Unlike The New York Times' decision to charge $50 a year for access to their editorial page and columnists, The Wall Street Journal's Internet subscription is woth every dime for pieces like this one. Before Sept. 11, 2001, when federal law-enforcement officials asked FedEx Corp. for help, the company had its limits. It wouldn't provide […]
Several months back I mentioned a story about a group of Syrian "musicians" who were behaving a lot like hijackers. Well, there's an update on the story here, which includes this little gem. The first thing I clarified for the agents was that, prior to my experience on flight 327, I had never heard of […]
The pro-dictator/commies at Code Pink started their three day march against the war yesterday from Oceanside to San Diego. They managed to get two dozen marchers. (Reports I heard only put the number at 12 -- either way, it's wholly unimpressive.) The quotes, however are priceless. They like to claim that they are members of […]
When I was staying home from work sick earlier this week (I'm still a little under the weather, but I'm doing better. Thanks for asking.), I took the opportunity to flip over to CBS in time to watch Dan Rather's send off. After watching it, I'm confident that I definitely have "courage." Rather's closing statement […]
If you're not up-to-date on the case of Giuliana Sgrena of Italy's communist newspaper Il Manifesto, I encourage you to head over to Little Green Footballs and just keep scrolling. There's two pertinent facts everyone should keep in mind about this story are: First, the Italian government paid approximately $10 million in ransom to get […]
Lawyer Lynne Stewart, who was convicted of numerous terrorism-related charges is quickly becoming a cause celebre among leftists terror-supporters. The National Lawyers Guild -- a bunch of America-hating lawyers -- is sponsoring a "National Day of Outrage" Thursday. We will use this national Day of Outrage to both express our condemnation of the Lynne Stewart […]
"Civil rights" attorney Lynne Stewart has been convicted of giving "material support to terrorists" among other assorted charges. Stewart was the lawyer for the blind sheik convicted of plotting to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, among other things. But she also testified that she believed violence was sometimes necessary to achieve justice: "To rid ourselves […]
Colorado University professor Ward Churchill is an amoral, evil, piece of scum. (For a background on who he is and why I characterize him that way, go here.) Churchill will not, it turns out, be speaking at Hamilton College, because he's received death threats. That is wrong. However, he has also received some nasty e-mails […]
I finally got around to watching Sen. John Kerry's appearance on Sunday's "Meet the Press." I think NBC's decision to interview Kerry and not some Middle East policy expert on the day of the Iraqi elections was odd. You can find a transcript of the interview here. Lots of bloggers have flogged Kerry over many […]
Watching the confirmation hearing for Condolezza Rice and I must confess that Chris Dodd, friend to Latin American tyrants and fascists, needs to be hit with a clue-by-four. Dodd's suggestion that we need to give al Qaeda terrorists Geneva Convention protections is the worst sort of idiocy. *sarcasm* No, we don't want to make al […]
