I recently finished David Frum and Richard Perle's "An End to Evil," and I agree with about 99 percent of what they write. The book is an excellent roadmap to dealing with the post-9/11 world, both at home and abroad. My one area of disagreement with the authors is their attitude toward China. Frum and […]
I was one of the thousands upon thousands of people who registered to get back a pittance from the music companies for sticking it to consumers with artificially high CD prices. My take: $13.86.
I mentioned the case of George Meagher and his recycled quote on Sunday. Well, the New York Times has corrected their mistake -- and Meagher's an independent. I'm still waiting for formal word from public editor Daniel Okrent on what the Times policy is on recycling man-on-the-street quotes.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright spoke to the Union-Tribune editorial board earlier this month, and a Q&A summary of the interview is available here. There should be no surprise, but the interview contains some whoppers. My favorite (and by that I mean alarming) has to do with North Korea. Is North Korea a threat? […]
Not that he would have voted for him anyway, but San Diego Union-Tribune Insight editor Robert Caldwell outlines the case against John Kerry, from the perspective of a Vietnam veteran.
A couple of interesting things are making news. First, there was this report in Sunday's Washington Post about "efforts" to deal with Osama bin Laden during Clinton's term in office. In fashioning this sensitive policy in the midst of an impeachment crisis that lasted into early 1999, Clinton's national security adviser, Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, […]
Democrat Presidential hopeful John Kerry isn't the only prominent public figure decrying their detractors efforts to make an issue of their record after completing military service. (Hoystory.com) -- Psychic medium John Edward, of the Sci-Fi channel's "Crossing Over," has reported that two prominent Americans are following Democrat Sen. John Kerry's lead in attacking their political […]
One of the latest Democrat Party complaints is that President Bush is in league with "Big Business" to secretly smuggle manufacturing jobs out of the United States. The basis of this charge is comments earlier this month by Gregory Mankiw that outsourcing certain jobs overseas is good for the economy in the long run. This […]
Instapundit picked up this item on The New York Times apparently recycling a quote and changing the party affiliation of the individual quoted to better fit the premise of the story. This incident has resulted in my first e-mail to Times public editor Daniel Okrent, politely asking for an explanation. I'll report what I learn. […]
An evil Muslim moron climbed on the No. 14 bus in Israel and blew himself up, killing at least seven and injuring more than 50. The following statement from Palestinian "negotiator" Saeb Erekat would be funny if it weren't so sad. Sunday's attack brought an immediate condemnation from chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat. "We condemn […]
