There's been some hubbub about 14-year-old Julia Wilson's MySpace page, which for a time featured a picture of President Bush, the words "Kill Bush" and a dagger stabbing him in the hand. Wilson, described as an honors student, isn't terribly bright. Her posting got her a visit from the Secret Service. Is the Secret Service […]
Despite the continuing low-level rumble of the Mark Foley scandal, the Democrats seem to have largely abandoned their "culture of corruption" talking points. Why? Two reasons. First, there still isn't $90,000 in my freezer. Second, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid violated disclosure rules (at the very least) when he failed to report that he traded […]
In an op-ed in today's New York Times, former President Jimmy Carter advocates for an appeasement far worse than anything Neville Chamberlin advocated in the run-up to World War II.

Unfortunately, like most of those so honored, if Adlesperger is awarded the Medal of Honor it will be posthumously. Adlesperger, acting as the point man for the four-man fire […]
There's a couple of media issues that I want to hit on rather quickly. The first is an interview last week between radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt and Eric Black, a reporter for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. The entire interview is interesting, but I want to highlight one part of it. HH: Eric Black, last […]
