Sen. John Kerry is, rightfully, getting a lot of flak for the complaint his campaign filed with the FEC over the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth TV ads. Kerry's campaign alleges that the Bush campaign is illegally colluding with the Swift Boat veterans, basing its claim on the laughable New York Times piece that appeared […]
As I read the Union-Tribune's abridged version of the New York Times John Kerry/Swift Boat Vets story, something occurred to me. As a story works its way through the process of actually appearing on the printed page -- from the reporter to the line editor(s) to the section editor(s) to the copy editor to the […]
Sen. John Kerry finally forced The New York Times' hand. America's alleged "newspaper of record" finally acknowledged the existence of a substantial number of John Kerry's fellow veterans who believe that he is unfit to serve as commander in chief. But the Times hasn't spent the last two weeks investigating the claims of these 200+ […]
Word is out that the senior senator *hiccup* from Massachusetts, Ted "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it" Kennedy was "erroneously" placed on the infamous no-fly list. Everyone insists that it was just another notorious bureaucratic screw-up, but it's a *hiccup* funny one.

The Claremont-McKenna college professor who vandalized her own car, spraypainting racist epithets all over it, has been convicted of filing a false police report and attempted insurance fraud. She faces more than three years in state prison. (Kerri Francis) Dunn, 39, left the courthouse without commenting. Her attorneys later issued a statement saying the professor […]
I haven't made much mention of the developments of the last week-plus when it comes to Sen. John Kerry's service half a world away more than three decades ago. I blame John Kerry for making his Vietnam service the centerpiece of his campaign for president, rather than his nearly two decades in the Senate and […]
Today's New York Times op-ed piece by Nicholas Kristof takes President Bush to task for not actively urging an extension of the decade-old assault weapons ban. The assault weapons ban, for the record, is a joke. It is a law that is all about aesthetics -- what the weapon looks like -- not what it […]
The left-wing Democrat surrogate MoveOn.org has come out with an advertisement attacking President Bush for his service in the National Guard. This is no surprise. What is a surprise is MoveOn.org's demand that Bush should somehow censor Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. "George Bush used his father to get into the National Guard, and -- […]
