Tech Central Station's James Glassman has an excellent article on Benedict Arnold politicians who attempt to hurt the U.S. economy for short-term political gain. Democrat Presidential hopeful John "Flipper" Kerry, who was forced to co-opt every single one of his opponents' positions because he had none of his own, has been promising to "review" all […]
A former reporter and congressional aide has been arrested for allegedly spying for Iraq. Of course, if you can't remember doing anything wrong, then obviously you've never done anything wrong. In that spirit, former senator and presidential hopeful Carol Moseley-Braun, who employed Susan Lindauer as her press secretary, now "doesn't remember" Lindauer. In this political […]
Sen. John Kerry, at a campaign event in Chicago yesterday, raised the level of the debate by refusing to discuss issues, instead calling Republicans "the most crooked, you know, lying group of people I've ever seen." This seems difficult to believe, seeing as how Kerry has served in the Senate with Ted Kennedy and Robert […]
So I'm looking at my referrer logs and one thing leads to another which leads to this. I must confess that I don't often venture into the far left side of the blogosphere because there is a plague of Bush Derangement Syndrome which is not conducive to rational thought.

First, Laura Bartholomew Armstrong takes aim at Sen. John Kerry's participation in Vietnam Veterans Against the War. As the kid of a real war hero who did not come back, I'd like to comment not on Kerry's service, but his postservice activities.

I'm watching a replay of Thursday night's Democrat presidential debate. Ho hum. I want to see these guys draw some blood. Best line so far: Larry King to Al Sharpton: "Rev. Sharpton, why are you in this race?" Indeed.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has returned from his all-to-short vacation. And he's made some news with this comment: Let me spare you the usual economist's sermon on the virtues of free trade, except to say this: although old fallacies about international trade have been making a comeback lately (yes, Senator Charles Schumer, that […]
If you missed it yesterday, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress that Social Security is structurally unsound and they're going to have to do something about it. With the economy now growing strongly, he said, the deficit "will tend to narrow somewhat" in the short term, but that won't be enough to cover the long-term […]
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright spoke to the Union-Tribune editorial board earlier this month, and a Q&A summary of the interview is available here. There should be no surprise, but the interview contains some whoppers. My favorite (and by that I mean alarming) has to do with North Korea. Is North Korea a threat? […]
Not that he would have voted for him anyway, but San Diego Union-Tribune Insight editor Robert Caldwell outlines the case against John Kerry, from the perspective of a Vietnam veteran.
