Hindrocket over at Powerline has gotten a little bit of an education in how major (read: large) American newspapers work. The kerfuffle began when a Washington Post article posted online yesterday contained the following paragraph: Some of the Democrats who opposed Rice were centrists from states in which President Bush won or ran strongly in […]
First, there's this story from the New York Daily News on congressman and mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner. This is one of the main reasons I will likely never run for public office. Anthony Weiner got a public reminder yesterday that "Mother knows best." As the Democratic mayoral hopeful blasted Mayor Bloomberg's educational policies yesterday, he […]
I must admit I was amused a couple of years back when Promise Keepers was in the news all of the time. Liberal feminists who knew little or nothing about Christianity went on and on about how it was some sort of evil plot to subjugate women. It wasn't, and frankly I never heard a […]
I finished Michael Crichton's latest novel, "State of Fear," a couple of weeks ago. It's certainly not Crichton's best work, it's not going to win any awards, but it's an entertaining read with a message: global warming -- as it is presented by many in the scientific community -- is bunk.

The Outlook folder that contained all of my blog-related correspondence has been corrupted and Microsoft's fix-it tool doesn't. So, if you've e-mailed me in the past day or so, your message is gone -- feel free to resend it. Argh!
...that some quasi-religious nuts were collecting fingernail clippings because they believe that hangnails have souls and giving them a religious burial. Would this outrage you? Would you go running to the press complaining about the cult of the cuticle being insensitive to your feelings? You wouldn't. You'd just laugh it off. If those wackos want […]
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is donating $750 million for infant vaccinations.
An anonymous article on the U.N. officials and their "humanitarian" work in the wake of the south asian tsunami just shows how useless Jan Englund and his bunch are. What really irritated me was a scene I witnessed in the Lincoln’s wardroom a few days ago. I went in for breakfast as I usually do, […]
