Editorially, the San Diego Union-Tribune is moderate-to-right on the political spectrum. Those offices are on the fourth floor. On the third floor is the newsroom. The newsroom is largely left-to-very-left. So, I was only moderately surprised when I walked by and heard an editor opining on Ronald Reagan's legacy and state that the reporting ignored […]
Steyn has a short piece on Ronald Reagan, and this encounter sums up the 40th president aptly: One man who understood was Yakob Ravin, a Ukrainian émigré who in the summer of 1997 happened to be strolling with his grandson in Armand Hammer Park near Reagan’s California home. They happened to see the former President, […]
For those of you in San Diego, I encourage you to pick up a copy of today's Union-Tribune -- there's a special commemorative section on Reagan and a long retrospective. Ronald Reagan was the first president that I was really conscious of; I was 8-years-old when he took office. A good friend of mine in […]
I'm not sure I'll ever watch another Lethal Weapon movie again. Castro-loving actor/activist Danny Glover said the following today at an anti-war rally in Los Angeles.

President Bush took a header on his mountain bike yesterday. This is not uncommon for mountain bikers, who seek out rough, uneven and downright scary terrain. However, if what Matt Drudge is reporting is accurate, then the Bush-hatred in the Democrat Party has reached the very top. President fell off bike today... Kerry told reporters […]
The Senate last week narrowly turned back an effort to further extend unemployment benefits. The required 60-vote threshold was not quite met as the final vote came in at 59-40. There are 100 senators. One did not vote. His name is John Kerry. He was out campaigning for president, instead of doing the job he […]
I'm not someone who thinks that Bush has done a perfect job as president -- I just don't think that any of his detractors would do a better job. However, columnist Mark Steyn has a valid criticism: The administration, in trying to see its way through both the phony crossfire and the real one, has […]
