Henry Reynolds is a Los Angeles attorney who bought the domain "imwithfred2008." That site, minus the 2008, is the official site of maybe GOP candidate Fred Thompson. Reynolds set up his fake site as a KKK fan site. Unfortunately, Reynolds isn't that bright when it comes to the Internet, and failed to cover his tracks.
The Club for Growth has posted an interesting pork scorecard. Certain Republicans (and one Democrat) would do well to promote its findings. Sixteen congressmen scored a perfect 100%, voting for all 50 anti-pork amendments. They are all Republicans. The average Republican score was 43%. The average Democratic score was 2%. The average score for appropriators […]
The New Republic's "Baghdad Diarist" revealed himself this morning. He's Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp. The fact that his pseudonym was "Scott Thomas" meant that he wasn't really interested in keeping his identity secret.

I also menitoned an Orange County Register investigation that found at least 165,000 killed in communist Vietnam's "reeducation" camps. Today, James Taranto provides some more details from that Register investigation. […]
You can cut the hypocrisy with knife. Ms Clinton, a frontrunner in the Democratic race for the presidency, said she was incensed by the move. "What we saw today was elevating cronyism over the rule of law. And what we saw today was further evidence that this administration has no regard whatsoever for what needs […]
CNN has been putting their summer interns to good use. This week, the interns' assignment was to contact all 100 U.S. Senators and ask for a list of their earmark requests. It should come as no surprise that all those politicians promising a more open government are full of sh hot air. Only six senators […]
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who became a Republican back in 2001 in order to avoid a crowded primary field on the Democrat side in his run for mayor, yesterday announced that he was quitting the GOP.
