If the editorial writers at the New York Times have heard of the Laffer Curve, then it's obvious they want to forget it. In a typically lame editorial today, the Times encourages Congress to let the Bush tax cuts expire in order to bring the economy to a screeching halt erase the budget deficit. Oh, […]
I watched a bit of network news this evening which once again reinforces why I try never to watch network news. I'm pretty sure I was watching ABC when they did a little story on the perjury and obstruction of justice trial of former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, I. Lewis "Scooter" […]
Yes, I'm back to referencing the movie "Sneakers." In that film, Setec Astronomy was discovered to be an anagram of "Too Many Secrets." If it wasn't apparent before, the New York Times is of the opinion that the U.S. government doesn't deserve to have any secrets when it comes to national security. The Bush administration […]
I managed to watch all of about a minute of the Jimmy Carter mutual admiration society weekend on CSPAN before I had to turn the channel. There was the sanctimonious moron who is Jimmy Carter decrying the "unreasonable fear" (not his exact words) of Americans in the wake of 9/11. Yes, Carter begs us, ignore […]
I thought we had beat this out of them, but I was wrong. Lawmakers demanded more information on new rules for governing a domestic surveillance program on Thursday, a day after the Bush administration announced that it had placed the National Security Agency eavesdropping under court supervision. [emphasis added] The English language according to the […]
The New York Times is at it again. It's an axiom that 95 percent of statistics can be used to prove 100 percent of anything, and that's what the Times did the other day in it's article proclaiming a new day for women on the Upper West Side: "51% of Women Are Now Living Without […]
Via Instapundit comes this bit of falsehood in an Associated Press story. The United States is no longer bound by Kyoto, which the Bush administration rejected after taking office in 2001. For the record, the United States was never bound by Kyoto because the Clinton administration never sent it to the Senate for ratification after […]
You don't have to read past the first sentence of this New York Times editorial to know that the rest is bunk. The tax system in the United States is supposed to mitigate inequality. A civics refresher course for the Times editors on the 16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect […]
This should be the lead story on all of the television networks tonight, but it won't be. President Bush Presents Medal of Honor to Corporal Jason Dunham The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor a President can bestow. The Medal is given for gallantry in the face of an enemy attack that […]
It appears we've finally gotten to the bottom of the mysterious case of the Associated Press' Iraqi Police Capt. Jamail Hussein. In short, the AP foisted off a pseudonym on the public without informing anyone, in violation of basic journalistic standards. Journalism. Wound. Self-inflicted.
