The New York Times op-ed page editor has written that pieces they consider for the page represent a variety of views. Well, today's paper reveals that to be the farce that it is. In addition to a couple of whiny columns by Paul Krugman and Bob Herbert, we have two other pieces. One entitled "Why […]
You can count the number of conservatives in a newsroom of several hundred people on your fingers -- with no need to borrow those of a friend. Last night I was asking an editor about the length of a story she was editing and she was really excited to show me something that one of […]
Finally was able to post something I wrote yesterday afternoon. Blogger had been unresponsive since about 1 p.m. yesterday. It appears to be working now -- though still a little balky.
During the campaign, Sen. John Kerry invoked former President Ronald Reagan's foreign policy as a model that he would attempt to emulate as commander-in-chief. This was a laughable assertion because Kerry spent much of his Senate career opposing the Reagan defense build-up and Reagan's support of anti-communist rebels in Latin America. Over at The Wall […]
Barring any unexpected, last-minute developments, the GOP will have a 55-44-1 majority in Congress' upper chamber. After President Bush and Vice President Cheney helped Pennsylvania's senior Senator Arlen Specter fend off a strong primary challenge from conservative Pat Toomey, Specter has decided to bite the hand that feeds him. Specter, as presumptive chairman of the […]
John Hinderaker, who blogged for NBC on election night, recounts an encounter with an assistant producer: Early in the day, a very young woman who was working as an assistant producer leaned over to me and whispered, "Are you the conservative?" I said Yes. "Don't tell anyone," she whispered, "but I'm on your side." I […]
Some wag is selling off Michael Moore's relevance in the wake of President Bush's victory on Tuesday. One of the nice things about eBay is that questions to the seller can be posted along with their responses regarding the product. Q: Do we get the entire Michael Moore? And if so, how much will shipping […]
I'm not talking about the term starting Jan. 20, 2005, for George W. Bush. The barking moonbats over at Daily Kos, completely nuts with the defeat of John Kerry, have suggested a "tactic" to continue their attacks on Bush's legitimacy. Second, gut any Bush hopes for legitimacy. Find the places in Florida and Ohio and […]
The night started out really well for the TV networks. Unlike in previous years (read 2000), when one network called a state, the others were in no rush to follow. For example, CNN called California for Kerry almost immediately after the polls closed, but took its time to give Kerry Washington State. Fox, on the […]
The networks are loath to call enough states for President Bush to be declared the victor, but I will. Bush wins Nevada, Ohio and New Mexico (and very likely Iowa). Those of you who are still up at this ridiculous hour can now go to bed.
