Hoystory would like to congratulate

Our favorite cousin named "Bonnie Stokes" on her graduation from the University of California San Diego with a bachelor's degree. Law school is up next for Ms. Stokes and I'm looking forward to having a lawyer in the family.

WMDs anyone?

U.N. inspectors are reporting that Saddam Hussien smuggled out a lot of banned weapons in months before the liberation of Iraq. The United Nations has determined that Saddam Hussein shipped weapons of mass destruction components as well as medium-range ballistic missiles before, during and after the U.S.-led war against Iraq in 2003. The UN Monitoring, […]

Lt. Smash goes to the anti-war protest

Smash went undercover up at last weekend's commie A.N.S.W.E.R. protest up in Los Angeles. His report is amusing and scary. Smash also spotted San Diego's own commie-redhead who threatened to fight a guy twice his size -- he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Fortunately for them, these wackos are ignored by the vast […]

Bush's eulogy

The transcript can be found here. Ronald Reagan belongs to the ages now, but we preferred it when he belonged to us. Well said.

Heard in the Newsroom II

Once more, the Union-Tribune moderate-conservative editorially, but definitely liberal in the newsroom. Tonight, when Reagan's name came up one copy editor said: "Reagan disgusted me and he disgusted the American people." The former I can't dispute, but the latter? A Fox News Poll (scroll way down) shows that 65 percent of Americans say they supported […]

Not surprised

New York Times talentless hack columnist Paul Krugman continues his crusade to minimize Reagan's legacy and trash his own economic credentials a column at a time. I'll let Don Luskin and others pick apart Krugman's economics, but one juxtaposition in Krugman's column demonstrated that Krugman is only interested in making partisan points. The architect of […]

Ray Charles, RIP

One of America's greatest musicians, Ray Charles, died today at 73. They played both his excellent version of "You Are My Sunshine," and, his rendition of (and perhaps the best version ever done of) "America the Beautiful," on the radio on my way into work today. The guy had talent by the truckloads. He will […]

Heard in the newsroom

Editorially, the San Diego Union-Tribune is moderate-to-right on the political spectrum. Those offices are on the fourth floor. On the third floor is the newsroom. The newsroom is largely left-to-very-left. So, I was only moderately surprised when I walked by and heard an editor opining on Ronald Reagan's legacy and state that the reporting ignored […]

Delusions of grandeur

No surprise here, but hate-filled, talentless, wacko Ted Rall thinks he's god. Mr. Rall defended the "crispy brown" comment and said it was made "to get people to understand that the right is attempting to canonize this guy, and it is ridiculous. If there is a hell, this guy is in it." Ted, don't be […]

Constitutional law

Well, it turns out that the L.A.County supervisors who have voted to acquiesce to the ACLU's demands to remove the tiny cross on the county seal aren't chicken -- they're uneducated. Let us review: The First Amendment to the Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise […]
