The method for sending a password so you can post comments was kaput. It is no longer. If you had registered and never received an e-mail with a password, I'm sorry, but try again.

You sure you don't want to applaud that?

I'm just getting to watching yesterday's State of the Union speech and I must confess that one moment struck me as ... odd. It is said that prior to the attacks of September the 11th, our government failed to connect the dots of the conspiracy. We now know that two of the hijackers in the […]

I got this week's Time magazine in the mail today. One of the interesting factoids that jumped out at me is on Page 18 -- the first two numbers highlight the state of global warming. 58.3 degress: Global average surface temperature, in Fahrenheit, in 2005 -- the hottest year on record. 10,000: Years since the […]

Judge Samuel Alito is now Justice Samuel Alito. What does this mean? First it means that Justice Stephen Breyer no longer has to get drinks for the rest of the justices or get up and answer the door. Of course, what it really means is that we've got four solid votes for originalism and against […]

The New York Times report today on yesterday's 72-25 cloture vote on the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court contains the term: "filibuster." We have the Times filibuster definition courtesy of editorial page editor Gail Collins. When a cloture motion was made to move the nomination to a vote, Senator Frist voted […]

John Hinderaker over at Powerline took a swing at Sunday's jumbo-sized New York Times editorial and smashed it to smithereens. A casual observer would be forgiven for wondering what the fuss is about. If the Times is happy with what the administration is doing, but just wants it to follow a procedure that will yield […]
Angry partisanship

David Broder had an interesting article in Sunday's Washington Post that recounted Tip O'Neill's visit to Ronald Reagan's hospital room after he was shot by John Hinckley. When I reached [Max] Friedersdorf [, Reagan White House congressional liaison,] last week at his retirement home in Florida, I asked him how it happened that Reagan's first […]

Congratulations on making it over here from blogspot. All the posts are here. Comments, unfortunately are not. I understand that WordPress could've brought many of them over, but I didn't start out the process correctly ... well it's a long story. I've also fixed the titles of most of January's posts, the importer brought them […]
Well, the reporter had to have it explained to him

So, it should come as little surprise that he felt the need to explain it to you. The latest Census Bureau report shows median prices for new residences sold in December fell 1.5 percent from the previous month to $221,800. Half of the homes sold for more than the median, the rest for less. Well, […]
Uninformed or a liar?

I watched "Fox News Watch" last night. The program is the Fox News Channel's media watchdog program and is unfortunately only 30 minutes long. If it were longer, I'd probably have even more ammunition proving media critic Neal Gabler, an Eric Alterman acolyte, to be at the very least hopelessly misinformed and at worse a […]
