The New York Times editorial page, even with the departure of Gail Collins, is still the place where facts get the shortest shrift in that paper -- and that's saying something. Courtesy of Brit Hume's "Political Grapevine" comes this news: Letter to the Editor Vice President Cheney's office has fired off a letter to the […]
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was sentenced today to 30 months in prison for having a different recollection of events than Tim Russert. The case was a joke from the beginning. An out-of-control prosecutor -- I'm looking at you Patrick Fitzgerald -- apparently figured he had to get someone for something and Libby lost the coin […]
I confess that I watched the Democrat debate Sunday night. I paid pretty close attention for the first half, but by the second half I had it going on the second TV as I played Forza Motorsport 2 on the Hi-Def Tube. I must admit that driving fast and listening to Democrats is not the […]
Still no $90,000 in my freezer. Rep. William Jefferson (D-Graft), however, has been indicted. House Minority Leader John Boehner has plans for Jefferson's quick expulsion from the House. We'll see how Democrats act when the culture of corruption is fueled by one of their own.
Let me explain the "logic" that goes into the formulation for the headline. Democrats are buddy-buddy with the ACLU.

John "$400 haircut" Edwards at the debate tonight: "I don't know if I know what a rich person is."
Nation columnist and all-around hack Eric Alterman was arrested at Sunday night's Democrat Presidential Debate. Alterman apparently got in a huff after some guy in a private suite kicked him out and wouldn't give Alterman his name so he could mock him in his blog tomorrow. I'd also like to point out a comment by […]
Wow. Just wow. This is today's New York Times front page: Yesterday, the Justice Department announced the arrest of three individuals and the search for a fourth in connection with a plot to destroy jet fuel tanks and fuel pipelines at JFK Airport. That story is not on the front page. Where did the Times […]
Senate rules allow senators to hitch rides on cushy private airplanes if they reimburse their benefactor at the rate for a corresponding first-class ticket. Of course, if you or I were to try to hire a private jet by using the same rationale -- and wad of cash -- we'd get the jet door slammed […]
I know that Hillary wasn't responsible for banner behind her, although she would've been smart to jokingly note the mistake for the record. Having said that, you know that if President Bush -- or just about any Republican candidate -- had appeared in front of a similarly misspelled banner the gaffe would've been all over […]
