John "$400 haircut" Edwards at the debate tonight: "I don't know if I know what a rich person is."

Nation columnist and all-around hack Eric Alterman was arrested at Sunday night's Democrat Presidential Debate. Alterman apparently got in a huff after some guy in a private suite kicked him out and wouldn't give Alterman his name so he could mock him in his blog tomorrow. I'd also like to point out a comment by […]

Wow. Just wow. This is today's New York Times front page: Yesterday, the Justice Department announced the arrest of three individuals and the search for a fourth in connection with a plot to destroy jet fuel tanks and fuel pipelines at JFK Airport. That story is not on the front page. Where did the Times […]

Senate rules allow senators to hitch rides on cushy private airplanes if they reimburse their benefactor at the rate for a corresponding first-class ticket. Of course, if you or I were to try to hire a private jet by using the same rationale -- and wad of cash -- we'd get the jet door slammed […]

I know that Hillary wasn't responsible for banner behind her, although she would've been smart to jokingly note the mistake for the record. Having said that, you know that if President Bush -- or just about any Republican candidate -- had appeared in front of a similarly misspelled banner the gaffe would've been all over […]

I hate to break this to the GOP, but your phone solicitors aren't the problem. The Republican National Committee, hit by a grass-roots donors' rebellion over President Bush's immigration policy, has fired all 65 of its telephone solicitors, The Washington Times has learned.

Geez, you'd think they were the National Reconaissance Center the way no one in the government or Congress wants to talk about the National Drug Intelligence Center -- Rep. John Murtha's pet agency. I thought all of this stuff was going to change once Democrats were in control. I am soooo disillusioned.

Factcheck.org has a new analysis up of the so-called Fair Tax supported by the likes of talk show host Neal Boortz, GOP presidential hopefuls former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Reps. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo. Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a big fan of the current tax system. What's really […]

I've complained for years that Social Security is nothing more than a government run Ponzi scheme. It depends on a demographic model that no longer exists -- one that has a dozen or so workers for each retiree. When a private individual or company does this sort of thing, they go to jail. When the […]

Memorial Day weekend also happens to be college lacrosse final four weekend. I must say that aside from the Super Bowl, I probably look forward to the lacrosse final four more than any other sporting event. I must also confess I wasn't rooting for Duke. I've been a Johns Hopkins fan ever since I was […]
