I didn't touch the dang thing, but all of the sudden my template has begun behaving inappropriately. If you're using Internet Explorer, you probably can't read all of the posts (I'd encourage you to switch to Firefox at this point). I don't know what caused this to occur, but I'm going to try to fix […]
From Barone's blog: These Democrats have, at best, lost the capacity to distinguish between opponents of the president who wish the best for America and opponents of the president who don't. Yes, E. J., "we have arrived at a dangerous time." And, no, I wouldn't use and haven't used the word "traitor" or the word […]
If you're into self-abuse, check out this brain-dead editorial from the New York Times. To sum up for those of you who would rather not claw your eyes out: Valerie Plame leak bad; leaks that actually harm national security good. Illegal spying and torture need to be investigated, not whistle-blowers and newspapers. I've found very […]
That's what it is. It's not "domestic spying" no matter how many times the New York Times misuses the term. On Sunday, Times public editor Byron Calame wrote this piece describing how the Times bosses weren't interested in explaining why they held the surveillance story for a year and why they released it when they […]
Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty Tuesday to three felony counts of fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion. He could be sentenced for up to 11 years in federal prison. I hope that the public officials that participated in his schemes -- both Republican and Democrat -- end up spending quality time with him in the […]
Today's Wall Street Journal opinion page has an editorial on how the National Education Association spends members' dues. The article reinforces my belief that unions should be required to get permission from their members (opt-in rather than opt-out) before they spend money on lobbying or political candidates. But I'm also unsure if those classifications go […]
On Friday, the editor of the Bedford Standard-Times -- the newspaper that was hoaxed by a college student claiming that Homeland Security agents had interviewed him after he tried to check out Mao's "Little Red Book" -- wrote an informative column explaining how it all happened. Two things: The paper continues to hide the identity […]
The Instapundit linked to this piece by Rand Simberg over at Transterrestrial Musings on the possible effects of The New York Times breaking the NSA surveillance program just prior to the 2004 presidential election. But perhaps they had the political acumen to realize that it might backfire on them. Consider--the Democrats were trying (however pathetically), […]
That's what I take from this column by the Union-Tribune's Logan Jenkins. Last week, Sheriff's deputies discovered a dozen pilfered Baby Jesuses strewn in a parking lot. This discovery prompted some good and some bad from Jenkins. Jenkins is correct that this wasn't a religious hate crime, but a childish prank. However, Jenkins takes it […]
On Saturday, the San Diego Union-Tribune ran a story on the founder of Kwanzaa -- a convicted felon -- speaking at a local library. What you won't find anywhere in the puff piece is word of Maulana Karenga's checkered past. Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by Dr. Maulana “Ron†Karenga, a former black militant, Marxist […]
