Do politicians -- even ex-politicians -- every really listen or understand the words that are coming out of their mouths. Yesterday on "Fox News Sunday," former Sen. Tom Daschle, the national co-chair of the Barack Obama campaign, had the following to say. This is a man who understands when you go to an emergency room […]

The Union-Tribune's bi-monthly book sale for charity netted me former CBS newsman Bernard Goldberg's latest book "Crazies to the left of me; Wimps to the right" in paperback. The book is a quick, breezy read, that basically lays out Goldberg's personal politics and beliefs. Republicans, and even Joe Lieberman-style Democrats will find much to agree […]

You know the Democrats have gone way out on a limb when The New York Times editorial page says the Democratic Congress should approve the Colombian free trade agreement. Predictably, however, the Times puts the blame for Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rewriting of the rules equally on the Democrats and President Bush. Well, you can't have […]

Al Gore gave an update of his bogus "Inconvenient Truth" slideshow presentation at the close of the RSA computer security conference today -- on the condition that the press not be allowed in.

Of course, you would be wrong. The U.S. has one really good ally in South America, […]

Michael A. Monsoor was awarded the Medal of Honor, posthumously, today by President George W. Bush.

Barack Obama told some people at a San Francisco fund-raiser who he's looking for in a running mate. "I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not as expert on," he said, and then he was off and running. "I think a lot of people assume that might be some […]

I mentioned earlier this week that Obama supporters have said a lot of outrageous things, but that we still hadn't located the line that, if crossed, would be too much for Sen. Barack Obama to stomach. Calling John McCain a warmonger isn't past the line. Calling on God to "damn America" isn't over the line. […]
