I was lucky enough to be able to catch most of President Bush's press conference last night. He did an acceptable job; he'll never be mistaken for Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton when it comes to public speaking. you can find a transcript of the press conference here. I was disappointed that Bush didn't answer […]
...and water's for fighting over. When I read this, I found it strangely refreshing. Local water officials voted yesterday to appeal to the state Supreme Court regarding litigation aimed at protecting the region's water supply during a crisis. The case filed by the San Diego County Water Authority focuses on the method used by the […]
No one said this would be easy, but it's better that these thugs, both Shia and Sunni, get this out of their system (i.e. dead) sooner rather than later. For Iraq to become a functioning Democracy, the people need to learn that voting and violence are not the same thing. Those who cannot be dissuaded, […]
I got up this morning in plenty of time to head down to Memorial Park in the Logan Heights neighborhood of San Diego to join Lt. Smash's counter-protest. Between 15 and 20 people showed up to support the troops, including myself, and fellow bloggers Bryon Scott and Breaker of Right on the Left Beach who […]

A certain Hoystory reader who shall remain named my father, has, in seeming defense of John "Flipper" Kerry, asked if there are any issues on which President Bush has flip-flopped. The answer, of course, is yes -- probably most notably the imposition of those horrible steel tariffs. But there are many issues on which Bush […]
Last week the Bush administration put out some positive ads which included brief glimpses of ground zero and 9/11. Unsurprisingly, some families of 9/11 victims screamed bloody murder at President Bush using images "for political gain." Well, it turns out that these individuals were part of a coordinated campaign by a liberal anti-war group. It […]
This isn't from the conservative Media Research Center (though I've never heard it charged that they fudge their data -- really, there's no need), so maybe Eric Alterman will consider MediaChannel.org's finding that the three major networks have been bashing President Bush and cheerleading for Sen. John "Flipper" Kerry. Mainstream news organizations may "filter" the […]
