Just finished reading the State of the Union address and Rep. Dick Gephardt's (D-Mo.) response. They were both well done and, for all appearances, set a less-partisan tone in Washington. Of course, Gephardt isn't in a position to be an obstructionist like Sen. Tom Daschle is. My only quibble with either speech was Gephardt's apparent […]

One thing I did get to see early this morning when I returned home from work was a little item on Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). Feinstein apparently visited the infamous Camp X-Ray and revealed how the facilities there were better than those at some California prisons, notably San Quentin. The senator said that if she […]

After working late Tuesday night and then having to be in at work Wednesday morning, well I haven't had time to check out the State of the Union address. Unless C-SPAN is showing it when I get home late tonight, I'll have to go with the written version. A critique of both Bush's address and […]

The Wall Street Journal's "Best of the Web Today" includes an item from The Desert Sun of Palm Springs, which happens to be the place where I had my first-ever interview for a newspaper job.

The Drudge Report is reporting that Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe, helped by Global Crossing CEO Gary Winnick, turned a $100,000 investment into $18 million. (Refrains of Hillary Clinton's foray into […]

The effort to link the Bush Administration continues, this time in a witty, but stupid column by the Washington Post's Richard Cohen entitled "Enronomics Explained." The principle that the government can and should run a deficit to stimulate a sick economy was first propounded by John Maynard Keynes. This is called Keynesian Economics. The principle […]

The Washington Post is running a great series on how the President responded to the terrorist attacks in the days following Sept. 11. It's an eight-part series and the third part is out today. It's on their front page, so head on over and take a look. The link is at the left.

The Chinese man who faced a possible death sentence for smuggling Bibles into China has been sentenced to two years in prison. He may end up being freed right before President Bush visits China next month. The man, Li Guangqiang, has already served 18 months. The truth is that he should never have been arrested […]
