Chicago Sun-Times columnist/wife of the publisher Jennifer Hunter, fresh off an embarrassing defense of her characterization of trial lawyer James Ronca as a "staunch Republican," goes back to the well once again. This time, Hunter publishes a letter in which Ronca defends his "staunch" Republican credentials. After a couple of paragraphs of name-dropping and a […]

If there was ever any doubt (there isn't) that the New York Times editorial page was partisan rather than principled, just check out today's lead editorial on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's use of state police for political purposes -- and imagine President Bush had behaved similarly. To say that the Times criticisms of Spitzer […]

Some have noted that you may occassionally see an ad down on the right for Barack Obama for President. It's an ad served up by Google, likely because this site has a lot of political content. I have not endorsed any candidate for president, and I certainly won't be endorsing Obama. Having said that, if […]

The New Republic is now investigating the veracity of the claims made by the pseudonymous "Scott Thomas" that I outlined last week. This is probably something they should've done before they printed it, but The New Republic has a history there. I encourage you to visit The Weekly Standard's blog and just start scrolling for […]

Today, James Taranto provides some more details from that Register investigation. […]

I finished the latest Harry Potter book, "The Deathly Hallows" this morning after approximately 7.5 hours straight reading. Like the title says, I offer no spoilers, but let me say that you won't feel cheated by the ending.

Chula Vista City Councilman Steve Castaneda appears to be getting the Patrick Fitzgerald treatment from Prosecutor Patrick O'Toole of the San Diego County District Attorney's Public Integrity Unit. Castaneda has been charged with perjury "for allegedly lying about whether he thought about buying one of the Sunbow condominiums." When asked in front of the grand […]

Courtesy of Don Surber we have this gem from Sen. John Kerry on how nothing bad happened to anyone after we abandoned South Vietnam to the communist North. Everybody predicted a massive bloodbath in Vietnam. There was not a massive bloodbath in Vietnam. There were reeducation camps and they weren't [inaudible] and nobody likes that […]

I generally like Canadians, if you know what I'm talking aboot. But this is just silly. Threatening someone with a gun may be enough to warrant being charged with a firearms offence, even if one isn't being carried, Canada's top court ruled Friday. In a unanimous ruling, the nine-member Supreme Court of Canada upheld a […]
