Actress Sally Field won something for some show no one really watches at some awards show last night. Upon receiving her meaningless award, she had the following to say: "If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no g--damned wars in the first place," said Field, trying to recover her train of thought while […]

Instapundit Glenn Reynolds noted yesterday that Colorado Democrat Sen. Ken Salazar had done what he characterized as the "world's quietest Sister Souljah moment," when he denounced the MoveOn.org "General Betray Us" ad to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, circulation 30,000. This prompted a missive from Gary Harmon of the Daily Sentinel: Prof. Reynolds: Here I […]

Earlier this summer, several people died when a heavily trafficked bridge in Minnesota suddenly collapsed in the middle of the afternoon commute. It didn't take long for certain politicians with more outrage than propriety demand that we spend more money on infrastructure, especially bridges. We were lectured that we didn't really care about the danger […]

Last week, The Washington Post's Karen De Young reported a controversial claim about how Gen. David Petraeus is lying about the decrease in ethno-sectarian violencethat's made it into letters to the editor across the nation. "If a bullet went through the back of the head, it's sectarian," the official said. "If it went through the […]

No, I'm not sure exactly what the headline on this post means. It just has a certain feeling to it. Maybe it's because of the sound a bag of hammers makes when you drop it on the floor -- or swing it and hit California Sen. Barbara Boxer in the head. This would mean that […]

It should come as no surprise that the New York Times editorial page would toe the left-liberal party line that Gen. David Petraeus is a liar. However, if you're supportive of the troops and their mission in Iraq, then the editorial board invites you to barge in on their editorial meetings and be heard. When […]

The New Republic continues to stonewall on the Scott Thomas Beauchamp fabulism. Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee reports over at Pajamas Media that TNR's vaunted fact-checking department didn't actually do any fact-checking. And here's the bit that hurts the most: While TNR complains that they can't get Beauchamp to talk to them, he manages to […]

You can see a full size PDF of today's MoveOn.org ad in today's New York Times by clicking on the accompanying image. I've got to say that this is probably the most disgusting piece of political hackery since Grover Cleveland had to endure taunts of "Ma, Ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House. […]

If you're interested in global warming and are familiar with shell scripts and Fortran, you can now access the code written by NASA's James Hansen on the taxpayers' dime. Hansen continues to come across as a horse's behind as he reluctantly released data that we paid for. Because the programs include a variety of languages […]

This is disgusting. “No one wants to call [Gen. David Petraeus] a liar on national TV,” noted one Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition on anonymity. “The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us.” Seeing as how I'm in the tarring-and-feathering mood. This anonymous senator should have the guts to […]
