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 […]
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 […]
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. It concludes with this story. It was the first marriage for both. Shouldn't that be: "It wasn't the first marriage for both"?
John Hinderaker over at Powerlineblog has perhaps the most in-depth and exhaustive legal analysis of presidential powers vis a vis national security and surveillance. In brief: not illegal, not unconstitutional, not impeachable.

Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter reveals that President Bush had both New York Times executive editor Bill Keller and publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. in the oval office and pleaded with them not to reveal the NSA's surveillance of international communications during a time of war. (There is no word on whether or not the oval office […]
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 […]
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 […]
