Wholly-owned subsidiaries

The Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel demonstrates that the NAACP isn't the Democratic Party's only wholly-owned subsidiary.

Want to go to war? You've got to get shot at first

The San Diego Union-Tribune's Lionel Van Deerlin takes up the cause of the doves with his position that you're not allowed to advocate a war unless you've been in combat. Still, I have to wonder about the raucous calls we hear for storming ramparts in far-off places. Might such clamor come with greater credibility -- […]

Obviously you must have confused me with the other Julian Bond

NAACP chairman Julian Bond has an op-ed piece in Sunday's Washington Post in which he makes some pretty peculiar claims. As a longtime and now nonpartisan observer of African American politics... Nonpartisan? This is the same Julian Bond who said Bush "has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics." And... "...he has chosen […]

Marwan Barghouti revisited

I took MSNBC's Eric Alterman to task for his claim that Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti was someone with whom Israel could make peace. Barghouti is the leader of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades. That's the same peace-loving group that did this: Palestinian militants shot a teenaged girl in the head and killed her on Friday […]

Where there's smoke...

Economist Paul Krugman takes on fire policy in his latest diatribe against Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Oops...my mistake. Krugman's attacking Bush, for wanting exactly the same thing for the rest of the fire-ravaged West that Daschle arranged for South Dakota. Thinning of the forests in an effort to minimize the effects of forest fires. […]

Eric Alterman -- the latest conspiracy theory

MSNBC's Eric Alterman may be suffering from undiagnosed paranoia along with some latent racism. If you haven't read the post immediately below this one on outgoing Rep. Cynthia McKinney (Nutcase-Ga.), then read it now and then come back up here. Alterman, it should come as only a mild surprise, agrees with the Texas representative that […]

Equal-opportunity racists

A couple years back CBS (I think) put on a short-lived remake of the classic "All in the Family" substituting a black family in the cast. The show didn't fly, but I do remember one of the lines the lead character uttered in the promos. The new version of Rob "Meathead" Reiner accused the new […]

Everybody does it

While Democrats are screaming to know how much influence Enron may have had on President Bush's energy policy, Time magazine reveals that -- oops the Clinton administration was listening to Enron too. Long before Cheney's task force met with Enron officials and included their ideas in Bush's energy plan, Clinton's energy team was doing much […]

Almost Best of the Web Today

In additon to e-mailing the Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit about Eric Alterman's comments (see below), I sent a similar e-mail to OpinionJournal.com's "Best of the Web Today." Best of the Web did assail Alterman for his comment, but didn't link to me. Even though I'm listed as a contributor down at the bottom. Must...work....harder...need...links. […]

Fact-checking Alterman

I don't often check Alterman's blog, but I checked it out today and was shocked by what he said. Marwan Barghouti, as I understand it, plans and helps execute attacks against Israelis only in the occupied territories, where right-wing and opportunist Israelis have chosen to put themselves and their families at risk on land to […]
