Sixty years ago this weekend, the United States dropped the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan. I must confess that I've little sympathy for the ignorant peace protesters who come out every year to demand unilateral nuclear disarmament. Sixty years after the fact, too many just don't get it, and the ones that do -- […]
If the rules allowed it, SoundPolitics.com's Stefan Sharkansky would receive the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Sharkansky is no Hemingway, but he alone has done more to expose the disaster that is the King County (Washington) elections department than the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Seattle Times combined. In addition to doing extensive research on voterless ballots, […]
If this is accurate -- and Drudge is famously hit-or-miss on these sorts of things -- then I don't think I'll ever need anything more ever again to prove that the New York Times' political coverage is indiscernable from a propaganda rag. Seriously, checking out Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' adopted children is part of […]

You know, if you were a Kool-Aid drinker, then you'd think that this never happened before. You know, when Democrats controlled the Congress. That's why there's so few things named after Democrat Sen. Robert C. Byrd.
In the classic golf movie "Tin Cup," Don Johnson plays pro golfer David Simms who is described as hating old people, kids and dogs. Well, today there's a lot of news that demonstrates that the American left, while it does its best to look soft and cuddly on the outside, really hates Alzheimer's patients, needy […]
The Senate on Tuesday voted to allow Boy Scouts access to U.S. military bases -- a move prompted by the ACLU's crusade against the organization for being insufficiently PC. In a 98-0 vote, the Senate approved the provision continuing the hosting of Boy Scout events as part of massive bill setting Defense Department policy for […]
The results of yesterday's election are in and Councilwoman Donna Frye will likely lose to former police chief Jerry Sanders in November. San Diego is a Republican town, and Frye was the only Democrat running -- it's unlikely that third-place finisher Steve Francis' supporters will go to Frye.
