The New York Times has printed five letters on last week's Nichloas Kristof column castigating the Catholic Church for its condom prohibition -- a prohibition that I, for the record, don't personally support. Since my letter wasn't selected by the Times, you can read it here, exclusively. I must confess that I'm always somewhat puzzled […]
There isn't a canopy below.
At least, that's what I'm sure my left-wing high school AP History teacher and former national teacher of the year Myrra Lee would give him for this application of the Constitutional system of checks and balances. During Tuesday's news conference, Reid also challenged Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., to schedule a vote on the […]
If this is what we can expect from The Huffington Post, Arianna's new venture will be of little use besides pointing out how many in Hollywood are completely nuts. At 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Election Day, I checked the sportsbook odds in Las Vegas and via the offshore bookmakers to see the odds as […]
The San Diego City Council and the municipal employees union have reached a tentative pact. You can read the Union-Tribune's story here. For those of you who are interested in all of the details, here's the e-mail sent by the union's negotiating team.

I was just watching a Bill Schneider report on possible Supreme Court vacancies on CNN's "Inside Politics." Some unidentified (at least, I didn't catch his name) pundit identified Justice John Paul Stevens as a "moderate." If he's a moderate, then there are no liberals on the court. At least conservatives will acknowledge that there are […]

Then, when Bush came into office, Judicial Watch began pressing the White House to release documents from Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force. In the eyes -- and the news […]
I haven't commented on this column by The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof because I've submitted a letter to the editor regarding it. The Times won't publish the letter if it's appeared anywhere else -- including the Web -- so I'm going to give them a few days to make a decision on publishing it. […]
Via National Review's "The Corner" comes this statement from Sen. Arlen Specter on the Democrats' filibuster and offers of various "deals": In the exchange of offers and counter offers between Sen. Frist, the Majority Leader and Sen. Harry Reid, the Democrat Leader, Democrats have made an offer to avoid a vote on the nuclear/constitutional option […]
If there was any doubt before, it can be set to rest now, The New York Times' columnist Paul Krugman is a socialist. Krugman -- still lacking a Social Security plan of his own -- assails the president for suggesting what amounts to means-testing of the proverbial "safety net." Krugman charges the president for being […]
