Just for the record: Former President Jimmy Carter's buddy in Venezuela, Hugh Chavez, has been a bad boy. According to this article, Chavez is going through the voter rolls to see who doesn't like him as president -- and firing them. In the two years since she signed a petition that forced a recall vote […]
San Diego Union-Tribune ombudsman Gina Lubrano's column today addresses the paper's coverage of the immigration rallies that took place across the nation last week. Unfortunately, I have a couple of bones to pick with Lubrano's reporting. First, there is this bit: It was not quite as straightforward as that. To say that the march, which […]
Here's a link to save from the Weekly Standard's blog -- it's a pretty comprehensive list of former ambassador Joseph Wilson's changing stories on whether or not Iraq was trying to get uranium from Niger. If anyone still believed Wilson was credible, this should dissuade them (unless they're suffering from an advanced case of BDS).
If this report is accurate, it's funny/sad. If it's inaccurate it's just funny. When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad got an anonymous text message suggesting he didn't wash enough, he did not take it lying down. He fired the president of the phone company, had four people arrested, took other legal action and accused those involve […]
Saturday's Washington Post has an enlightening article on the blogospheric left -- and it's quickly apparent that Bush Derangement Syndrome is reaching epidemic proportions. The article focuses on Maryscott O'Connor of My Left Wing. I'm no psychiatrist, but O'Connor needs some serious help. The article says she's 37, but she looks 47. Oh, and like […]

I must confess that I'm generally not a big fan of the raunchy Comedy Central cartoon series "South Park." However, you've got to give series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker credit for being equal opportunity offenders. On Wednesday night, the latest "South Park" episode was to feature a satirical take on the Muhammed cartoon […]
Reminiscent of the New York Times' tendency to start their annual crime statistics article with: "Despite a drop in crime, more people than ever are in prison..." CBS News makes a similar, erroneous assumption when it comes to public perceptions of Islam. Although Americans believe they are better informed about Islam than they were five […]
If you haven't read this already, then you should -- a U.S. soldier set's Rep. John Murtha and his supporters straight in The Washington Post.
Today's Wall Street Journal has a good editorial [link for subscribers only] detailing the vacuousness of the Democrats' foreign policy/national security views. The article was prompted by Pelosi's recent visit to witness some of the brutal genocide in Darfur and her call to take strong, decisive action -- naming a special envoy. A recently published […]
