A new poll out yesterday claims that if a presidential election were held right now, President Bush would lose to "the Democratic candidate." There's just one problem with this entire formulation -- everyone imagines the "perfect Democrat." That individual looks a little different to each person in that 55 percent and there's no way the […]
National Review's Stephen Spruiell is making an effort to get the mainstream media to tell the truth about what discredited liar Joseph Wilson IV actually said and the truth. Why do you and many other reporters persist in using the following stock description Joseph Wilson: Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former ambassador who became a […]
The Times also takes the U.N. to task for the sexual abuse of local populations by U.N. peacekeepers. Maybe the Times should have had this issue in mind when Democrats were attempting to stymie the nomination of John Bolton to be the United States ambassador to the U.N.

There's been some buzz hither and yon about Washington Post columnist George F. Will's column due out this Sunday. It's strictly embargoed, so I can't link to it or post it just yet, but it's a devastating critique of the Harriet Miers nomination. I won't attempt to steal Will's thunder, but he did make one […]
Of course, pro-choice is just a euphemism for pro-abortion, so it should come as no surprise that San Francisco Chronicle columnist Mark Morford is outraged at the choice an Arkansas couple has made to have 16 children. Memo to Morford: It's a free country -- I'm not opposed to this sort of thing as long […]
The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg is probably the best technology writer in the country. He writes in a fashion that is accessible to those with little interest all the intricacies of most gadgets, yet still informative. Mossberg has a column in Thursday's Journal that makes an excellent case that the media companies have gone […]
