The fact that President Bush nominated a man to replace a woman on the Supreme Court got Colorado's junior senator, Ken Salazar, panties in a twist. Dear President Bush: I do not know yet how I will vote on the confirmation of Judge John G. Roberts Jr. I will honor the processes of the Senate […]
You'll forgive me if I first believed that this article in today's Washington Post was a spoof written by a junior high school French student just a little to impressed with herself. It has been a long time since so much syrupy nostalgia has been in evidence at the White House. But Tuesday night, when […]
I returned to sunny San Diego yesterday afternoon after spending hours in the air. Luckily, I'm very intimidating and managed to subtly dissuade other passengers from sitting next to me, so I wasn't so cramped in those ever-smaller plane seats. I got up early this morning -- because my internal clock is way out of […]
The Center for American Progress' statement on John G. Roberts nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court is wary, but responsible -- unlike a lot of what you're hearing on the loony left. The good news is that it appears that many Democrat senators appear to be following this lead. We'll see if it will last.
I pointed out earlier that the left behaved like Pavlov's dog the second Bush named his pick -- no one Bush could've selected would be acceptable to the Kos Kids.

Rumor has it that Lockyer will be running for state treasurer next year -- and he'll probably get it because he's a Democrat. Sometimes we get the government […]
I poked my head into a bookstore/newsstand yesterday afternoon as I was walking around downtown Stonington, Conn., with my family, and picked up a copy of the Hartford Courant. What caught my eye was this story at the bottom of Page 1: "Bloggers Helping To Keep Rove Story Boiling." Unfortunately, you can read the entire […]
I've gotten the opportunity to watch some of southern New England's finest local news and it's merely reinforced my perception that just about all local news is garbage. Last night, for example, the local newsreader -- I'd be extremely hesitant to call her a "journalist" -- shared the fact that one of the London bombers […]
No spoilers here. I finished reading the book early this afternoon. It's not quite as bulky as "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," but it's still a substantial read for a book ostensibly targeted at pre-teens. The book didn't disappoint me at all and certainly leaves one anxious for the exciting conclusion to […]
