If you missed Andrew McCarthy's piece yesterday at National Review Online and reporter Byron York's piece today, then you really ought to check them out. The picture painted by the two articles is one of the House as an institution believing it is above the law. McCarthy points out that the House can either Impeach […]
Today's editorial in The New York Times on Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's free boxing tickets (one of which was valued at $1,400) manages to allude to a "culture of corruption" that includes only Republicans. This doesn't prove Mr. Reid wrong, but it does illustrate the power of the Caesar's wife rule these days as […]
I caught the Fox News report on Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing and I must confess that it tested my self control. You knew you weren't going to get any semblance of balance when the hearing is entitled "RECKLESS JUSTICE: Did the Saturday Night Raid of Congress Trample the Constitution?" Seriously, why even use a […]
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, FBI Director Robert Mueller and some undetermined number of senior justice department officials have threatened to resign if President Bush is fool enough to return the documents seized in the search of Louisiana Democrat William Jefferson's Capitol Hill office. Good. Somebody gets it.
For the June 6 Special Election for California's 50th Congressional District (disgraced Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's old seat), Hoystory reluctantly endorses Democrat Francine Busby. Today was the final straw. House Speaker Dennis Hastert's outrage at the FBI search of Rep. William Jefferson's office wasn't bad enough, but now President Bush has ordered all documents seized […]
Last week, during debate on the Senate floor on various amendments to the wide-ranging immigration bill, Sen. Harry Reid said that anyone who approved of making English the national language was "racist." This is the same senator who has lied about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' writing abilities in a way that could easily be […]
I read this story because the FARK headline read: "7-year-old boy will attend school as a girl, will be allowed to use the girls' bathrooms and changing facilities, and to wear girls PE clothes. He either has a gender identity disorder or is a friggin' genius" You'll have to forgive me for being dumbfounded at […]
Columnist Mark Steyn has an excellent piece on what will be required to stop the killing in Darfur -- and it's not something that the liberals will like. Here's the lesson of the past three years: The UN kills. In 2003, you'll recall, the US was reviled as a unilateralist cowboy because it and its […]
Today's Union-Tribune has an article on 53-year-old Air Force veteran David Patterson who has sent his medals back to President George W. Bush to protest the war in Iraq. Mailing them via the USPS doesn't have the drama of "pulling a Kerry" -- tossing someone else's medals over the White House fence -- but it's […]
With all of the uproar over high gas prices and the navel-gazing going on about the "bigger picture," why hasn't some Democrat politician from the Northeast suggested suspending all NASCAR series races?
