I've long argued that the New York Times editorial page is partisan, not principled. Most recently, the Times bemoaned the failure to throw money at the New Orleans levee system in the wake of Hurricane Katrina -- yet months earlier they had attacked funding for the levees as unnecessary pork. So, today it should be […]

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald indicted I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby today on five counts related to the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's name. You can read the indictment here. [PDF document] Libby faces charges of one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements. Here's a few […]

There's supposed to be indictment(s) handed down today in Nadagate -- more commonly known as the "Plame Affair." (That sounds like a title for a Robert Ludlum novel.) The New York Times is reporting that I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, will be indicted for allegedly making false statements to the […]

Yeah, I know it's an oxymoron, but check out this article in today's Wall Street Journal on religious schools' difficulties at getting the University of California system's blessing on their courses. At issue -- among many things -- is the textbooks used in these courses. The physics textbook is like any other--with pure science in […]

It's unlikely that it will happen, but my #1 choice for the next Supreme Court nominee is: Michael McConnell. My #2 pick: Janice Rogers Brown. Of course, I've now jinxed both of them. Sorry.

The strategy/excuse suggested last week by Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer appears to have been successful. President Bush, at Harriet Miers request, has withdrawn her nomination to the Supreme Court -- supposedly due to the fact that the White House will (rightly) refuse to release documents she's worked on while she was White House counsel.

Iran is probably the world's next big trouble spot, especially if the Europeans and the useless International Atomic Energy Agency fail to halt that nation's pursuit of nuclear weapons "power." In a speech today, the Iranian president, who was issued a visa earlier this year to attend the United Nations, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad talked about his […]

From James' Taranto's "Best of the Web Today" over at OpinionJournal.com, we have these gems from the same speech by Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. "When they [the Bush administration] could have listened to General Shinseki and put in enough troops to maintain order, they chose not to. They were wrong." "General George Casey, our top […]

You should read this piece from John Hinderaker over at Powerline before you get too worried (if you're a conservative) or giddy (if you're a liberal) about what Vice President Dick Cheney knew about Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson and when he knew it.
