Here's a couple of articles that should bring a smile to your face. First, here's a behind-the-scenes look at President Bush's recent visit to Enterprise, Ala., scene of the tragic destruction of Enterprise High School by a tornado. Next, we have a baby who is easily amused by his father playing golf on the Nintendo […]
I got done reading Jan Crawford Greenburg's excellent book "Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle For Control of the United States Supreme Court" last week. I strongly suggest that you pick it up if you're at all interested in the Supreme Court. Greenburg has more than capably outlined the past 30-some years of […]
I've been wanting to point out this op-ed piece by one of the lawyers in the case of Harper v. Poway Unified School District, but haven't got around to it. For those who haven't been following the case, Tyler Chase Harper was sent to detention for wearing a T-shirt in response to the Gay, Lesbian, […]
Blogger/writer Cathy Seipp whose work has been featured in National Review, The Wall Street Journal and The Los Angeles Times is in the hospital, barring a miracle for the last time. *UPDATE 3/21/07* Cathy died today.
Eighteen professors and a ton of computing power has solved E8. Nope, I don't know what it means. Nope, I don't understand what potential benefits this has.

BusinessWeek looks into those Al Gore-touted carbon offsets and unsurprisingly finds that they're basically bogus.
The New York Times' "TimesSelect" service has hurt the influence of its op-ed columnists in the public discussion. Where once their was a cottage industry in ripping into Paul Krugman, there is only silence because only those forking over $50 a year can read the original drivel. In an effort to increase readership among the […]
I usually don't wade into anything involving Rosie O'Donnell because she's not a serious thinker. However, her analysis of the confession of Khalid Sheik Mohammed was just too good to pass up. I think the man has been in custody of the American government, in secret CIA torture prisons in Guantanamo Bay, where torture is […]
Former CIA agent Valerie Plame appeared before a House committee this afternoon and played the victim. I won't go line by line, but let's just say that just about everything Plame said was a lie, including "the" and "and." Tom Maguire over at Just One Minute has a post up with helpful links, including this […]
The infamous non-flying imams filed their lawsuit against US Airways this week and now that we can see the entire suit, it turns out that this is about more than just threatening the airline. But the most alarming aspect of the imams' suit is buried in paragraph 21 of their complaint. It describes "John Doe" […]
