It was reported yesterday that an Iraqi scientist turned over to U.S. forces plans and parts for a gas centrifuge -- used for enriching uranium to make an atomic bomb. What is known now by the CIA and other U.S. government officials ... is that the Iraqis, No. 1, were way ahead in developing this […]
Reading the New York Times editorial page is becoming indistinguishable from reading the pages of The Nation or Mother Jones or The American Prospect. Only in the land of the loony left does "freedom of expression" mean that citizens have the right to enjoy pornography in their public library. The Times complains that Internet filters […]
The Wall Street Journal's Claudia Rosett offers contrasting stories of heroism and cowardice in the face of evil. Wanna take bets on who's the coward? (Hint: The group has Cuba on its Human Rights Commission.)
The Associated Press is reporting a story with the headline: "Six British MPs Killed in Southern Iraq." The problem? The MPs they're referring to are military police. When you're talking about the Brits, MP usually means "Members of Parliament."
A constant refrain from the left, ever since he announced his candidacy for president of the United States, has been that George W. Bush is stupid. No, not just stupid, but stoopid.

I haven't written much this past week -- at least not much for you to read here. I don't write too much about my personal life here, because, as I've written before -- I don't like to bore my readers. So, if all you're interested in is Krugman-fisking and political thoughts and analyses, then you […]
In case you had any doubts about whether Saudi Arabia had changed its ways to coincide with the image promoted by their PR machine, don't worry, some things never change. If only Sarah Saga were trying to crash a men's-only golf club. Then she and those like her might be guaranteed some sustained media coverage. […]
There was a notable column posted last week over at TechCentralStation by James K. Glassman regarding the New York Times editorial page and its lack of gravitas. Like many, Glassman doesn't particularly care for wunderkind Paul Krugman: Look at the op-ed page of the Times itself. It deteriorated beyond recognition. Paul Krugman, once a respected […]
