James Taranto's "Best of the Web Today" yesterday highlighted Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean's interview last week in the Boston Globe which I also mentioned. Well, when I saw that, I thought to myself, Taranto hasn't seen anything yet, and pointed him to my post and the related Dean blog post on Christmas Day. Today's […]
I've never really tried this, but if it works for Howard Dean, maybe it'll work for me. See, on Dean's blog, he has a big long post where every link takes you to his contribute page -- and there are nine of them. So, for those of you who are recovering from all of that […]
The Boston Globe has a piece on Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean's own "Southern Strategy" to emphasize his Christianity. Now, I try to do my best not to judge other people's faith, so I won't really comment on the substance of what Dean says in the Globe article. However, Dean did post his "holiday" message […]
Now that Mad Cow Disease has been discovered in the United States, certain aspects of the Democratic presidential race have become apparent.
I finished reading Anton Myrer's "Once An Eagle" last night. It's a heavy tome, nearly 1,300 pages, but it never drags. I began reading the book -- which my father had given me an extra copy of a couple years back, but had sat near the back of my extensive queue since then -- after […]

Wednesday's Wall Street Journal has another great piece (aren't they all) by Mark Steyn. There was a revealing moment on MSNBC the other night. Chris Matthews asked Dr. Dean whether Osama bin Laden should be tried in an American court or at The Hague. "I don't think it makes a lot of difference," said the […]
Rep. Jim McDermott, Washington State's designated idiot in the Congress said Saddam's capture on Saturday was timed to help President Bush politically. In an interview Monday with a Seattle radio station, McDermott said the U.S. military could have found the former Iraqi dictator "a long time ago if they wanted." Asked if he thought the […]
Matt Drudge is reporting that MoveOn.org, the rabid, anti-war, anti-Bush Web site/liberal interest group has been soliciting funds from abroad in an effort to affect political change here in the United States. Funding from non-citizens to affect national elections is illegal. During the Clinton administration, the Chinese funneled money to help re-elect the president. Restauranteur […]
I've got a mess of explorer windows open to various stories that I've been meaning to share, and it's time to close some of them. So here they are: The Los Angeles Times reports on how fewer than 1,000 soldiers took on much of the Iraqi Army and militia in the heart of Baghdad. An […]
