Not when the I-15 is a parking lot at 11 at night because they need to extend a bridge. For the rest of the week I'll try to use the 5. It's probably 25 miles extra, but I'm sure I'll get home quicker.

As you go about your business today -- whether you're going to a baseball game, a BBQ or you've got to work -- pause for a moment and remember soldiers like Michael C. Carlson who gave the last full measure of devotion that we may enjoy the freedoms that we have. For those of you […]
To the American and European left nowadays, the thing they fear the most isn't "fear," nor is is nuclear war, famine or global warming. Islamic extremism that has killed more than 3,000 Americans over the past three decades along with thousands more in places like Afghanistan, Iran, Spain, Indonesia and the Phillippines. Nope, the thing […]
I got to watch the vast majority of the NCAA lacrosse semifinal games on Saturday -- I used my digital video recorder. Unfortunately, thunderstorms and lightning in Philadelphia meant that my recording (even adding an extra half-hour) didn't catch most of the final period and overtime of the Johns Hopkins/Virginia game -- and that was […]
Guess which Senate party leader those words more aptly describes -- Republican Bill Frist, or Democrat Harry Reid? If you guessed Reid, you're right! The signatures of 14 Senate centrists, seven from each party, spilled across the last page of a hard-won compromise on President Bush's judicial nominees. But whatever elation the negotiators felt, the […]
Shortly after last year's election loss, Democrats began taking solace in a bogus study that purported to show that states that voted for John Kerry had substantially higher average IQs than states that voted for George W. Bush. Yesterday, results came out on a different type of test -- a driving test -- and it […]

Several Democrats, including Harry Reid, John Kerry, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd were quick to claim that […]
Today's Washington Post front page Koran story with the provocative headline: Pentagon Confirms Koran Incidents 'Mishandling' Cases Preceded Guidelines Established in 2003 Oh! Confirmation of Koran de toilette? No, not exactly. He said most of the 13 cases involved accidental or inadvertent touching of the Koran by guards and interrogators -- such as someone bumping […]
Today's question open for discussion: Should a newspaper correct an obvious, yet trivial error in a letter to the editor? Or just let it slide? The La Mesa Police Department should get a decimal meter before we all become hearing impaired! I'll help pay for one. Decimal meter? That's a gadget that shows you where […]
I first used PGP -- Pretty Good Privacy -- back in the '90s when I was living in Washington State. I was getting a hand with my taxes from Hoystory the Elder (who had worked as a tax preparer in a previous life) and didn't feel at all comfortable e-mailing many of the things that […]
