"60 Minutes' " resident curmudgeon really needs two things. First, someone needs to take a weed wacker to his eyebrows. Second, he needs to retire. His folksy little pieces about his favorite typewriter or the fact that people don't pick up pennies were amusing 20 years ago. Now he's opining on serious issues -- and […]
The New York Times' Neil MacFarquhar had a piece in yesterday's paper on the Council on American-Islamic Relations. It's not exactly a ringing defense of the terror front group, but it's also not exactly an in-depth investigation. Compared to the Times' infamous 100+ inch investigation hit piece on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in […]
Today's New York Times editorial proclaims the government has "The Right to Ban Arms." The editorial is in response to a D.C. Circuit Appeals Court ruling that the District's blanket ban on handguns is a violation of the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. The editorial is the predictable guns are evil liberal tripe, but […]
A correction from the New York Times editorial page: A March 7 editorial on the conviction of Lewis Libby said incorrectly that Joseph Wilson IV was sent by the State Department in 2002 to Niger to check out a report that Iraq had tried to buy uranium there. Mr. Wilson was sent by the C.I.A. […]
The six Muslim imams who got kicked off a US Airways flight after they terrorized fellow passengers are suing. The prefunctory brief merely notes that the imams prayed in the airport before boarding. They did not mention that the imams distributed themselves onboard the plane in the same manner as the 9/11 terrorists. That two […]

I pose the question because of this letter to the editor in the March 19 edition of Time magazine: [Sen. Joseph] Lieberman [I-Conn.] lost the democratic primary because his constituents […]
Democrats, led by John "My House is Big Enough for Both Americas" Edwards and the nutroots, have decided to cancel a primary debate to be co-hosted by Fox News after a joke by Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes attacked President Bush. That's right, Ailes made President Bush the butt of a joke, and […]
I caught a bit of this morning's "Meet the Press" journalist roundtable on NBC. It should come as no surprise that there were four journalist guests, and not an identifiable conservative to be seen. The assembled members of the high council expressed the consensus view that a pardon for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby would not […]
"The Great Global Warming Swindle" aired last week on Channel 4 in Great Britain and thanks to the power of the Internet you can watch it wherever you are. You can find it at Google Video here without commercial interruption. The Web site for the documentary itself can be found here. If you're merely interested […]
Great Britain has become a case study in recent years in how not to deal with crime. The nation has so restricted gun ownership that it is illegal for people to defend their own homes with one. If a robber breaks into your home and you're there and you shoot him you can expect to […]
