Pat Bender of Rancho Bernardo, Calif., wins todays prize with this howler in the San Diego Union-Tribune. I refuse to be silenced when I oppose the war in Iraq or criticize our president. It looks to me as though the latter is bent on his policy to allow free speech to Iraqi citizens while labeling […]
When I first canceled my landline telephone service a couple of years ago it was prompted by a couple of reasons: First, long-distance telephone calls, including to my parents (those were actually local-toll calls) were free with my cell phone; Second, I never really spent a lot of time talking on the phone. The only […]
I heard Rush LImbaugh mentioning this subject as I drove into work, and then read the National Review Online article he was apparently referring to. Basically the idea to get the recalcitrant Democrats to stop their unprecedented filibuster of Bush judicial nominees is to use the recess appointment power -- but not in the way […]

Blogger Bryon Scott over at Slings and Arrows analyzes former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter's defense of fellow Iraqi-bought public figure George Galloway. No one takes Ritter seriously anymore, and for good reason, as Scott points out.
Donald Luskin has the latest on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's math difficulties over at NRO.
Try K-R-U-G-M-A-N. Today, if you hadn't heard it before, Krugman reveals that he's none too fond of the Bush tax cuts -- past or present. This time, Krugman uses Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt's recently-announced health care plan to present his argument. [C]ongressman Richard Gephardt's new proposal — to scrap the 2001 tax cut and […]
In an effort to repair their image with their largely conservative country fan base, the Dixie Chicks (Full disclosure: I do own all of their albums -- bought before lead singer Natalie Maines started talking -- as opposed to singing) are going on ABC's "Primetime Live" tonight. From the excerpts played on Sean Hannity's radio […]
