Have I ever mentioned that I was standing on the moon in my spacesuit as I watched Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon back in 1969? Some of you will say that I wasn't yet born, but that's such a trifle. OK, I confess. I wasn't on the moon that day. Heck, I wasn't […]
National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru follows up on Sen. John Kerry's dubious Social Security scaremongering that I noted earlier this week. The campaign has backed off its claim that Goolsbee's study tells us anything about benefit levels under a Bush-style reform. They have also gotten rid of all the language that claims that today's retirees would […]
Fox News just played a clip of Sen. John Kerry out on the stump again today and he had this to say -- likening current times to the Vietnam era: As I look out at these faces, these are the same kinds of times. Mothers and families distressed and torn apart over what's happening, young […]
When most people -- Democrats especially -- think of "crimes" committed by a secretary of state former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris typically comes to mind. However, we here in California have our own really corrupt secretary of state, Kevin Shelley. The Sacramento Bee has been reporting that Shelley has been using federal funds […]
National Review's Jim Geraghty has lots of good stuff over at the "Kerry Spot." First, Geraghty points out what Kerry should've had on his schedule today if he'd been running a half-way competent campaign. Kerry just made two moves that I think are tremendously boneheaded mistakes. The left and the right agree that Iraq is […]
Liberal interest groups like People for the American Way are already putting out stories that evil, racist Republicans are trying to keep blacks from voting Democratic. Millions of U.S. citizens, including a disproportionate number of black voters, will be blocked from voting in the Nov. 2 presidential election because of legal barriers, faulty procedures or […]
I'm watching CNN's "Inside Politics" and they're reporting on Sen. John Kerry's promise to do nothing about Social Security's structural flaws and continue down the merry road to destruction. No, that's not how they're characterizing it, but that's the reality. Kerry is promising to never privatize Social Security. Fine. Kerry also was touting a study […]
Yeah, those people you see at peace rallies really are the type that support our troops. A local soldier back from the war in Iraq said he was beaten at an area concert because of what was printed on his T-shirt, NBC 4's Nancy Burton reported. Foster Barton, 19, of Grove City, received a Purple […]
I'm watching it right now, and Shakespeare comes to mind, specifically Macbeth: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. I can't wait to see a transcript of this, because listening to Kerry actually speak could be used as an anesthetic in hospitals for major surgery. *UPDATE* OK, […]
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on "Fox News Sunday": John Kerry has been very clear on Iraq. Someone's let Richardson in on Kerry's "secret plan" -- unfortunately, no one else gets to see it. It's been put in a lockbox.
