No, I'm not sure exactly what the headline on this post means. It just has a certain feeling to it. Maybe it's because of the sound a bag of hammers makes when you drop it on the floor -- or swing it and hit California Sen. Barbara Boxer in the head. This would mean that […]
It should come as no surprise that the New York Times editorial page would toe the left-liberal party line that Gen. David Petraeus is a liar. However, if you're supportive of the troops and their mission in Iraq, then the editorial board invites you to barge in on their editorial meetings and be heard. When […]
The New Republic continues to stonewall on the Scott Thomas Beauchamp fabulism. Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee reports over at Pajamas Media that TNR's vaunted fact-checking department didn't actually do any fact-checking. And here's the bit that hurts the most: While TNR complains that they can't get Beauchamp to talk to them, he manages to […]
You can see a full size PDF of today's MoveOn.org ad in today's New York Times by clicking on the accompanying image. I've got to say that this is probably the most disgusting piece of political hackery since Grover Cleveland had to endure taunts of "Ma, Ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House. […]
If you're interested in global warming and are familiar with shell scripts and Fortran, you can now access the code written by NASA's James Hansen on the taxpayers' dime. Hansen continues to come across as a horse's behind as he reluctantly released data that we paid for. Because the programs include a variety of languages […]

This anonymous senator should have the guts to […]
The paying job prevented me from noting this late last week, and I wasn't the only one to make the connection: Osama bin Laden's latest speech sounds like it was cobbled together from the Daily Kos and Huffington Post. Seriously. Osama praises Noam Chomsky. You know, if you're a Chomsky fan you might want to […]
The "Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund" was set up to benefit the families of victims of the 9/11 attacks. According to the New York Post, (via Don Surber) it appears the charity, that was promoted by former President Bill Clinton and former GOP Sen. Bob Dole, is better described as the a source of livelihood […]
John Podhoretz has a touching remembrance of author Madeleine L'Engle who died last week at 88. I encourage you to give it a read.
We're getting to the point where "congressman" and "crook" will be listed as synonyms in Roget's Thesaurus. This corruption spans both chambers of Congress and crosses the aisle. However there does appear to be a common thread running through all of them -- the more seniority, and more power politicians gain, the more likely they […]
