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 […]
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 […]
National Review's Rich Lowry echoes a point that's been made many times before but never seems to sink in. Two reporters, one from Time magazine and another from the New York Times are facing contempt of court charges for failing to reveal a source for a "crime" that likely never occurred. An axiom for defense […]
It's hasn't seen much use since 2000, but it's time to dust it off and post it again. Forty-three Democrats in the Senate and that pesky former-Republican/turncoat have put their names to a letter demanding that President George W. Bush stop picking on Harry Reid.

It's a hell of a hoot," Mattis said, prompting laughter from some military members in the audience. "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll […]
You can find the transcript here. Video of it is available here. I've got the video running in another window right now, and for the most part I think the speech is pretty good. President Bush spent a lot of time on Social Security reform. This speech was probably the best time to really get […]
Unfortunately, I didn't set my DVR to record the president's State of the Union address. I did, however, get home in time to watch the replay of the Democrats' response. *YAWN* I'm not usually one to criticize other peoples' appearance, but Rep. Nancy Pelosi scares the bejeezus out of me. Has she had a botox […]
Devon in Searchlight, Nev., I understand from Sen. Harry Reid that you want to be just like him when you grow up. Devon, you're a dork.
There shouldn't really be any doubt about it, but Democrats don't care about the integrity of the voting system. More votes is always better than less -- even if you end up counting illegal votes.
