So, to set this up. Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) is bloviating, and he uses as an example of the unfairness of the GOP to former President Clinton's judicial nominee Elena Kagan (sp?). According to Reed, Kagan was nominated for a federal judgeship, but never got a hearing. She is now dean of the Harvard Law […]
I was going to begin watching the debate on judges on CSPAN-2, but Sen. Barbara Boxer was speaking. I'm sorry, but I can't afford her -- after about a minute of watching her spout off, I'd smash the TV with a baseball bat. I'll tune in later.
Tonight's the all-night talkathon in the Senate about the Democrats' illegal filibusters of Bush judicial nominees. I'll likely watch some of it when I get home from work, but the exercise is really meaningless. The show may get a little additional press coverage of the Democrats' illegal tactics, but it is not a serious effort […]
Today marks two years since I started this blog. I had wanted to create a Web site for some time, but the prospect of spending more time on HTML coding than real writing prevented that. I eventually came across Blogger one day and the rest, as they say, is history. When this first began, about […]
The Democrats' primary accusation against Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor's nomination to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has been that he would be unable to fairly apply the law because of his "deeply held (religious) beliefs."

Yes, with the economy continuing to soar, Democrats are resorting to ever-more desperate tactics to actually put a damper on the recovery and get those unemployment numbers up.
Mark Steyn's latest column once again presents us with the question of why we should ever care what the impotent Europeans have to say. The EU has done a grand job of trumpeting its weakness as strength, but the fact remains that there's something hollow at the heart of European identity. You can't be a […]
I wanted to point these out, but it slipped my mind earlier. Check out this column by Holman Jenkins on "Krugmanomics," and this one by Brian Anderson on the Democrats' illegal use of the filibuster.
I hate to say it, but it's clear that The New York Times isn't the paper it used to be. The Jayson Blair fraud and Augusta Country Club Crusade aside, the paper's Op-Ed writers also have some series credibility problems. If the Bush administration, and Republicans everywhere, were as bad as people like Maureen Dowd […]
I've got CNN's "Capitol Gang" on right now and Wall Street Journal columnist Al Hunt is running down some of the "lies" that we've allegedly been told about Iraq. Dick Cheney said, on the eve of war, said that Iraq has reconstituted nuclear weapons. That is untrue. Well, kinda. Al, why don't you go and […]
