Democrats insist that they want to fight al Qaeda terrorists ... in Afghanistan. Any suggestion that there might possibly be any al Qaeda types in Iraq is met with scorn and derision. Today's case in point is courtesy the guys over at Powerline who have video of Rep. Jack Murtha accusing Gen. David Petraeus of […]
And by "con" I mean conservative, as historian Mark Moyar has found out. Mark Moyar doesn't exactly fit the stereotype of a disappointed job seeker. He is an Eagle Scout who earned a summa cum laude degree from Harvard, graduating first in the history department before earning a doctorate at the University of Cambridge in […]
A couple of notes on the new design: A stylesheet switcher is still on my list of things to do. The delay is due to the utter complexity of the stylesheets on this template. Swapping calls for "white" (the text color) with "black" is relatively easy, but there's a lot of hexadecimal values that are […]
Courtesy of Patterico comes this story about a lawyer and his pants. The lawyer took his suit pants to a dry cleaners and they lost them. It happens. But then the lawyer sued -- and what a lawsuit it is. He wants $67 million. For one pair of pants. How does he come up with […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune won a Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for exposing Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham as a thoroughly corrupt politician. In fact, if there's a sure way of winning a Pulitzer, it's discovering and documenting corruption by a national politician.

John Boehner more than $700,000 after a federal appeals court struck down his First Amendment claim that he had the right to distribute to the media an illegally made recording of a cell phone call. Democrats have once again proved that they are against […]
Correction appended. Today is the communists' favorite holiday, so it should come as no surprise that pinkos make their way out of the woodwork today. For the second year in a row, supporters of open-borders are rallying across the United States. It would seem like these rallies would be a target-rich environment for Immigration and […]
That's how Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz describes former President Jimmy Carter and his prediliction for Arab cash. The extent of Carter's financial support from, and even dependence on, dirty money is still not fully known. What we do know is deeply troubling. Carter and his Center have accepted millions of dollars from suspect […]
I knew there was more to that plan to send those two rovers to Mars. It turns out that they were part of a plot to implicate the sun in global warming -- both on Earth and Mars. Mars is being hit by rapid climate change and it is happening so fast that the red […]
Kirsten Powers, a Democrat strategist, proves on today's Wall Street Journal that she's a moderate, sensible Democrat, [link for subscribers only] but it's unlikely that her party will listen. The Democratic Party has made a huge show of reaching out to religious voters, for whom abortion is a central issue. Overtures have been made to […]
