Visa revoked

An Islamic scholar who had been hired by Notre Dame to teach religion (yeah, I know it doesn't make much sense -- Catholic University and all) has had his visa revoked. "Generally speaking, criteria for revocation include public safety risk, or national security threat," DHS spokesman Dean Boyd said. However, what really caught my eye […]

Paul Krugman's vitriol

Don Luskin slams New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for his tireless work in making one of his own predictions come true. Krugman's Tuesday column was one big whine about this election being the nastiest on record. Left out is that Krugman has done his best over the past four years to drag political speech […]

To Err is the New York Times

McQ over at QandO has tracked down a statement in last week's New York Times hit piece on the Swift Boat Veterans and discovered something worthy of a correction. But in that article there was this paragraph: A damage report to Mr. Thurlow's boat shows that it received three bullet holes, suggesting enemy fire, and […]

Physician, heal thyself

The New York Times TV Watch column by Alessandra Stanley is unintentionally hilarious. [T]here is the fog of war and then there is the fog of cable. Over the last few weeks, 24-hour news networks have done little to find out what John Kerry did in Vietnam, but they have provided a different kind of […]

More speech, not less

The charges flying back and forth for the past few days in this year's presidential campaign is the calls by Sen. John Kerry, and now Sen. John Edwards, that President Bush order the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's advertisements off the air. Kerry and his surrogates have claimed, without any real evidence, that Bush is […]

Olympic Mens Basketball II

A Wall Street Journal editorial today gives the USA mens basketball a well-deserved spanking over their poor play. The shooting and passing skills that once made the game a pleasure to watch have given way to inside wrestling and one-on-one showboating. A modern NBA game often resembles water polo without the artistry. These weaknesses get […]

John Kerry's Silver Star

After reading William Rood's account of the Feb. 28, 1969, on the Dong Cung River in Vietnam, I'm satisfied that John Kerry's Silver Star citation is deserved. We agreed that if we were not crippled by the initial volley and had a clear fix on the location of the ambush, we would turn directly into […]
