Randy "Duke" Cunningham isn't the only congressman who stinks -- Rep. Charles Rangel stinks too. Rep. Charles Rangel has written to lobbyists who represent corporate interests before the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, where he is the ranking Democrat, asking for contributions from $1,000 to $10,000 "to underwrite" his 75th birthday party. Sen. Hillary […]
Once America's most prestigious paper, The New York Times continues to go down the tubes. Today's column by Frank Rich would be acceptable, if questionable, journalism had it been published on or before July 6, 2004. Today, it's just a big correction waiting to happen -- that is, if editorial page editor Gail Collins had […]
I saw this cartoon last week, but neglected to link to it, here's an excellent Day By Day cartoon by Chris Muir.
Time magazine once again proves that when the majority of the media describe themselves as "moderate," that's what the general public calls "liberal." Try this test for yourself before you check out how Time magazine chose to categorize our remaining Supreme Court justices.

Courtesy Target Centermass comes this bit from Ronald Reagan. The British people know that, given strong leadership, time and a little bit of hope, the forces of good ultimately rally and triumph over evil.

It never takes long for this libel to take flight: "The Jews knew about the London attacks before they happened." John Cole and Jeff Goldstein respond (see Update 16). Also peddling hatred and stupidity today were Al Franken and The Boston Globe's Tom Oliphant. My favorite bit: Franken: This is where I am going to […]
It appears from postings on various left-wing sites, including the "mainstream" Daily Kos, that terrorist attacks on Westerners bring out the worst in the haters. Powerline highlights one poster's comments here. Little Green Footballs has a couple of links here.
An al Qaeda-affiliated group has claimed responsibility for today's terrorist attacks in London. Pray for the victims and their families.
Nearly a month ago I noted a piece by National Review's media reporter Stephen Spruiell that gave the other side of the story to a sensationalistic column by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Susan Paynter. Paynter's column basically claimed that Marine recruiters had attempted to Shanghai a Seattle-area teen into the Corps -- a distortion of reality […]
New York Times reporter Judith Miller is in jail for refusing to reveal the name of one of her sources to a grand jury. This is as it should be. The grand jury has every right to demand the name from her; she has every right to refuse to give it. It's really too bad […]
