Not buying it: Contributing to the crusade to tell everyone what they can and cannot do with their personal computers, Internet research company Viant says that between 400,000 and 600,000 pirated feature films are downloaded every day. I don't think so. According to figures from September 2001, 54 percent of Americans surfed the Web in […]

I've got to head off to work, but I will try to get comments back up and working tonight. *UPDATE* I did a quick check and found out the fix was rather simple, so comments are available […]

Reading Comprehension 101: The New York Times Paul Krugman is probably my favorite foil. He is a very intelligent man, but is also, oftentimes, very unwise. But this isn't about Krugman. This is about some of his defenders -- Krugmanites. Now, not all Krugmanites suffer from this disability, but last week's Krugman piece brought two […]

What's scarier than Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin wrapped up into one? Well, if you're a liberal, Attorney General John Ashcroft is much, much scarier. I'm ashamed I didn't catch it earlier, but last week San Diego Union-Tribune columnist James Goldsborough takes his turn at liberals' favorite whipping boy. In […]

Barone hits a home run: U.S. News & World Report columnist Michael Barone points out that the Saudis are not friends to America, but enemies.

National Review Online's Jay Nordlinger makes an excellent observation in today's Impromptus column. You have heard what George W. Bush said about Cuba (for a refresher, go here).
