I wish I could've been there tonight to see Rudy Giuliani's speech in person. It was a thing of beauty. What most of the media will focus on is the attacks on John Kerry's flip-floppity nature ("John Kerry's record of inconsistent positions on combatting terrorism gives us no confidence he'll pursue such a determined course."). […]
Two French journalists have been kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq. The French had believed that their opposition to the war in Iraq would act to inoculate their citizens against Islamic terrorism. They were wrong. Instead, the terrorists are demanding that France "reconsider" its law banning overtly religious symbols in schools -- specifically the muslim headscarve […]
Patterico points to some analysis made by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra Saunders -- one of the minority conservatives in the media -- on the voting tendencies of journalists. KURTZ: I mention MoveOn, because there are a lot of liberal groups, as you know, Debra Saunders, these 527s -- have there been a double standard […]

It should come as no surprise that the man who just a couple of weeks ago took umbrage at being called a quasi-socialst comes out today for the government taking over the healthcare industry. Paul Krugman's column today endorses the nationalization of a huge chunk of the American economy. Does this mean that the American […]
From today's New York Times: [A] front-page article on Aug. 4 about evidence that Islamic groups are training fighters in Pakistan and sending them into Afghanistan misstated the nature of a 1998 American air strike on a militant training camp in Afghanistan. It was carried out with cruise missiles fired from ships in the Arabian […]
So, what is former Democrat Sen. Max Cleland's paying gig nowadays? He spent yesterday in a bit of political theater attempting to deliver a letter to President Bush at his Texas ranch. Cleland is one of Kerry's lead surrogates and spends much of his time criss-crossing the nation on Kerry's behalf. So, one would guess […]
