I caught a bit of this morning's "Meet the Press" journalist roundtable on NBC. It should come as no surprise that there were four journalist guests, and not an identifiable conservative to be seen. The assembled members of the high council expressed the consensus view that a pardon for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby would not […]
"The Great Global Warming Swindle" aired last week on Channel 4 in Great Britain and thanks to the power of the Internet you can watch it wherever you are. You can find it at Google Video here without commercial interruption. The Web site for the documentary itself can be found here. If you're merely interested […]
Great Britain has become a case study in recent years in how not to deal with crime. The nation has so restricted gun ownership that it is illegal for people to defend their own homes with one. If a robber breaks into your home and you're there and you shoot him you can expect to […]
Courtesy of Hoystory's brother-in-law comes this gem: Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
There's a couple of good articles out today in New York newspapers -- and it should come as no surprise that neither of them is The New York Times. OK, that was gratuitous, but I'm feeling a little punchy today. The first article is actually a New York Sun editorial on the appearance of Jordan's […]
Courtesy of the weird news watchers over at Fark.com, we have this story out of Tampa, Fla., on the stupidity of school administrators when confronted with Nazi-vandalism in the bathrooms.

For the record, you should check out this post by McQ over at QandO. McQ takes on the new "truth" that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were in "reality" a bunch of liars. Also worth reading is this editorial on the verdict in the Libby case from The Washington Post. An excerpt: Mr. Wilson […]
I haven't run the Hoystory Official Tip Cup across the bars of my cage here at Hoystory World Headquarters in months. Frankly, I've had a good deal going here for the past year or so with hosting and bandwith provided through a deal with JuiceCaster (that's the ad/icon/link that I'm sure everyone's been ignoring for […]
Lt. Smash waded into the sewer that is DC Indymedia so that the rest of us don't have to. It seems as though some of the "anti-war" types want to vandalize the Vietnam Memorial at their March 17 rally. What's amusing are comments from a couple of lefties. One suggesting that valiant lefies would never […]
A jury found the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, guilty on four of the five counts he was charged with, including lying to the FBI and obstruction of justice. I obviously didn't see all of the testimony, but color me skeptical that justice was done. Special prosecutor […]
