I saw "The Great Raid" when it was in theaters. Though it wasn't the greatest WWII movie of the past decade, it was a solid film that cast American soldiers in a positive light. The film was shot in 2002, but sat on a shelf until last year. There was a lot of grumbling that […]

I just got back from watching "End of the Spear" in the theater. It's an excellent, moving film. Frankly, I'm even more befuddled now, after having seen the movie, than I was before at the complaints of some reviewers that the film is prosletyzing, preachy and in-your-face religious. Frankly, I can't imagine making a movie […]

Three Republicans voted against Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Supreme Court. Nine Republicans voted against Stephen Breyer for the Supreme Court. Twenty-two Democrats (50 percent of Dems in the Senate) voted against Chief Justice John Roberts for the Supreme Court. Between 30 and 40-some Democrats will likely vote against Justice Sam Alito. On Fox News, […]

The San Diego Union-Tribune editorial page has been tacking in a more center right direction for the past couple of years, but not so far that they don't support a qualified candidate for the Supreme Court. Today's editorial on the Democrats and their Sen. Chuck "Credit Report" Schumer-led ideological litmus tests for judges includes some […]

I went to the game this evening between the U.S. and Canada men's soccer teams. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. The biggest news of the night was soccer phenom Freddy Adu's first appearance on the men's national team, making him the youngest man to ever play for the team. Though he only played […]

Paul Begala is a former Clinton hatchet-man. Deborah Howell is the Washington Post's ombudsman. I pit them against each other because something that Begala said this morning on "Meet the Press" conflicts with something Howell wrote in today's Post. First, Begala on the Abramoff scandal: Mr. Abramoff is a movement, partisan Republican. There's no evidence […]

San Diego State's basketball team has been so bad for so long that last night marked the first time in its history that they managed to defeat BYU three times in a row. SDSU swept BYU last season and in their first meeting of this season, and just a few minutes into the game the […]

I plan on seeing "End of the Spear" Monday night, but decided to check out some of the reviews for it over at RottenTomatoes.com, a review aggregator. Needless to say, that hostility toward Christian and religious content isn't limited to Hollywood studios, but also appears to run rampant among movie critics. "End of the Spear" […]

More and more Democrat senators are coming out against Judge Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court. Their reasons are myriad, shallow and downright silly. The Wall Street Journal is keeping a running tally of the Democrats here. Thus far only Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska has said he will support Alito. Here's hoping that fewer […]

I saw last week that Scripps Howard News Service had sacked Michael Fumento after he failed to disclose that Monsanto had spent $60,000 to help fund a book that he wrote back in 1999. Fumento finally responded to his firing Thursday, and I must confess that I'm underwhelmed by the entire scandal. Before I go […]
