The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof discovered that liberals are generally less generous than their conservative counterparts. This holiday season is a time to examine who’s been naughty and who’s been nice, but I’m unhappy with my findings. The problem is this: We liberals are personally stingy. Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous […]

President Bush announced Friday that he would be making $13.4 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to bailout General Motors and Chrysler. During brief remarks at the White House, President Bush said in normal times he would have not been in favor of preventing a bankruptcy of the two companies. But the current state […]

I mentioned the lefty blogosphere's outrage at the invitation Pastor Rick Warren received from Barack Obama to give the invocation at Obama's inauguration. But it wasn't just the lefty blogosphere, the Christian left also decided to weigh in. Courtesy of Christopher Johnson over at the Midwest Conservative Journal, we have Episcopal Bishop John Chane. I […]

President-elect Barack Obama has announced that he has asked Fred Phelps to give the invocation at the presidential inauguration Jan. 20. The left side of the blogosphere -- the Obamaniacs who got him elected -- are apoplectic. Wait a second. It appears I got the name wrong. No, Obama invited Rick Warren, author of the […]

Buried on page A32 of today's New York Times (according to Tom Maguire) is word that the generals President Bush put in charge of winning the war in Iraq won't be taking Barack Obama's 16-month withdrawal timetable as gospel -- and Obama's apparently OK with that.

The Washington Post would rather you not say anything at all. Some advertising types at the Post came up with a good idea for making the paper some money -- something I enthusiastically approve of -- sell classified ads in a special Jan. 20 Inauguration Day issue of the paper. For $5 a line with […]

It is really no surprise that President-elect Barack Obama would pick the schools chief from his hometown, Arne Davis, to be education secretary in his administration. Obama would've certainly come to know Davis during his time heading the failed Chicago Annenberg Challenge -- a fact that seems absent from most of today's news reporting. (You […]

Sen. Barack Obama's denial last week that neither he nor his campaign had had any discussions with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has changed. Reminiscent of Al Gore's "no controlling legal authority" line comes word that Obama's campaign did talk with Balgojevich, but there were "no inappropriate discussions." The exact nature of the discussions will have […]

Al "The Goracle" Gore has made a prediction, and I'm willing to bet everything I own (which, sadly, in this economy isn't much) that Gore is wrong. Entire north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 years. Is the man a liar or a fool? Or both? On a related note, the Associated Press […]

The current issue of Newsweek magazine has a cover article making the case that the Bible says gay marriage is OK. In fact, if you read religion editor Lisa Miller's piece, you would get the impression that gay marriage may actually be the God-preferred marriage. Let's try for a minute to take the religious conservatives […]
