Lt. Col. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, a WWII Marine ace and Medal of Honor awardee, isn't "the sort of person UW (the University of Washington) wanted to produce. The University of Washington's student senate rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of "Black Sheep Squadron" fame amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy […]
As predicted, it didn't take long for the comics to jump all over Dick Cheney. First we have David Letterman's Top 10 list of the Top Ten Dick Cheney Excuses: 10. "Heart palpitation caused trigger finger to spasm" 9. "Wanted to get the Iraq mess off the front page" 8. "Not enough Jim Beam" 7. […]
I'm hopeful that the Muslims will stop rioting over these rather tame cartoons so that I can stop chastising the media for its failure to print them. It's a rare day when I find myself in agreement with "Fox News Watch's" Neal Gabler, who on Saturday's show called the newspapers and broadcast outlets that refused […]
Over at Slate they have a little explainer on hunting etiquette and it's quickly apparent that the headline writer didn't read the story. First, the headline and subhed: Does Dick Cheney Know How To Hunt? What the veep needs to learn about shooting quail. And now the story: On Saturday, Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally […]
Most journalists are liberal -- that's no shocker to anyone who reads this blog or a daily newspaper for that matter. However, one of the tenets of American journalism continues to be that journalists set aside their biases and do their best to try and be fair and objective. Unfortunately for the Washington Post's White […]
It's days like today that you've got to be thankful for the utter incompetence of Florida voters. Had more of them been able to actually cast the vote they meant to cast for Vice President Al Gore, we would've had this nutcase in charge of our response to terrorism. Al Gore told a mainly Saudi […]
I'm still trying to get used to WordPress and the increased complications of running my own site, so you'll forgive me if you've wanted to or tried to post a comment the past couple of weeks and were unable to. I just recently discovered that there are two completely different places that control commenting and […]
Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a fellow hunter Saturday afternoon. The victim, 78-year-old Harry Whittington, is apparently going to be OK. Comedians are going to have a field day with this, but I think that this was just a cynical effort to up Cheney's poll numbers. Whittington is a lawyer -- shooting lawyers always […]
Apparently a lot of prominent conservatives (read: not me) are getting e-mails from outraged liberals regarding comments made at CPAC by bomb-thrower Ann Coulter. Again, for the record, I don't like her. This e-mail campaign is being spurred on by admitted liar David Brock's Media Matters -- but you'd think that at least one conservative […]
Time magazine has published a photo of President Bush meeting with disgraced lobbyist and felon Jack Abramoff. As of today, Time has not published anything on Abramoff's links to Senate Minority leader Harry Reid. In the photograph Time is touting on its Web site, Abramoff can only be seen as a smudge in the background. […]
