Degrading the language: On Foxnews this morning, a former Enron employee/investor claimed that she was a victim of "corporate terrorism." Let's reserve the use of the term terrorism for acts that physically maim or kill people. Tacking terrorism onto the Enron failure is silly. Also, let's please not use Enron as a verb.
In an op-ed piece in the New York Post, the American Enterprise Institute's John R. Lott takes aim at the major media and their treatment of guns. At last week's shooting at the Appalachian Law School, the shooter was subdued by students after killing the dean of the law school and two other people. What […]
It's a little bit like deciding whether or not to give your kid sister a ride to the movies. I mean, you're going to go anyway, but do you really want to have that annoying, whining little brat with you? Well, the U.S. has the same problem. The kid sister is Canada, and the movies […]
Well, it's been called the Anti-Christian Liberal Union, but the ACLU had really outdone itself this time. Foxnews reported on its Web site earlier this week that the ACLU has said it would file a lawsuit against the mayor of Inglis, Fla. (population 1,400) if a proclamation banning Satan from the town limits isn't removed […]
Good news on a story I told you about earlier. The Pentagon has finally relented on its silly dress code for women troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. Seven years after the Air Force's top-ranked female fighter pilot began a one-woman crusade, the Defense Department yesterday dropped its requirement that female military personnel in Saudi Arabia […]
I'm listening to my recording of Alan Keyes new show. It's not the greatest, but it certainly shows promise. As I've said before, Keyes is probably one of the best speakers in America today. I must admit that I was amused by Keyes segment tonight where he talks with "ordinary people, just like you." He […]
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday, USA Today ran a half-page article highlighting the fact that there is currently not a single black or hispanic governor or senator. CNN's Jeff Greenfield followed on Tuesday night with the following: 1982, Tom Bradley running for governor of California. Ahead in the polls on election day, […]
In today's "Best of the Web Today" at the Wall Street Journal's Web site reports that my least favorite attorney, Alan Dershowitz, has come out for allowing the torture of terror suspects. In an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle, Dershowitz proposes: The suspect would be given immunity from prosecution based on information elicited by […]
It didn't take long, The New York Times has come out with the curious conclusion that the Enron debacle will provide a new impetus for the passage of campaign-finance reform. Thankfully, this wouldn't be the first time that the Times' page was wrong. First off, let's recount what happened. As Moody's was pondering whether or […]
There's reports out that we may have bugged a plane intended for use by Chinese President Jiang Zemin. I'm going to echo the statement made by Wall Street Journal columnist Tunku Varadarajan: "I'm glad our spooks are doing their job. And I hope that those 27 bugs were the ones the Chinese were meant to […]
