Over at the Logic Times they have an analysis of the infamous Iraq Body Count numbers in light of the demographics of Iraq. Cutting to the chase -- the analysis shows that only approximately 948 civilians have been killed by coalition troops since the end of major combat operations -- not the 100,000 number promoted […]
You've got one from columnist Charles Krauthammer, and another from law professor David Luban. Luban's is little more than a treatise against the U.S. government using any sort of physical, emotional or mental distress against terrorists plotting to attack the U.S. Krauthammer, on the other hand, does an excellent job of laying out all of […]
Answer: Democrats. For the past several weeks the Democrats in Congress have been peddling the "Bush lied, people died" slander and calling for the immediate (and irresponsible) pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. The other day, Vietnam War vet and Democrat congressman John Murtha called for the "immediate" pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. Murtha […]
Over at SoundPolitics.com, Stefan Sharkansky has some interesting photos on how voter intent is divined in Democrat-controlled King County, Washington.

One thing is obvious: Gov. Schwarzenegger doesn't have the pull he used to have. The Governator's reform agenda -- embodied in Propositions 74-77 -- all went down in flames. In fact, every proposition in the state failed. The one with the closest margin of any issue on the ballot was the parental notification (not consent) […]
Tomorrow is election day here in California, and if you've already turned in your ballot by absentee you can go ahead and vote again -- especially if you happen to live in King County, Wash. On a more serious note: Voting is a test. If your answers don't match mine then you're wrong -- that's […]
I must confess that I'm a little bit mystified why Democrats are so concerned about who President Bush's political staff are. New York Sen. Chuck Schumer was on "Fox News Sunday" this morning urging the president to fire Karl Rove and others so that he could "move forward." This is a new side to Chuck […]
