It turns out that the "uranium" seized by Turkish authorities consisted of "zinc, iron, zirconium and manganese." If you'll recall, in "Back to the Future," Doc Emmit Brown got the plutonium needed to fuel his time machine by agreeing to construct a nuclear bomb for some terrorists. Instead, he gave the terrorists a "bomb" made […]
The LordMage reports on his "Adventures with Airport Security." It's funny -- because it happened to him. If it happened to me, I suspect I'd be exasperated or ticked off too. He also has some career options for Secretary of Transportation Norm Mineta.
Sen. Fritz Hollings ($-Disney) and his proposed law, the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act, would require devices that can record or playback digital media to carry government-mandated copy-protection technology to thwart piracy. Princeton University's Edward Felton is compiling "Fritz's Hit List" -- a series of devices that would be affected by the new […]
The Wall Street Journal's William McGurn offers the latest update in the Saudis holding American citizens against their will.
Earlier today Instapundit pointed out a critique of America-hating, Taliban-loving Ted Rall and his cartoons in the wake of the terrorist attack on the United States.

A hint to all newspaper editorial pages: If Eric Alterman thinks that you're doing a great job, then you've gone way too far to the left. This should be a wake-up call for the New York Times, but is likely to fall on deaf ears. In a Sunday editorial, the Times came out against Bush […]
Al Gore's ritualistic political suicide with his speech last week to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco continues to draw fire. Former Secretary of Education, Bill Bennett wrote an excellent article on Gore's speech over at OpinionJournal.com. As a U.S. senator, Mr. Gore backed the resolution to go to war with Iraq in 1991, and […]
A piece on OpinionJournal.com's "Taste" page points out that the Christians can't possibly be victims. Paul Marshal points out what the wire services and mainstream media won't -- that Islamic terrorists are targeting Christians specifically. After the massacres at a Pakistani Christian school and hospital in August, Reuters headlined its story "Pakistan attack seen aimed […]
Most everyone agrees that Al Gore's speech was a joke, full of half-truths, distortions and outright lies. The Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer takes a stab at the Gorebot in a column today. The tone of the speech is best reflected in Gore's contemptuous dismissal of the U.S. victory in Afghanistan as "defeating a fifth-rate military […]
