Sen. John Kerry, at a campaign event in Chicago yesterday, raised the level of the debate by refusing to discuss issues, instead calling Republicans "the most crooked, you know, lying group of people I've ever seen." This seems difficult to believe, seeing as how Kerry has served in the Senate with Ted Kennedy and Robert […]
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia gives a speech in Louisiana and two things about the report are notable. First, an illustration of what New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and his ilk have done to the judicial nomination process. He decried what he said he thinks is a politicizing of the judiciary. "Eighteen years ago I […]
I suppose this would be OK if they were required to vote Republican.
Last Friday, a federal judge in San Francisco (surprise!) rejected a Justice Department request for edited medical records as they attempt to defend the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that was passed by Congress last year. As I mentioned last month, the point of the records request is to prove that partial-birth abortion is never medically […]
Illustrating the amazing gains in productivity in the American economy through increased efficiency, New York Times "columnist" Paul Krugman's latest effort is a milestone. Time and time again, Krugman has simply recycled columns with the same sorry attacks on President Bush. Today Krugman's "column" consists of a graphic and three explanatory attack paragraphs. When I […]
The New York Times has an interesting article about small Patrick Henry College, which was founded eight years ago to serve mainly evangelical Christian home-schoolers. Patrick Henry's purpose is to turn students into political leaders -- much the same as many Ivy League schools. However, these political leaders would be Christians first, and politicians second, […]
As I mentioned before, I've been reading Rick Atkinson's "An Army at Dawn." One anecdote that Atkinson relates is how government censors edited letters home from the troops. Journalists and other liberal conspiracy theorists who regularly decry government limitations on media reporting from the battlefield during Operation Iraqi Freedom should look at just how far […]
More evidence (as if it was necessary) that Hollywood isn't that thrilled about Republicans. The Wall Street Journal ran an article (link for subscribers only) about the Academy Award-nominated Best Foreign Film "Osama," about a girl who poses as a boy to support her family under Taliban rule. A film about Osama arrived at the […]
You won't see it on March 15, but the original Dear Abby column sent over the wires for that date contained this letter: WIFE MEETS PERFECT MATCH AFTER HUSBAND STRIKES OUT DEAR ABBY: I am 34 and have three children. My husband, "Gene," and I have been married for 10 years. He is greedy, selfish, […]
I'd love to get a job where I can just recycle old blog posts over and over and over ad infinitum. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman (whose Nobel Prize in economics is never going to come if he's really this stupid) has trotted out another column -- a virtual carbon copy of one nearly […]
