Prompted by The New York Times' lame editorial "The Center Can Hold" -- which prompted me to file a request for a correction with Public Editor Byron Calame (no substantive response yet) -- Sen. John Cornyn responds to the charge that GOP senators are merely a rubber stamp for Bush's judicial nominees. To the Editor: […]
Back when President Bush was in charge and issuing signing statements the liberal media (but I repeat myself) were in a state of continual shock and dismay at the “lawlessness” of the president’s actions. Sen. Barack Obama as a presidential candidate vowed that he wouldn’t behave as his predecessor had when it came to attempting […]
Scroll down and watch the video if you’ve been relying on the mainstream media to tell you about Rep. Bob “Who are YOU?” Etheridge’s little self-control problem. In the wake of the video of an unhinged old man attacking a couple young, well-dressed young men for asking a Democrat if he supported the Obama agenda, […]
Last Monday, I predicted, based on two op-ed pieces decrying the Senate's filibuster, that the New York Times editorial page would soon follow with an editorial attacking the GOP for using the filibuster. Today, the Times, proved me right. And if there was any question on whether the Times is partisan or principled, they answered […]
The New York Times is most famous around here for two things: columnist/hack Paul Krugman and their definition of "filibuster."

This will likely begin tomorrow when Obama rolls back many of the abortion funding restrictions that exist under GOP […]
There's been quite a bit of hubbub the past couple of days after it was revealed that some State Department contract employees had accessed Sen. Barack Obama's passport file. After the junior senator from Illinois expressed appropriate outrage that he was the target of dirty tricks, it was further revealed that contract employees had also […]
The Los Angeles Times editorial page comes out in support of the "nuclear option." Let's give credit where credit is due. Unlike some other newspapers, the Times is taking a principled stance, not a partisan one, and they should be commended for it.
Clifford D. May over at National Review Online offers some background on one person that the New York Times and other national media outlets are touting as a nonpartisan, career foreign diplomat whose criticisms against the Bush administration should be taken seriously. Joseph C. Wilson, in a Times op-ed last week alleged that: "I have […]
Thanks to Instapundit for pointing out this article by Julie Hilden over at Findlaw.com on the Bush v. Gore case that decided the 2000 presidential election. Hilden illustrates that the justices' 5-4 decision in favor of Bush was not based on politics, but on solid, consistent legal reasoning. Recall that in Bush v. Gore, the […]
