Today's New York Times has a follow-up piece on Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean's cynical-appearing plan to talk more about his "faith" in the more-religious Southern states. Dr. Dean recently told an audience in Iowa that he prayed daily. On the plane he declined to detail his prayer ritual but described how a 2002 trip […]
Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean has been criticized for sealing many documents from his time as governor of Vermont. Dean claims that he's just doing what every other Vermont governor has done -- only for about twice as long. Of course, the media will find whatever may be damaging to Dean, because someone will leak […]
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 […]

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 […]
Democrat presidential frontrunner Dr. Howard Dean has done something stupid. Howard Dean came under criticism from an Iowa newspaper last weekend for an answer to a questionnaire in which he implied that his brother was serving in the military when he disappeared in Laos 29 years ago. His brother had been traveling in Southeast Asia […]
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 […]
