While I'm not sure whether I want to continue in the daily newspaper business when my tenure with the Union-Tribune is up this Friday, I continue to look at the journalism job sites because that's where my training and experience is. As someone who thinks that the recent talk of government bailouts of the newspaper […]
On Sunday, a man with a history of mental illness murdered abortionist George Tiller. The murder was tragic, evil and wrong. His murder was denounced by every major pro-life organization in the country. The media was quick to attack pro-life organizations and those vocally opposed to the culture of abortion-on-demand and late term abortion as […]
I've been doing my homework on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Specifically, I've been looking at the Ricci case. The Wall Street Journal has posted the audio of the oral arguments in the case before the 2nd Circuit panel on which Sotomayor sat. I also went and read the transcript [PDF […]
For the record: I have no problem with President Obama taking the First Lady to a Broadway show. The White House shouldn't be a prison. However, it's more than a little hypocritical for Obama to call for belt-tightening in these economic times, lambasting companies who provide junkets in Las Vegas and ripping into the Big […]
The gunman has been arrested. I will reprint Robert P. George's comments, because they most closely mirror mine. Whoever murdered George Tiller has done a gravely wicked thing. The evil of this action is in no way diminished by the blood George Tiller had on his own hands. No private individual had the right to […]
It's been quite some time since I've watched Bill O'Reilly's show on a regular basis. While I agree with him more often than not, I've been repeatedly frustrated by his failure to do adequate research and his interview of then-candidate Barack Obama was embarrassing. O'Reilly would ask a difficult question of Obama, and then when […]
Remember back when Democrats cared about the "politicization" of the Justice Department after President George W. Bush fired a handful of U.S. attorneys -- people who serve at the president's pleasure? Well, those days are apparently long gone. From The Washington Times comes word that President Barack Obama's political appointees have overruled career Justice Department […]
On a personal note: I'm still looking for a job. I've got some solid leads, but I'd really like to have some more options before I move forward. On that note, I think a government job might be good. As Jason Pye over at QandO notes, President Obama has said he has "created" 150,000 jobs […]
Yesterday, President Barack Obama announced the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court. Sotomayor is a woman (so now Ginsberg will have someone to go to the bathroom with), a Hispanic, and a lefty -- and those appear to be the three most important things in her selection. Barring […]
I haven't commented on last week's dueling speeches between President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney. From a purely political standpoint, the fact that Cheney is the one making these sorts of speeches just goes to show you how shallow the GOP bench is on national security issues. As former federal prosecutor Andrew […]
