Over at SoundPolitics.com, Stefan Sharkansky has some interesting photos on how voter intent is divined in Democrat-controlled King County, Washington. If you were still wondering why Republicans were concerned about a lack of consistent rules in determining voter intent during the 2000 Florida recount, then what King County is doing -- in a situation where […]
The losers at WATCH -- World Against Toys Causing Harm -- (boy was that acronym ever a stretch) have come out with their list of the 10 most dangerous toys of the holiday season. Follow a link for a complete list of dangerous toys, but I'd like to point out the one at the right. […]
I just caught former Clinton hatchet-man Paul Begala on CNN's "Situation Room" decrying the "personal attacks" that the Bush administration is making against Democrats (who are peddling the "Bush lied, people died" bolshevick storytelling) and their effort to rewrite history.

This year AARP spent $25 million, mostly on TV and print ads, to defeat President Bush's […]
It happens at newspapers large and small and Tuesday's Bakersfield Californian details its own case of journalistic malpractice. Before she was fired Oct. 17 for plagiarism and fabrication, former Bakersfield Californian reporter Nada Behziz signed her name to 96 stories. A Californian investigation shows more than a third contain a variety of serious problems including […]
A couple of links for those with a continuing interest in the truth. The White House came out today with a point-by-point refutation of the New York Times editorial I took a whack at earlier today. I'm quickly becoming convinced that there isn't a single honest liberal on the Times editorial board. Honest liberals do […]
A Vista jury found Adrian Camacho guilty yesterday of the premeditated murder of Tony Zeppetella. I'm relieved and happy that justice was done. The jury will now decide whether to sentence Camacho to death -- a fate he richly deserves. Pray for Zeppetella's widow, Jamie, as she will be testifying in the penalty phase of […]
I'd like to thank the people of Georgia for the gift that just keeps on giving.
