Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta came to Los Angeles today and announced -- as is typical -- that the law will change on the next president's watch so this one won't have to deal with it. A plan requiring automakers to boost fuel economy standards for some sport utility vehicles, minivans and pickup trucks could eventually […]
Adding insult to injury

For those of you who have been closely following the Kelo case (where the Supreme Court eviscerated private property rights), I'm sure this will come as no surprise.

CNN President Jonathan Klein implies ratings news leader FOXNEWS is mired in coverage of "meaningless nonsense," claiming: "Fourteen Americans dead, and they have Natalee Holloway on," Klein says.

Juan Cole is unctuous piece of excrement
Read More
I seldom bother with Michigan history professor Juan Cole. Why? Because the man is living, breathing evidence that feces float. This time, Cole decided to open his ill-informed trap, and he got his teeth kicked in by the widow of Steven Vincent, the brave journalist and author murdered earlier this month in Iraq. Yes, Steven […]
So, maybe we shouldn't defend San Francisco

The barking moonbats in San Francisco have decided that they don't want the decommissioned USS Iowa ported there and used as a museum. But city supervisors voted 8-3 last month to oppose taking in the ship, citing local opposition to the Iraq war and the military’s stance on gays, among other things. "If I was […]
