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 President Bush, at Harriet Miers request, has withdrawn her nomination to the Supreme Court -- supposedly due to the fact that the White House will (rightly) refuse to release documents she's worked on while she was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.

Just for laughs. A waiter asks the customer, "May I take your order, sir?" "Yes," the man replies. "I'm just wondering, how do you prepare your chickens?" "Nothing special, sir. We just tell them straight out, they're going to die."

There's just one problem with this entire formulation -- everyone imagines the "perfect Democrat." That individual looks a little different to each person in that 55 percent and there's no way the […]

I'm still in wait-and-see mode on Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers -- though I'm skeptical/leaning against right now. However, Dale Franks over at QandO has answered a series of questions from talk radio host Hugh Hewitt and one of Franks' answers is right on target with where the Supreme Court has gone wrong. Franks identifies […]

And his name is Lawrence B. Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. IN PRESIDENT BUSH'S first term, some of the most important decisions about U.S. national security — including vital decisions about postwar Iraq — were made by a secretive, little-known cabal. It was made up of a very small […]

I've tried, largely unsuccessfully, to convince most moderates that I know that today's left is full of nutjob wackos. They may have reservations or misgivings about the war, and they believe that the Code Pinkos, American Friends Service Committee and Interational ANSWER are noble groups just expressing sane, but contrary opinion to those on the […]
