And ... let me see ... yes ... here it is ... it's hypocrisy. Democrat presidential hopeful John Kerry has been attacking the Bush administration for being beholden to special interests when *gasp* he has too! WASHINGTON - A Senate colleague was trying to close a loophole that allowed a major insurer to divert millions […]
The axiom is: Every Republican since Teddy Roosevelt has done everything in their power to turn the environment into some post-apocalyptic wasteland. Everything every Democrat does is sure to improve the enviornment, making it more like a modern-day Eden every day. That being said, The New Republic's Gregg Easterbrook points out that scientists have actually […]
The gutless GOP senators have fired an aide who was accused of leaking damning Democrat judiciary memos to the press. With the collusion of many in the press (read The New York Times) the Democrats have deflected outrage from their own pandering to liberal special interest groups to the fact that some GOP staffer was […]
I got home tonight and found that I had been the honored recipient of a grand total of 161 copies of the MyDoom virus. The McAfee antivirus program, instead of just notifying me: "You've received 161 e-mails infected with the MyDoom virus," had me click a total of 322 times to acknowledge the fact. This […]

I've got a public e-mail address over there on the left, so I expect to get more than my fair share of viruses and the like that make their way over the Internet and into my home. After years of using Norton Antivirus satisfactorily, I switched to McAfee. Why? Because it was time to renew […]
Readers of Hoystory are intelligent, learned and possess an impressive vocabulary. It is unnecessary, and reflects badly on your host, to use crude, unimaginative vulgarities here. These words are more at home on MTV (or most liberal blogs) than in the comments section of this fine blog.
It should be no surprise that soldiers in Iraq are less than impressed by the police blotter coverage of what's happening in Iraq. ABC News has a good article on the subject. What surprised me most was how little news many of the soldiers get -- and they get it late. Another thing of note […]
I must confess that I'm not that good at accepting compliments. They make me feel uncomfortable and I try to dismiss them. But, I'm a whole lot better than Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight. One eyewitness told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that Knight raised his voice to (Texas Tech Chancellor David) Smith after the chancellor approached […]
