The far left fever swamp that is the DailyKos is featuring an interesting post by someone who identifies himself as Kestrel9000 and posits a conspiracy theory: Army ranger and former NFL star Pat Tillman was assassinated because he planned to meet with anti-war activist/author Noam Chomsky. Seriously. We have confirmed that Tillman had arranged to […]
At least, that's apparently what New York Sen. Chuck Schumer believes. New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a powerful member of the Democratic leadership, said Friday the Senate should not confirm another U.S. Supreme Court nominee under President Bush “except in extraordinary circumstances.” “We should reverse the presumption of confirmation,” Schumer told the American Constitution […]
The New Republic's "Baghdad Diarist" revealed himself this morning. He's Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp. The fact that his pseudonym was "Scott Thomas" meant that he wasn't really interested in keeping his identity secret. Milblogger JD Johannes had already narrowed TNR's diarist down to the unit level -- about 100 men, so Beauchamp's decision to come […]
That's what should've happened in this case: The two boys tore down the hall of Patton Middle School after lunch, swatting the bottoms of girls as they ran -- what some kids later said was a common form of greeting.

That should be […]
Chicago Sun-Times columnist/wife of the publisher Jennifer Hunter, fresh off an embarrassing defense of her characterization of trial lawyer James Ronca as a "staunch Republican," goes back to the well once again. This time, Hunter publishes a letter in which Ronca defends his "staunch" Republican credentials. After a couple of paragraphs of name-dropping and a […]
If there was ever any doubt (there isn't) that the New York Times editorial page was partisan rather than principled, just check out today's lead editorial on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's use of state police for political purposes -- and imagine President Bush had behaved similarly. To say that the Times criticisms of Spitzer […]
Some have noted that you may occassionally see an ad down on the right for Barack Obama for President. It's an ad served up by Google, likely because this site has a lot of political content. I have not endorsed any candidate for president, and I certainly won't be endorsing Obama. Having said that, if […]
The New Republic is now investigating the veracity of the claims made by the pseudonymous "Scott Thomas" that I outlined last week. This is probably something they should've done before they printed it, but The New Republic has a history there. I encourage you to visit The Weekly Standard's blog and just start scrolling for […]
