First, the Heritage Foundation's Joseph Loconte rightly assails the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The entire U.N. is a joke -- a place where murderous, despotic regimes hold equal power with representative democracies -- but the UNCHR is even worse. Second, The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan addresses yesterday's brutal horror in the Iraqi […]
The MoveOn PAC has an anti-Bush ad on the air that highlights a quote by disgruntled former employee Richard Clarke in his "60 Minutes" episode. CLARKE: He (Bush) ignored terrorism for months when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Contrast that quote with Clarke's testimony to the 9/11 committee. FORMER SEN. SLADE […]
T3 lines enable very fast data transmission. T1 lines are slower, but still really fast. Cable modems are slower still, but plenty fast. Then there's PEI. Then there's the least broad of broadband technology, DSL. What's PEI you ask? Pigeon Enabled Internet.
Hopefully this will mark the end of this bit of silliness that Christians should be banned from mainstream journalism and independent groups should be discouraged from urging Christians from going into journalism.

Democrat presidential nominee John Kerry was in San Diego yesterday railing against high gas prices. Taking a page from his former opponent Howard Dean, Kerry has taken to referring to the higher gas prices as the "Bush Gas Tax Hike." The "logic" of this phraseology seems to be that if the price of some item […]
I just finished reading Dan Brown's "Deception Point" last night. Brown is most famous for his book "The DaVinci Code," which spawned some controversy by suggesting that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene had a child together. The claim is laughable -- Elaine Pagels says so. (And you know if Pagels thinks it's nuts, then it […]
San Diego Union-Tribune cartoonist Steve Breen on the abortion issue.
I'm not talking about the ESPN show of the same name. Nope, I'm talking about my dream job -- getting paid for doing this. Writing about what I want. Maybe publishing two columns a week for a major newspaper. I hope that this is training for that eventual day. That being said, when your job […]
Sen. Tom Daschle, irked that President Bush would use the recess appointment power that is only to be used by Democrat presidents, has ordered a halt to approval of all federal judicial nominees.
