On Sunday, Congressman Jack Murtha was on "Meet the Press." He did not acquit himself well, but Bush Derangement Syndrome seems to have that effect on people afflicted with it. Murtha pointed to the success of the U.S. assassination of terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi to bolster his case for a "redeployment" out of Iraq […]
Well, you're a Hoystory reader, so you probably can. But it's becoming readily apparent that there's a significant portion of the moonbat left that simply cannot. I've been beating on the liberal Web site truthout.org for nearly a month now (see here, here and here) after they falsely reported that White House advisor had been […]
The whole megapixel one-upsmanship thing is just getting out of hand. Dalsa Semiconductor has fabricated an image sensor with more than 111 million pixels. The company claims the 4 x 4-inch charge-coupled device, configured as 10,560 x 10,560 pixels, is the world's highest-resolution image sensor and the first to break the 100 million-pixel barrier.
I spent the afternoon with the family and treated everyone to a lunch at the Prado in Balboa Park. The meal was excellent and was definitely a step above the typical fare that the Hoy clan consumes. After returning to my parents' casa, we watched the local news, which reminded me of why I never […]

When the U.S. Soccer team lost earlier this week to the Czech Republic, I was disappointed. The Americans played lazy and uninspiring soccer. Today's game was a mirror image with the U.S. forcing the action on the Italian side of the pitch, even when they were down 10 men to nine. They still ended up […]
I'm reading a transcript of yesterday's on-air debate between radio host Hugh Hewitt and The New Republic's Peter Beinart when they have this exchange over What Would Harry Do? HH: And I think Harry Truman would agree with that. I don't think Harry Truman would ever agree to the International Criminal Court, do you? PB: […]
It's such an old, lame joke that it doesn't even cause you to crack a smile anymore when you hear it. How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving. Earlier this week Brian Bilbray was sworn in to replace disgraced Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham and it didn't take him long […]
When Germany defeated Poland 1-0 in the World Cup on Wednesday, you knew that there were going to be many oppportunities for good headlines. Of course, FARK is usually the place to go: Germans smash through Polish defense. Again.
