I don't feel a lot of schadenfraude at learning this news: The French dislike themselves even more than the Americans dislike them, according to an opinion poll published on Friday. The survey of six nations, carried out for the International Herald Tribune daily and France 24 TV station, said 44 percent of French people thought […]

The Washington State Supreme Court smacked down several governmental entities that sought to silence supporters of an initiative that would've repealed a hike in the state gas tax. The municipalities targeted several radio talk show hosts who used their air time to support the initiative and required them to file campaign finance documents classifying the […]

When last we visited Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman on the issue of abortion, she was exposed here as a liar. In Friday's column, Goodman, predictably rails against the recent Supreme Court decision outlawing what Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once described as uncomfortably close to "infanticide."

Because when I read this, all I can think of is "DeGaulle of that woman." See-dubya responds wittily to a Hillary Clinton quote: Hillary Clinton: “When I walk into the Oval office in January 2009 I’m afraid I’m gonna lift up the rug and see so much stuff under there…” MEMO TO HILLARY: When your […]

Singer Sheryl Crow has a talent for putting together some catchy tunes, should limit her pronouncements to the rhythmic, rather than public policy. Crow's plan to save the trees isn't to plant more of them. No, her plan is to enforce a limit on the use of toilet paper. I propose a limitation be put […]

The world apparently got quite a bit hotter this past week as the Nevado del Huila volcano in Colombia erupted unleashing tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

In the post below I note that the three Christians murdered in Turkey were tortured before their deaths. When the American media reports developments in the case, that fact is never mentioned.
