Both Republican and Democrat administrations in the decades before Sept. 11, 2001, have been criticized for viewing Islamic terrorism -- from the Iranian hostage-taking to the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon to the USS Cole attack -- as a law enforcement issue. When government officials talked about "bringing people to justice," they meant trying them […]
You can find today's cartoon here. Maybe someone should offer the Alanta Journal-Constitution's cartoonist his choice of a week's stay in Gitmo, or five hours with al Qaeda in Iraq.
ABC News is asking Joe Public to send them anecdotal "evidence" of global warming. This is even more hilarious than Al Gore's famous speech on global warming delivered in New York City on one of the coldest days ever on record, because what ABC News is really asking for is for evidence of warm weather, […]
Well, you're a Hoystory reader, so you probably can. But it's becoming readily apparent that there's a significant portion of the moonbat left that simply cannot. I've been beating on the liberal Web site truthout.org for nearly a month now (see here, here and here) after they falsely reported that White House advisor had been […]
I spent the afternoon with the family and treated everyone to a lunch at the Prado in Balboa Park. The meal was excellent and was definitely a step above the typical fare that the Hoy clan consumes. After returning to my parents' casa, we watched the local news, which reminded me of why I never […]

The Times editorial page is perhaps the most dishonest of any in the nation. I've pointed out before how […]
A couple of weeks back Sen. John Kerry did a softball interview in the New York Times about his efforts to resuscitate his hopes for running for president again in 2008. Kerry has decided that a year and a half after he lost the November 2004 election is the time to stand up to charges […]
At least, that's what you'd have to believe if you read Monday's New York Times editorial on the three suicides at the terrorist prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto takes a whack at a portion of the Times editorial. The Times editorial page bemoans the plight of these poor innocent terrorists: [Their suicides […]
If you've been reading this blog for some time, then you know that I'm of the opinion that it's better for journalism in the long run to finally acknowledge that reporters -- like everyone else on the face of the earth -- are biased and allow the public to take that into account when reading […]
