In the classic golf movie "Tin Cup," Don Johnson plays pro golfer David Simms who is described as hating old people, kids and dogs. Well, today there's a lot of news that demonstrates that the American left, while it does its best to look soft and cuddly on the outside, really hates Alzheimer's patients, needy […]
I'm skeptical that this Washington Post story on House Democrats' move to address retirement savings might eventually mean an alternative plan for fixing Social Security would be forthcoming. According to the article, Democrats continue to refuse to even discuss the issue until President Bush and the GOP vow to stop suggesting any form of voluntary […]
Jane Fonda is going to go on an anti-war tour. Fonda's announcement includes this "well, duh" statement: "I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she said. "I carry a lot of baggage from that." To quote the movie "Spanglish": "Sometimes low self-esteem is just good common sense."

Tom Maguire provides a link-filled primer for reporters, bloggers and pundits interested in the whole Joseph Wilson affair. It's been awhile since I've seen a bigger bunch of political nothin'. The silly season is upon us.
