My list of Cuban dissidents was cited in today's Impromptus over at National Review Online. You'll have to scroll down in the story. Unfortunately, he linked directly to the html table on my site and not to the entry here at Hoystory. So I've got no idea how many people are viewing it. But at […]
Zachary Barbera over at Voice from the Commonwealth, has a suggestion that we offer Cuban dictator Fidel Castro a straight-up trade, 1 for 1, of Hollywood leftists in return for the freedom of the journalists and human rights activists listed below. Now, while I'm sure that there are plenty of Castro-loving Hollywood liberals that qualify, […]
I was going to write on Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen's Tuesday column last night, but making the chart you see below was more time-consuming than I had anticipated. Anyway, Cohen's little diatribe against media mogul Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel and New York Post is a waste of perfectly good newsprint (and Internet bandwidth). […]
While the world's attention was focused on the war in Iraq, Cuban "president" Fidel Castro took the opportunity to imprison many advocates of democracy on the spurious charge that they were American agents.

Did you know that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman thinks President Bush's economic plan is bunk? Oh, and did I mention that Krugman thinks Bush's economic plan is a disaster? Oh, don't forget that the plan is bad. Krugman is obviously under instructions from the anti-Bush left to push that theme. Practically every column […]
And I missed it. Unfortunately, the local ABC affiliate here in San Diego has this thing about moving the time "This Week" appears just to tick me off. I've got the VCR set to catch it at its "normal" time -- 10 a.m., but this week, instead, I got some NASA show. Anyway, Donald Luskin, […]
During last year's election season, California Gov. Gray Davis, in his drive for campaign cash made a deal with the devil, in the form of the state's prison guards union. The union contributed $3.4 million dollars to Davis' re-election campaign, and as the Union-Tribune editorial page reported on Friday, they got their money's worth. It's […]
The Feckless French and the Recalcitrant Russians, who for years have supported the lifting of the U.N. embargo on Iraq, have seen the light now that the United States is in Baghdad. With the United States determined to eradicate all chem/bio/nuke weapons in Iraq, the French and Russians now demand proof before they forswear use […]
