You get what you pay for

I'd apologize for the lack of posting, but ... well, the headline says it all. I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving day. If you missed it on Wednesday, I wanted to point to this little bit of unintentional hilarity that comes to us courtesy of The Washington Post's Dan Froomkin (via Taranto). In […]

Memorial? Not quite

This is the sort of article that really ticks me off. Why? Because it's not up front and honest about what's going on. SLO display features soldiers killed in Iraq war Boo Boo Records on Monterey Street in San Luis Obispo has dedicated its front window to an art exhibit that shows the faces of […]

Monday morning reading

This is a couple of weeks old, but I only saw it Saturday, so it's new to me. Warning, make sure you have tissue available before you start reading this story about Marines who are tasked with notifying loved-ones that their brother/sister/son/daughter has been killed overseas.

Who's playing politics with the Iraq war?

Answer: Democrats. For the past several weeks the Democrats in Congress have been peddling the "Bush lied, people died" slander and calling for the immediate (and irresponsible) pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. The other day, Vietnam War vet and Democrat congressman John Murtha called for the "immediate" pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. Murtha […]

Rewriting history

The New York Times editorial page (unsurprisingly) goes to bat for revisionist Democrats with this silliness in today's paper. The Times charges, that President Bush is the one rewriting history, not their Democrat allies. Mr. Bush says everyone had the same intelligence he had - Mr. Clinton and his advisers, foreign governments, and members of […]

How to do real reporting

The editors at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer could learn a thing or two dozen from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. While the P-I is more than satisfied to reprint Joseph Wilson's lies "because he was the best person to know," the Post-Dispatch did some serious and critical reporting on a former Marine staff sergeant who is going […]

The problem with journalism

Well, there's more than one, but today we're going to look at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The P-I as it's known in Washington State, recently ran an article where it uncritically repeated Joseph Wilson's lie that he "found nothing" on his visit to Niger. When challenged on their failure to report on Wilson critically, the P-I […]

Unsurprised

Democrats have decided to attempt to elevate Joseph Wilson, liar, to sainthood by invoking a closed session on pre-war intelligence. According to news reports, the Senate hasn't met in closed session in 25 years and, as further evidence of the divisions on Capitol Hill, Senate minority leader Harry Reid didn't notify his GOP counterpart, Sen. […]

The media's failure(s)

The mainstream media is lying about Nadagate and it knows it. Some could argue that it is incompetence, but I'm going to go with lying. Today's Exhibit A is Fox News pundit and NPR "reporter" Juan Williams. During the roundtable discussion on "Fox News Sunday," Brit Hume again tried -- and failed -- to educate […]

Being a Senator means being able to have it both ways

From James' Taranto's "Best of the Web Today" over at OpinionJournal.com, we have these gems from the same speech by Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. "When they [the Bush administration] could have listened to General Shinseki and put in enough troops to maintain order, they chose not to. They were wrong." "General George Casey, our top […]
