Once America's most prestigious paper, The New York Times continues to go down the tubes. Today's column by Frank Rich would be acceptable, if questionable, journalism had it been published on or before July 6, 2004. Today, it's just a big correction waiting to happen -- that is, if editorial page editor Gail Collins had […]
It never takes long for this libel to take flight: "The Jews knew about the London attacks before they happened." John Cole and Jeff Goldstein respond (see Update 16). Also peddling hatred and stupidity today were Al Franken and The Boston Globe's Tom Oliphant. My favorite bit: Franken: This is where I am going to […]
So, a psycho Canadian comes to the U.S. and customs officials find a homemade sword, brass knuckles, a hatchet and an apparently blood-stained chainsaw. I say "apparently" because customs officials didn't figure that this guy was worrisome enough to hold on to. They confiscated his weapons and told him to have fun in the United […]
Nicholas Kristof is often misguided, but he is not often as blatantly dishonest as he is in Tuesday's column. Here's a foreign affairs quiz: (1) How many nuclear weapons did North Korea produce in Bill Clinton's eight years of office? (2) How many nuclear weapons has it produced so far in President Bush's four years […]
The TSA has decided to finally close a huge loophole on its no-fly list, and that's got various Europeans, Mexicans and Canadians up in arms. Before, the no-fly list only applied to certain individuals taking off or landing at American airports. Now the TSA wants to apply the lists for flights that only overfly the […]
Don't count Senators being able to keep a secret, especially when they know they shouldn't be telling it on national TV. Mr. Smith came to Washington again Monday, as an alias for a Central Intelligence Agency officer who works covertly. Senators, however, may have blown his cover. During questioning on John R. Bolton's nomination to […]
According to Newsweek's Michael Isikoff, in an interview on Fox News' "Special Report," the President Clinton's bumbling National Security Adviser Sandy Berger did not destroy any unique documents as a result of his pilferage. Berger only had access to copies -- though Isikoff noted that it was unclear that Berger was aware they were only […]
Clinton administration national security adviser Sandy Berger will plead guilty to a misdemeanor for taking classified documents out of the National Archives in his pants. Good. However, I think if some analyst or middle-manager at the CIA had done the exact same thing, they'd be facing a felony. The articles don't quote any experts on […]
Former President Bill Clinton's 1994 Agreed Framework with North Korea, negotiated by Jimmy "see-no-evil" Carter and lauded by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has brought us to this: North Korea says it has nukes and the rest of the world can pound sand. This is what happens when you don't take foreign policy seriously […]
I'm trying to watch as little of the Democrat Convention as I possibly can. Frankly, I can't stand a half hour of Sen. Ted "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it" Kennedy. It's better for my anger-management program if I just read the transcripts a little bit at a time. OpinionJournal.com's James […]
