Today's Washington Post has an article showing that "memorial" Web sites of jihadis in Iraq list a majority of Saudis -- many of them college students or from wealthy families. This tells us a couple of things. First, the complaints by much of the American and European left that the hatred of America is due […]
To counter Paul Krugman's dishonesty, the New York Times gives us John Tierney.
We here at Hoystory wish a happy birthday to the world's greatest niece! We here at Hoystory realize that moving can be a pain. However, it has been several weeks since we have received photographs or videos. There is a rumor that Maddie has begun to master bipedal motion, but video evidence is needed to […]
GOP Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio suggested that had nominee John Bolton had a short fuse that would have got him fired in the private sector. This analysis of what is a fireable offense in the private sector comes from a man who hasn't held a private sector job since 1967.

In the continuing debate over whether or not John Kerry honestly won Wisconsin by some 11,000 votes George W. Bush won Ohio by more than 100,000 votes, Rep. John Conyers attempts to invoke the wisdom of Monty Python and gets it wrong. The exit poll discrepancies are to the evidence that massive disenfranchisement occurred in […]
Earlier this week The New York Times released their "credibility" report. Let me start by saying that if the Times does everything that is suggested in the report, they will end up with a better newspaper at the end of the day. Two things struck me about the report.

Byron York has apparently silenced the new leader of the tin-foil hat brigade, sportscaster Jim Lampley with this fact-filled repudation of the Ohio conspiracy theory.
