If I stub my toe, is President Bush to blame? If you're a columnist for The New York Times, then the answer is yes. Anything that is wrong in the world must be the fault of that bumbling, stupid, deviously evil Republican president. Bob Herbert learns that many American high school students aren't appreciative of […]
You'd think that the National Organization for Women would be defending Marine Lt. Gen. James Mattis after he said something very un-PC. "Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot," Mattis said, prompting laughter from some military members in the audience. "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll […]
Friday's New York Times letters to the editor: 13 total letters. 7 anti-Bush. 1 neutral. 2 pro-Bush (yesterday's prediction was 100 percent accurate) 3 non-political letters.

In short, CNN's top executive, Eason Jordan, in a forum discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, accused American troops of targeting journalists for assassination. This is the same Eason […]
You can find the transcript here. Video of it is available here. I've got the video running in another window right now, and for the most part I think the speech is pretty good. President Bush spent a lot of time on Social Security reform. This speech was probably the best time to really get […]
Some White House correspondents are apparently in a tizzy over the presence of Jeff Gannon of Talon News in the briefing room. Talon News is a conservative Web site, and Gannon's questions are biased -- the same as every other reporter's questions except in direction. White House reporters say Gannon has regularly attended daily press […]
Unfortunately, I didn't set my DVR to record the president's State of the Union address. I did, however, get home in time to watch the replay of the Democrats' response. *YAWN* I'm not usually one to criticize other peoples' appearance, but Rep. Nancy Pelosi scares the bejeezus out of me. Has she had a botox […]
