Make lemonade! NARAL's Goal: "To Convince Enough Senators That Alito Is Wrong For Our Country, We Are Setting A Goal Of Gathering 500,000 Petition Signatures To Deliver To The Senate." (NARAL Email, "Just 5 Days Left!" 12/5/05) NARAL's Result: "With The Help Of More Than 50 Volunteers We Were Able To ... Enter 2,000 Signatures […]
If you haven't seen it yet, you should read this piece over at National Review on what Sen. Chuck "Credit Report" Schumer has to say about under what circumstances nominees to the Supreme Court have to answer more question. If you guessed that Republican nominees have to answer more than Democrats, you're right!
From Barone's blog: These Democrats have, at best, lost the capacity to distinguish between opponents of the president who wish the best for America and opponents of the president who don't. Yes, E. J., "we have arrived at a dangerous time." And, no, I wouldn't use and haven't used the word "traitor" or the word […]
Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty Tuesday to three felony counts of fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion. He could be sentenced for up to 11 years in federal prison. I hope that the public officials that participated in his schemes -- both Republican and Democrat -- end up spending quality time with him in the […]
On Friday, the editor of the Bedford Standard-Times -- the newspaper that was hoaxed by a college student claiming that Homeland Security agents had interviewed him after he tried to check out Mao's "Little Red Book" -- wrote an informative column explaining how it all happened.

Ever since the New York Times decided that they wouldn't get scooped by their own reporter and that in their enlightened judgement revealing a classified surveillance program wouldn't hurt U.S. national security, Sen. Barbara Boxer (Dumb-Calif.) has been crying "impeachment" to anyone who will listen. Well, I predicted it and now we've got a poll […]
A couple of weeks ago, the New Bedford (Mass.) Standard Times published a story about Homeland Security agents visiting a 22-year-old UMass-Dartmouth student after he checked out Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book". All of the horror of Big Brother reared its head and the news briefly sobered up the senior senator from Massachusetts enough that […]
I just got finished watching this week's "Fox News Watch" and loony liberal Neil Gabler and American University prof Jane Hall both saw nefarious pro-conservative intent in the New York Times' decision to hold the story of President Bush's surveillance of al Qaeda operatives/affiliates inside the U.S. during the 2004 election. They may very well […]
Editor & Publisher magazine -- the magazine of the newspaper industry -- doesn't even try to hide the bias of its editor Greg Mitchell. Headline: 'Impeachment' Talk, Pro and Con, Appears in Media at Last I've got no idea why impeachment is in quotes. Bad bias. Bad grammar.
