Michael Kinsley on what it takes to be human

I'm always curious to learn how people define being "human" in terms of the abortion debate. For me, it's pretty logical and pretty simple. I believe life starts at conception. At that point, you have a unique individual with a unique set of DNA. In today's Washington Post, columnist Michael Kinsley makes a disturbingly narrow […]

Wellstone "memorial," part two

I addressed the pep rally earlier this week, in today's Wall Street Journal Peggy Noonan does me about 25 million times better. Check it out.

Punishment for the sniper

Fox News was just running what the methods of execution are for the various states where the sniper suspects killed people. Maryland, where most of the victims were from, offers only lethal injection as an option. Virginia offers lethal injection or electrocution. Alabama offers only electrocution. Washington state offers lethal injection or hanging. I've got […]

Oops! Make sure you fax the correct press release

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 […]

A sad display

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 […]

More blogging later tonight

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.

Our voters are too stupid

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 […]

Local politics can be nasty too

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.
