On Tuesday, President Bush held a press conference in which he took the Democrat Congress to task for its failure to pass a supplemental war funding bill without unconstitutional infringements on the commander-in-chief's power or political pork.

Someone please tell me that this is a belated April Fools joke. The government of Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia, which has a population of about 4 million, has approved a tax on barbequing, local media reported.

Either that, or he's bucking for unemployment. If this report from Drudge is true, then any action by CNN short of firing reporter Michael Ware is not enough. During a live press conference in Bagdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct […]

The talking heads on "Fox News Watch" just got done talking about the vapid moron that is Rosie O'Donnell and her pronouncements that the British plotted for their 15 sailors to get captured and that the destruction of WTC 7 was an inside job. "Media writer" Neal Gabler -- once again, who the heck publishes […]
