Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran died yesterday due to a brain tumor. Cochran's most well-known accomplishment was playing the race card to help former pro football star O.J. Simpson to get away with murder. My sympathies go out to his family. There's one big disappointing thing about Cochran's untimely death -- the Supreme Court may not […]
A Philadelphia judge last week dismissed criminal charges against four antigay activists who were arrested at a gay and lesbian street festival. In dismissing the case, which attracted national attention, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Pamela Dembe said that the demonstrators simply had been exercising their First Amendment rights. Calling the United States "one of […]
The right to speak your mind only applies to liberals. That may sound like some sort of stupid joke, but the American left all too often behaves as it is true. When you criticize some sophomoric Hollywood star who has taken it upon themselves to be the font of all that is right and good […]
Al Hunt's column in today's Wall Street Journal is entitled "McCain-Feingold Did Its Job" -- an analysis that is laughable to say the least. [Link requires paid subscription.] The most compelling case for the success of the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance measure is the case that was made against it. This was a passionately contested national election, […]
I've said it many times, but I don't spend a lot of time visiting the innumerable lefty blog sites. I find enough to get annoyed by and blog about from just reading the mainstream media. Also, that time can be much better spent blasting covenant aliens. Other bloggers are far more intrepid than I, specifically […]
Some of you may recall that several months ago a student at Poway High School got pulled out of class for wearing a T-shirt with the words "I Will Not Accept What God Has Condemned" on the front and "Homosexuality Is Shameful, Romans 1:27" on the back. He wore the T-shirt the same day some […]
Keep this on your clipboard whenever your Democrat friends complain about the "vicious" attack ads that the Bush/Cheney campaign and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are airing. Who's Counting? $106,124,400: Estimated amount spent on TV ads by President Bush's campaign and pro-Republican groups since March. $181,792,922: Estimated amount spent on TV ads by the Kerry […]
The charges flying back and forth for the past few days in this year's presidential campaign is the calls by Sen. John Kerry, and now Sen. John Edwards, that President Bush order the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's advertisements off the air. Kerry and his surrogates have claimed, without any real evidence, that Bush is […]
The left-wing Democrat surrogate MoveOn.org has come out with an advertisement attacking President Bush for his service in the National Guard. This is no surprise. What is a surprise is MoveOn.org's demand that Bush should somehow censor Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. "George Bush used his father to get into the National Guard, and -- […]
UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh has been looking at the threatened lawsuit against the JibJab parody of "This land is your land." (If you haven't seen it, you need to.) After reading all of those posts and Volokh's considered opinion that JibJab has a relatively weak legal position, I wonder why the Capitol Steps haven't […]
