Retreat from partisanship

The Wall Street Journal has perhaps the nation's most conservative editorial page. Note that I use the term "conservative" and not "Republican." The Journal's editorial page is a principaled one, not a partisan one -- it often opposes actions by Republicans that betray conservative values, e.g. steel tariffs, overspending. The New York Times editiorial page, […]

Fund on "federal intervention"

John Fund has a piece in today's Wall Street Journal on the left's selective outrage at the idea of the federal branch of government involving itself in state family court matters. As I mentioned last week, the Clinton administration did something cloaked in the flimsiest color of law -- and the republic survived. Respect for […]

Maybe Bill Clinton was right

Overshadowed by the Eason Jordan slander of the American military at the Davos conference was statements made by former President Bill Clinton on Iran's "democracy." “Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections, […]

Reversing course

Now that it looks like some reporters may face jail time at the hands of an overzealous prosecutor (originally egged on by various newspapers), journalists are now considering that a crime may never have occurred in the Joseph Wilson/Valerie Plame expose. The 40-page brief, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of […]

Schiavo "debate"

Because I suffer from periodic bouts of self-destructive behavior, I'm watching the House "debate" on the Schiavo bill on the CSPAN. Let me just say that I'm jaw-droppingly unimpressed with many of our elected representatives. I've often referred to my own senator, Barbara Boxer, as the least-intelligent member of the Senate (challenged occasionally for the […]

This'll be interesting

I'm going to be really interested to see what the reaction from the left side of the blogosphere is when this gets around. (via VikingPundit) Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President […]

An ANWR observation

It looks like a small part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will be opened for oil drilling when the budget is passed. I watched video of Democratic opponents of the move complain that there wouldn't be nearly enough oil produced to make any dent in gasoline prices or our dependence on foreign oil. Comically, […]

"The American people have figured it out"

Justice Antonin Scalia gave a talk earlier this week at the Woodrow Wilson Center on the less-than-sexy topic of "Constitutional Interpretation." Most media outlets zeroed in on Scalia's blistering attack on the Court's recent decision abolishing the juvenile death penalty. However, Scalia's comments on the current state of judicial confirmations was much more interesting with […]

Why am I not surprised?

Texas Sen. John Cornyn has a letter to the editor in today's New York Times that exposes that the editorial page's opposition to changing the filibuster rule all depends on who is trying to do it. To the Editor: "The Senate on the Brink" (editorial, March 6) supports the "historic role of the filibuster," which […]

Byrd's Nazis

The media today started to pick up on Sen. Robert Byrd's GOP=Nazis comment after Jewish groups denounced him. Byrd's response? Not apology, but denial. Sen. Robert Byrd's description of Adolf Hitler's rise to power was meant as a warning to heed the past and not as a comparison to Republicans, a spokesman for the West […]
