In the interest of pointing out instances of idiocy on both sides of the political aisle, I present House Majority Leader Tom Delay. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an "ongoing victory," and said there is simply no fat left to cut […]
Los Angeles got hit by a blackout yesterday when a woman in Reseda plugged in a hair dryer at the same time a guy in Simi Valley turned on the air conditioning ... or something like that. Union official Brian D'Arcy, however, blamed the city's policy of having employees work during the daytime. Brian D'Arcy, […]
Louisiana's fatally incompetent governor, Kathleen Blanco, not only barred the Red Cross from providing food, water and other basic necessities to evacuees at the Superdome and New Orleans Convention Center last week as conditions there quickly deteriorated, but also the Salvation Army. Why? Because she didn't want people to get too comfy. The Salvation Army […]
Chief Justice William Rehnquist died last night -- making a bad night at work worse and causing me to fail to take my state-mandated 30 minute lunch break. This has had the predictible effect of causing the Loony Left to go into super tinfoil hat mode and other assorted disgusting commentary. The hate is palpable.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has decided that the most pressing issue that he has on is plate is french fries -- literally. California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has filed a lawsuit to force top makers of potato chips and french fries to warn consumers about a potential cancer-causing chemical found in the popular snacks. […]
Juan "unctuous piece excrement" Cole decides to try a modified, limited rowback. It stinks and Lisa Ramaci-Vincent should take a two-iron to his groin. So here is the commentary: Was American journalist Steve Vincent killed in Basra as part of an honor killing? He was romantically involved with his Iraqi interpreter, who was shot 4 […]
Thankfully, this time it is Hawaii and not California. Seriously, how many economics classes do you have to fail in order to think that price controls actually work? This is the sort of thing that you'd think a maybe a professional economist writing for The New York Times would want to address, but he's got […]
New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller has been doing hard work following President Bush from place to place on his monthlong "vacation." I haven't spent a whole lot of time analyzing the Times' news coverage. During the 2004 election I discovered just how tainted the paper's hard news coverage had been tainted by liberal ideology […]
