The lede paragraph of an AP story on the terrorist surveillance program: Senate Republicans blocked Democratic attempts to rein in President Bush's domestic wiretapping program Wednesday, endorsing a White House-supported bill that would give the controversial surveillance legal status. It's not domestic, ^%#$(*&! A phone call from San Diego to Phoenix is not intrastate. It's […]
Dixie Chick big mouth Natalie Maines calls President George W. Bush a "dumb F&%*" in a new documentary that will be incredibly popular in Canada and Europe, but not anywhere associated with "Dixie." I'll say it again: 99.4 percent of people who think President Bush is an idiot aren't nearly as smart as he is. […]
Some stories just write themselves -- from the Lompoc Record.
I periodically check out some of the video game blogs. Why? Because I play video games. I don't blog a lot about video games, because I don't play video games that much. Anyway, Kotaku featured [beware of vulgarities] an interesting story on a World of Warcraft message board by a guy who was responsible for […]
It was obvious before they ever flew the guy out of Bangkok on the taxpayer's dime that John Mark Karr had nothing to do with the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Karr had claimed that he drugged the girl, yet no drugs were found in her system. Karr's relatives said that he was more than a […]

A couple weeks back I slammed the East County Democratic Club for sponsoring a showing of the 9/11 conspiracy movie "Loose Change." If you ever wanted evidence that the nutroots are not to be trusted with national security, then their embrace of a film which blames a massive conspiracy for the 9/11 attacks and not […]
An op-ed in yesterday's Hartford Courant by David Medina proved once again that I'm far too sane to get a job as an editorial writer at a newspaper. Medina's article is a call to ban stun guns. Fair enough. That's certainly a position that is debateable and not outside the mainstream of public opinion. I […]
Former President Jimmy Carter gave an interview to German magazine Der Speigel -- and it's apparent that if he isn't senile then he's anti-Semitic at best and a fool at worst. SPIEGEL: You also mentioned the hatred for the United States throughout the Arab world which has ensued as a result of the invasion of […]
On the other hand, the media, in trying to prove that Republicans are stupid, make themselves look stupid. Q Does the President support the Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut? MR.
