The French have arrested nine terror suspects who were allegedly planning to blow up the Paris subway. Terror suspects detained in France had been eyeing up the Parisian metro network, an airport and the headquarters of the domestic intelligence service as possible targets, sources close to the investigation said.

I've gotten some flak for referring to last weekend's protests in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere around the country as being populated by the loony left.

If I'd have known that I might be able to get in to see "Serenity" Monday evening -- four days before it's released -- because I have so much influence and will cause all of you readers to go and see the film. I've been anxiously waiting for "Serenity" to make it into theaters ever […]
It appears as though the gray areas in talking about race have gotten so expansive that there isn't much you can say without getting branded a racist. The Union-Tribune's Ruben Navarrette wrote a column earlier this week taking John Roberts to task for using the term "amigos" in an internal White House memo during the […]
The Marxist, anti-Semitic, anti-American left is going to march on Balboa Park here in San Diego on Saturday. Go to Smash's place for details on the counterprotest.
