Yeah, I know it's an oxymoron, but check out this article in today's Wall Street Journal on religious schools' difficulties at getting the University of California system's blessing on their courses. At issue -- among many things -- is the textbooks used in these courses. The physics textbook is like any other--with pure science in […]
It's unlikely that it will happen, but my #1 choice for the next Supreme Court nominee is: Michael McConnell. My #2 pick: Janice Rogers Brown. Of course, I've now jinxed both of them. Sorry.
I've just gotten finished watching brief clips on the news from various liberals/Democrats commenting on the withdrawl of Harriet Miers for consideration for the Supreme Court. Ralph Neas, Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer all went before cameras to bemoan Miers' fate at the hands of the "extreme right wing." They demonstrated their political […]
The strategy/excuse suggested last week by Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer appears to have been successful. President Bush, at Harriet Miers request, has withdrawn her nomination to the Supreme Court -- supposedly due to the fact that the White House will (rightly) refuse to release documents she's worked on while she was White House counsel.

Iran is probably the world's next big trouble spot, especially if the Europeans and the useless International Atomic Energy Agency fail to halt that nation's pursuit of nuclear weapons "power."

You should read this piece from John Hinderaker over at Powerline before you get too worried (if you're a conservative) or giddy (if you're a liberal) about what Vice President Dick Cheney knew about Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson and when he knew it.
Just for laughs. A waiter asks the customer, "May I take your order, sir?" "Yes," the man replies. "I'm just wondering, how do you prepare your chickens?" "Nothing special, sir. We just tell them straight out, they're going to die."
And the way it's not making a whole lot of noise in the media, but Iraq has a new Constitution. Congratulations to the people of Iraq on their new democracy. And, to paraphrase Ben Franklin: I pray that you can keep it.
A new poll out yesterday claims that if a presidential election were held right now, President Bush would lose to "the Democratic candidate." There's just one problem with this entire formulation -- everyone imagines the "perfect Democrat." That individual looks a little different to each person in that 55 percent and there's no way the […]
