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 […]
Paul Krugman's favorite blogger, the anonymous Atrios, has the following "thoughts" on the capture of the Butcher of Baghdad: These are just some unorganized idle thoughts before I've had a cup of coffee. Capturing Saddam is a good thing - he was a bad guy. I'm really glad he was captured and not killed. But, […]

(Host CHRIS) WALLACE: Governor, I don't think anybody would deny that those are very important issues, but why take the others -- […]
The New York Times has a pretty positive candidate profile of every Democrat's favorite hatemonger, the Rev. Al Sharpton. The Times piece is fairly standard stuff, but it leaves out some facts that informed voters should know about. Not mentioned in the article are: Sharpton's demonstration, protest and incitement against the "white interlopers" at Freddie's […]
The intelligentsia on the left have often had their fun with gaffes by Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle to George W. Bush. It appears as though Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean may give the right a similar opportunity for hilarity. Many have already pointed out Dean's repeated referrals to the Soviet Union as […]
The New York Times news article on the faux Middle East peace plan includes this from former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter: Mr. Carter, defeated in his quest for re-election by Ronald Reagan in 1980, speculated that "had I been elected to a second term, with the prestige and authority and influence […]
Eugene Volokh has a succinct roundup of some pretty hilarious anti-Bush stupidity.
