I've always been of the opinion that more political speech is always better than less, so I'm not at all opposed to the infamous 527s. So, here are a couple of 527 ads that you should check out. The first is by the Club for Growth and director David Zucker of "Airplane!" fame. Even if […]
When I saw Ron Suskind's New York Times Magazine piece "Without a Doubt" come over the wires last week, two thoughts came to mind. First, it makes Public Editor Daniel Okrent's piece the previous week claiming that the Times plays it pretty straight when it comes to covering the presidential campaign look pretty laughable. The […]
I'm beginning to get really annoyed at the continual claims by Sen. John Kerry's surrogates that beating the American people over the head with someone else's sexuality is "fair game" or, as Kerry adviser Bob Shrum said on "Meet the Press" today, "trying to say something say something positive." Kerry's ham-handed effort to scare President […]
I know this will come as a surprise to exactly none of you, but today's New York Times editorial page comes out in support of Sen. John Kerry for president. As should be expected, the editorial isn't really an endorsement of Kerry, but instead is a long list of grievances against President Bush. The editorial […]
Instapundit Glenn Reynolds highlighted this interview of SpaceShipOne designer -- and Cal Poly alum -- Bruce Rutan. Rutan not only has a talent for aircraft design, but also experience in knowing what works: Over the decades, Rutan said, despite the promise of the Space Shuttle to lower costs of getting to space, a kid�s hope […]
You can find Michael Moore's latest "crockumentary" here. In it, Moore exposes that the lies told by Gandalf the Grey and Aragorn as they try to confuse the people of Middle Earth. Moore points out that it was Saruman who attacked Helms Deep, not Sauron, and that peaceful Mordor has only been targeted because it […]
Let's set out a couple of facts about Republicans and the military. Unlike some on the left, Republicans have an extremely high degree of respect for those who've chosen to serve their country. The morale of those in the military is important to Republicans. For these two reasons, Republicans would be the very last ones […]
I support the death penalty not because it necessarily has a deterrent effect, but because it says something about how much we as a society value innocent life. For that reason, I don't believe that a free pass should be given to juveniles who commit violent murders. While I'm concerned that the Supreme Court may, […]
Let's pray that this trend continues in Iran. During a speech to high school students in Tehran six months ago, Shiite cleric Hasan Mohammadi from the Ministry of Education declared, “Unfortunately, on average every day, 50 Iranian girls and boys convert secretly to Christian denominations in our country.” After the speech, which was reported by […]
I managed to pick up John J. Miller's book "Our Oldest Enemy" -- on the U.S. relationship with the perfidious French -- Thursday afternoon at the Union-Tribune's periodic get-rid-of-review-books-for-charity-sale. Conservative books usually last quite awhile, but I was still a little surprised it lasted until late afternoon. On a related note: Some stinkin' Frenchman apparently […]
