Kudos to OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto for this zinger from columnist Molly Ivins, who proves once again that logic is an anathema to the liberal columnist. "The first claim [of those who support tax cuts] is that the rich pay more in taxes in the first place. Well, yeah, they do--they have more money. The richest […]
Irene Vandas and Jennifer Ziemann of Vancouver, B.C. Opposition to a war on Iraq has a long way to go before it rivals the draft-card burnings and demonstrations against the war in Vietnam in the 1960s, but a new anti-war movement is growing muscle. Some Canadians already have left for Iraq to serve as human […]
Today's winner of the "Idiot on the Bench" award goes to Ninth Circuit (surprise!) Judge J. Clifford Wallace. Wallace turned down an appeal for asylum from a Chinese couple who feared (rightly) forced sterilization if returned to their country. Wallace wrote in his opinion: While one may condemn the way Xu (Ming Li) was treated […]
It's columns like this one that make me want to be like Steyn when I grow up. Most Canadians and most Europeans are kind, gentle people but, Bush-wise, they're the ones who are mentally challenged. The "moron" line is simply inadequate: no rational person can believe a twice-elected Texas Governor, successful US President and overthrower […]
When you win an award, I often see it as joining a club of people who've won it before. Therefore, I'm creating a list of awards I don't want to win. We'll start with the Nobel Peace Prize (Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter). The Heisman Trophy (O.J. Simpson). Time's Man of the Year (Adolf Hitler). Editor […]

According to "Special Report," Gore is quoted in the upcoming issue of Time magazine as saying: Our foreign policy, based on an openly proclaimed intention to dominate the world, is a […]
That's the line from the Minnesota Democratic Party in its latest lawsuit. Democrats are preparing to raise Florida-style objections to the conduct of the election. For example, Democrats claim the ballot is confusing because it asks voters to write an "X" by the name of the candidate for whom they want to vote. The regular […]
This weekend there were dozens of anti-war protests across the nation, including one here in San Diego. The sad thing is that the quotes and slogans are not only dated -- but they're stupid. "Our biggest weapon of mass destruction is George W. Bush." -- Rio Mezta, Ocean Beach Grassroots Organization Ummm...I like this new […]
We've heard the United States' ultimatum towards Iraq is all about oil argument, but thanks to the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Antiwar.com the next likely argument is that the war is a cover for imminent Israeli genocide. That's right, Israel wants to wipe out all Palestinians, and Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction are […]
Over at National Review Online, Mark Goldblatt presents us with the Dowd Rule: "No one who thinks George W. Bush is stupid is as smart as George W. Bush."
