National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru made an appearance on "The Daily Show" yesterday. You can get the video here. I'll say this for Jon Stewart, if he didn't read the book, at least he got a better briefing on it than did Alan Colmes.

Don Luskin points us to a David Cay Johnston article on how putting $50,000 in a Roth IRA in 2010 can turn into $41 million over Madeline's lifetime. Of course, Johnston isn't really excited about Maddie the multimillionare -- he's mad that the government isn't going to get to tax that money. That is, until […]

Mexico is threatening to file lawsuits in U.S. courts if the National Guard does any law enforcement-type duties. I'm sorry, but this is mad. I understand that the President can't nationalize the National Guard and then put them to work doing law enforcement duties domestically because of the Posse Comitatus Act. However, the Mexican government […]

The report on Ward "Little Eichmanns" Churchill is out and the investigative committee has found more than enough evidence that the University of Colorado professor is a plagiarist, fabricator and an all-around academic fraud. Findings The conclusions of the investigative committee that examined seven allegations of research misconduct against University of Colorado ethnic studies professor […]

I watched the president's speech last night and was moderately unimpressed. We'll see shortly if the government -- including the congress -- is really serious about staunching the flow of illegal immigrants. Like they say in Missouri, show me. I was happy to hear that the so-called practice of catch-and-release would be coming to an […]

Today's journalistic malpractice comes to us courtesy of the "Today" show (via Newsbusters). In a little intro to an interview with Chevron CEO David O'Reilly, "Today" broke down the costs of a gallon of gas -- sorta. You can follow the previous link to see a couple of the images, but these are the "facts" […]

I'm going to take issue with one line in today's Union-Tribune editorial on the NSA phone database. Earlier this year, when it was disclosed that the NSA was intercepting calls to and from foreign countries, the president told the nation that the program did not cover calls within the United States. We now know that […]

Last year, I noted how the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters show has this tendency -- probably as a result of lawyers -- of assuming that they can keep information about various basic science facts out of the public domain by just "bleeping" out certain facts. Well, they've done it again. The latest show featuring "exploding pants" […]

Because a lot of people in the media seem to have forgotten, and far too many Democrat partisans don't seem to care anymore, here's a brief reminder about what we're really talking about when there's a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the NSA's surveillance programs. I wanted to take a couple of […]

The Union-Tribune has an interesting article on attendance figures in sports. Maybe this will put a halt to the guessing game that Hoy senior likes to play at San Diego State basketball games. Then again, probably not.
