Bill Clinton is back in the news for telling another whopper -- and it's not about how big a fish he caught. As The New York Post points out: Bill Clinton has always been a stranger to the truth, but is it possible that he's never heard of Google? Apparently. How else to explain his […]
Today's Wall Street Journal has an op-ed piece by a former prisoner in North Korea's "Political Prison Camp No. 14." Unfortunately, the link is for subscribers only. An excerpt: I was a slave under club and fist. It was a world where love, happiness, joy or resistance found no meaning. This was the situation I […]
Does it come with a check? CNN's lame defense of its failure to vet the YouTube questioners continues to diminish their credibility. The whole point of these ground-breaking CNN/YouTube debates is to focus on substantive questions of concern to real people and to throw open the process to a wider range of Americans all around […]
The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes on CNN's vetting of questioners during the CNN/YouTube debate from today's "Special Report with Brit Hume." Well, remember CNN says they're just average Americans that are asking the questions that Americans are interested in. But they had 5,000 people send in tapes and they picked out those 34.

I defended CNN a couple weeks ago when it turned out that several of the "undecided voters" at the Democratic Debate were in fact political operatives of one sort or the other.

Jan Crawford Greenburg, the author of Supreme Conflict, has an excellent summary of how the justices just might come down on the D.C. gun ban that it coming before the Supreme Court this term. Greenburg makes an interesting case that the decision may not be 5-4 in the classic conservative/liberal split. Here's hoping.
President Bush, like any politician, has made some good moves and some bad ones. This week's farce of a peace conference in Annapolis, Md., is one of the bad ones. Israeli and Palestinian leaders pledged yesterday in Annapolis to begin negotiations next month for a possible peace agreement, but their speeches before representatives of 40 […]
And the man doesn't have a prayer of becoming president. Instapundit summarizes: "Don't hate me because I'm smarter than you." Only a politician -- or professional athlete -- can manage this degree of arrogance. Sorry, but the man behind the assault on free speech that is McCain-Feingold isn't going to get a lot of conservative […]
Over at the Huffington Post they have a brief on Vice President Dick Cheney's irregular heartbeat. Unlike just about every other story, this one never had open comments. Does anyone wonder why?
