti-war protests across the nation, including one here in San Diego. The sad thing is that the quotes and slogans are not only dated -- but they're stupid. "Our biggest weapon of mass destruction is George W. Bush." -- Rio Mezta, Ocean Beach Grassroots Organization Ummm...I like this new […]
From the BBC: The Algerian news agency says suspected Islamic extremists have killed 21 people from the same family, including a three-month-old baby. The attack took place in the north-western province of Chlef. Five other people were reported to be in a serious condition with bullet wounds to the head. A three-month-old baby? Sick bastards!
