The hardest substance on Earth

Diamonds, right? Wrong. The hardest substance on Earth is the skull of a New York Times editorial writer. Evidence? This. I'm only going to skewer the second paragraph, because after that, it's just meaningless. Virtually from the time he chose himself to be Mr. Bush's running mate in 2000, Because Bush can't make a decision […]

More Sunstein on surveillance

Radioblogger has a transcript of University of Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein on Hugh Hewitt's radio show. The entire thing is well worth reading if you didn't hear it on the radio. I've never before found myself continually nodding in agreement when I read what Sunstein said. I'd like to point out a couple of […]

Celebrity watch

The Kenny Chesney/Renee Zellweger marriage has been annulled. The story contains this definition of "annullment." An annulment is a judicial declaration that a marriage never legally existed.

Much too young

There's an old joke that at a certain age the first thing you do in the mornings was check the obituaries. If your name isn't there, carry on with the rest of your day. I'm 33. I don't check the obituaries. The odds are if someone my age dies, it's usually in a car accident […]

Big whoop

Tuesday's New York Times is reporting that in the wake of 9/11 attacks the government has finally come to its senses and is monitoring groups that publicly advocate violence and terrorism. Of course, that's not the way the Times characterizes it. Counterterrorism agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted numerous surveillance and intelligence-gathering […]

The Constitution is not a suicide pact

Unfortunately, that's something that a lot of Democrats and morons in the media don't seem to get. Byron York has an informative piece on the wiretaps that have caused all of this ruckus over the past few days. Remember the 9/11 commission and its "report card" on the government's anti-terror efforts earlier this month? York […]
