One month and five days after The New York Times ran an article allowing a lawyer to lodge an anonymous, ad hominem against director Peter Jackson, the Times finally acknowledges its faux pas. An article in Business Day on June 27 headed "Lawsuit of the Rings" described a court action by Peter Jackson, director of […]
Former President Jimmy Carter apologized yesterday for his failure to take strong action more than 25 years ago when Islamic terrorists overran the American embassy in Tehran, Iran, and held Americans hostage for more than a year. "My failure to take decisive action gave terrorists the impression that America was weak," Carter told the Baptist […]
Characterizing the America-hating cartoonist Ted Rall as an America-hater apparently gets his panties in a bundle. Unfortunately, Taranto's apparently too good a man to take Rall up on his offer -- so I'll do it for him. What do you say Teddy-boy America-hater? You (the America-hater) and me in a Toughman fight with the proceeds […]
I saw this Associated Press article on the wire earlier, and you can quickly guess what piqued my interest. Feinstein is a middle-of-the-road Democrat who sometimes breaks ranks with her party colleagues. Two years ago, she was one of six committee Democrats who voted in favor of Roberts for the appeals court. Feinstein is middle […]

The following exchange is in regard to the early morning passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). Q Can you elaborate, Madame Leader, on some of the offers that were made […]
I've been criticized by an elderly individual because I have failed to publish any pictures or accounts of my recent foray into hot and humid New England. I'm working on it, but here, to tide you over is a photograph of one individual who wasn't bothered by the recent record highs.
The Democrats have a complete moron as the head of their party. These people think President George W. Bush is dumb, but Howard Dean is a gibbering idiot. He also said the president was partly responsible for a recent Supreme Court decision involving eminent domain. "The president and his right-wing Supreme Court think it is […]
In the classic golf movie "Tin Cup," Don Johnson plays pro golfer David Simms who is described as hating old people, kids and dogs. Well, today there's a lot of news that demonstrates that the American left, while it does its best to look soft and cuddly on the outside, really hates Alzheimer's patients, needy […]
The Senate on Tuesday voted to allow Boy Scouts access to U.S. military bases -- a move prompted by the ACLU's crusade against the organization for being insufficiently PC. In a 98-0 vote, the Senate approved the provision continuing the hosting of Boy Scout events as part of massive bill setting Defense Department policy for […]
As NRO's Stephen Spruiell noted earlier this week, The New York Times screwed up, accusing the Bush administration of violating a non-existent court order. I alerted Spruiell that Editor & Publisher had repeated the Times' error. Unlike the Times, E&P has not made a correction. Yesterday, the falsehood spread when Fark.com, a combination news-link site, […]
