Former South African president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nelson "can't think properly" Mandela has done it again. Like a 5-year-old child who sticks his fingers in his ears and says: "Naaaaa Naaaaaa Naaaa, I'm not listening to you," Mandela doesn't want to hear what the United States wants to say. Speaking before Powell's speech […]
Back when the Bush administration refused to sign on to the farce, liberal commentators insisted the United States really had nothing to fear and that it was a sign of contempt for the international community not to join. Well, this just goes to show you that Bush was right. Criminy, we haven't even done anything […]
Bush's proposed budget increases funding for IRS audits. An increasing number of IRS audits would certainly target the wealthy, as the article makes clear. The administration identified five areas to which more resources would be devoted to stem tax cheating: abusive corporate tax shelters; unreported income among higher-income taxpayers; failure by employers to turn over […]
The Washington Post is reporting that the Saudi embassy helped the wife of a terror suspect to get out of the country after she was called to testify before a grand jury on possible links to al Qaeda. Jubeir, the Saudi spokesman, bristled at suggestions yesterday that the Saudis had failed to assist law enforcement […]
Not that they'll listen to me, but if they want to outfox Bush on tax cuts, this would be a good plan of attack.
I received some criticism for suggesting that former South African president Nelson Mandela's racemongering, anti-American statements may be attributed to drug use or possibly senility (he is 84). The truth is, while it may be a little over the top, my suggestions were probably the tamest explanations for Annan's remarks. Yesterday, National Review's Michael Ledeen […]
It's a simple statement, but it's something that many liberals think is at best unproductive and at worst unwise and counterproductive. While the truth may hurt Kim's feelings (cry me a river), it's important to speak the truth. It's important to the North Korean people who starve and suffer under a brutal regime. It's important […]
Yeah, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. Krugman got a lot of flak, from myself and others, when he claimed a Wall Street Journal editorial advocated raising taxes on the poor. To make a long story short, the Journal asked that Bush not remove more people from the tax rolls altogether (something […]
Well, it's not being portrayed as a Zionist plot -- yet -- but Iraqis see yesterday's destruction of the space shuttle Columbia as the act of a vengeful God. "We are happy that it broke up," government employee Abdul Jabbar al-Quraishi said. "God wants to show that his might is greater than the Americans. They […]
If you haven't heard yet, you've been hiding in a cave, but space shuttle Columbia broke up on re-entry early this morning. Pray for the astronauts and their families and the United States' space program. I'm going to go out on a line and do a little prediction -- you won't have to wait until […]
