Watching the confirmation hearing for Condolezza Rice and I must confess that Chris Dodd, friend to Latin American tyrants and fascists, needs to be hit with a clue-by-four. Dodd's suggestion that we need to give al Qaeda terrorists Geneva Convention protections is the worst sort of idiocy. *sarcasm* No, we don't want to make al […]
I've often said that more left-wing activists are foul-mouthed jackasses than are right-wing activists. Go to any anti-war rally or visit Democratic Underground (aka DUMB, aka the sewer) or visit most lefty blogs and you'll find more f-words than the script of most major Hollywood releases. Today's case in point is columnist Michelle Malkin's hate […]
Victoria Toensing and Bruce W. Stanford have a piece in today's Washington Post outlining the law and what is required for having named liar Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA agent. At the threshold, the agent must truly be covert. Her status as undercover must be classified, and she must have been assigned […]
California Sen. Barbara Boxer is reportedly considering objecting to the counting of Ohio's electoral votes because of voting irregularities. Let us review: President Bush won Ohio by more than 100,000 votes out of about 5.5 million cast.

It looks as though Washington state has a new governor. After two machine recounts failed to give Democrat Christine Gregoire a victory, a statewide hand recount has reportedly allowed Democrats to keep hold of the statehouse. The Democrats quickly claimed victory. It should be noted that when Republican Dino Rossi won the first count by […]
Last week, a Democrat elector in Minnesota had a "senior moment" and mistakenly voted for Sen. John Edwards for president and vice president. If that wasn't bad enough, we find out today that the electors for New York screwed up too, casting their votes for "John L. Kerry." So, it looks like the final electoral […]
Harvard's Kennedy School of Government held a forum with 2004 presidential campaign managers Mary Beth Cahill (Kerry) and Ken Mehlman (Bush) that contained this interesting tidbit. Mary Beth Cahill, who spoke at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government with Ken Mehlman, President Bush's campaign manager, said the Massachusetts senator's campaign initially thought there would be […]
The New York Times today reported a settlement between First Command Financial Services and the government. First Command is one of those disgusting companies that have preyed on military families. NASD and the Securities and Exchange Commission said that First Command exaggerated the track record of its high-cost fund products - with fees that ate […]
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is once again in the news because its chairwoman, Mary Frances Berry, has decided that term limits don't apply to her. Mary Frances Berry's term as a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights ended at midnight Sunday, but as of this writing she maintains that her term […]
