When Democrats took over the House of Representatives last year, they promised change. One of the changes they promised is known as "paygo." What it means in layman's terms is that every tax cut (haha!) or spending increase has to be offset by spending cuts or tax increases. In theory, this means there would be […]
Many Democrats and their allies on the loony left want to close down the terrorist detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, because the international community has become convinced that all sorts of really bad things happen there. This, of course, ignores the fact that the terrorists are treated at least 1.5 million times better than […]
USA Today has a good article on the farm bill currently making its way through Congress. Remember, whenever you hear about the farm bill it's you who's getting the shaft. Rep. Marion Berry, D-Ark., says the system works well. He and his family's farming interests received almost $2.4 million in federal payments from 1995-2005, records […]

I'll let Ramesh Ponnuru have the first word on this: He has a long, confused op-ed on abortion in the L. A. Times. His focus on evangelicals is a little odd—if all you […]
Paul Krugman thinks that he's Isaac Asimov's genius social scientist/psychohistorian Hari Seldon. At least he's got the "psycho" part right.
Yesterday, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced they would support Attorney General-nominee Michael Mukasey. Schumer was backed into this corner after he had tossed Mukasey's name out as an acceptable nominee while the president was deciding on his pick. Not even he thought the waterboarding canard was sufficient cover for […]
