It seems that even in Great Britain the school system is failing those who want to learn the English language, but very good at teaching political correctness. NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff. Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West […]

Well, I suppose that salmon are low in fat, but this is ridiculous. So, you landed a big king salmon this summer? It can't compare to the colossal king Alaska Airlines plans to land this morning in Anchorage. The Seattle-based carrier has painted nearly the full length of a Boeing 737-400 passenger jet as a […]

New York Times editorial page editor Gail Collins publishes a letter from the editor in today's paper restating her committment to running corrections when errors are made on the editorial page. We correct all errors, from heart-stoppingly egregious to sublimely insignificant, because we believe that The Times should take its reputation for accuracy seriously. It's […]

This story brought to mind something my grandmother used to say: "People in hell want ice water." The implication, of course, is that they're not gonna get it.

That's how John Podhoretz describes New York Times reporter Judith Miller's release from prison yesterday after she agreed to testify before the grand jury in the nadagate affair.

The Senate today confirmed John Roberts to be chief justice of the Supreme Court by a vote of 78-22. I must confess that he got more Democrat support than I predicted. I suspect this is because Roberts ended up replacing the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and not the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor. The talk […]

Neil Cavuto is interviewing Congressman Barney Frank on the DeLay indictment and the corrupt Republicans. The criticism is coming from a guy whose gay lover was operating an "escort service" out of the congressman's apartment. Couldn't they have gotten a stand-up Democrat who doesn't have some taint of scandal of some sort to appear on […]

GOP majority leader Tom DeLay has been indicted for violating a Texas campaign finance law. I don't know if DeLay is guilty, but I'm more than a little bit skeptical because this prosecutor has a history of using the law for partisan gain. Among the politicians he has tangled with is Republican Sen. Kay Bailey […]
