On timing

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 […]

No bias here

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.

Democrats hate sick people

I know that's an inflammatory headline, but yesterday Senate Democrats decided to hold hostage a bill that passed the House by a vote of 431-1. The bill would create a federal program to store umbilical cords -- which are typically thrown away -- that can be used to successfully treat all sorts of diseases. Why […]

You gotta be kidding me

Yesterday, during an interview with Fox News' Brit Hume, President Bush offered the opinion that he believed Texas Congressman Tom DeLay was innocent of the money laundering charges he is faced with in Travis County, Texas. Now the Democrats have voiced their outrage -- and it makes Page A4 of the Washington Post. Democratic leaders […]

Partisan vs. Principled

I've made this point repeatedly regarding the New York Times editorial page, but it applies to many other newspaper editorialists -- they are partisan, not principled. For the past couple years this has produced hypocrisy on the issue of judicial filibusters. Both the Times and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune -- among others -- have exposed themselves […]

Why Oregon sucks

I'm not talking about the football team, I'm talking about the state. I must confess that I haven't spent much time in the state. I lived in Aberdeen, Wash., for nearly two years, and I flew out of the Portland Airport a couple of times. I passed through the state on my way to that […]

Gerrymandering

I long for competitive Congressional elections in this country. Unfortunately, after the 2000 census in California, the Republicans and Democrats got together in a corrupt bargain and made sure to create districts which were "safe" for each party -- cementing Democrat control of the state for the next decade and making it difficult/impossible for moderate […]

Citizen legislators?

Way back when, "politician" wasn't a career choice -- it was something that you did for a short period of time in between real, productive jobs. Of course, for at least the last century, it has become a career for many -- including anyone named "Kennedy." However, there are still a few who hold on […]

Laws in the Washington State

You'll have to forgive me for consistently returning to the mess that is the elections department in King County, Washington. It's not that I expect Gov. Christine Gregoire to feel a sudden onset of remorse, knowing that officials in the state's most populous county broke numerous election laws to ensure her narrow victory. The 2004 […]

Cunningham's replacement

In the coming weeks/months we're going to have a special election here in California's 50th Congressional District for someone to replace convicted felon Randy "Brother can you spare a Rolls Royce" Cunningham. Some of the more ignorant on the left end of the political spectrum believe that this is an excellent chance for Democrats to […]
