San Diegans will pick a new mayor in tomorrow's special election. It's highly unlikely that any candidate will top the 50 percent +1 threshold needed to win the race outright. Which means another election will be held a month from now. San Diego's City Council is currently short 3 members -- the recently resigned Mayor […]

Today's New York Times has a piece under the heading "MILITARY MEMO" which expounds on the question in the headline "All Quiet on the Home Front, and Some Soldiers Are Asking Why." The Bush administration's rallying call that America is a nation at war is increasingly ringing hollow to men and women in uniform, who […]

This week's award goes to the junior senator from Massachusetts -- John Kerry. Democratic Sen. John Kerry urged the White House on Friday to release "in their entirety" all documents and memos from Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' tenure in two Republican administrations. "We cannot do our duty if either Judge Roberts or the Bush […]

The Los Angeles Times' media critic, David Shaw (who usually does good work), has gotten quite a bit of flak from the blogosphere because of his disdain for non-journalists practicing punditry. Unlike blogs, Shaw takes pride in the fact that reporters for newspapers have their work vetted by "four experienced editors" before going to press. […]

Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean is trying to "reach out" to pro-lifers -- kinda. He discussed the abortion debate after a student questioned why the party was supporting Bob Casey Jr., a Pennsylvania Democrat challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Santorum. The chairman tried to draw a distinction between Casey and Santorum, even though both men […]

The fact that President Bush nominated a man to replace a woman on the Supreme Court got Colorado's junior senator, Ken Salazar, panties in a twist. Dear President Bush: I do not know yet how I will vote on the confirmation of Judge John G. Roberts Jr. I will honor the processes of the Senate […]

You'll forgive me if I first believed that this article in today's Washington Post was a spoof written by a junior high school French student just a little to impressed with herself. It has been a long time since so much syrupy nostalgia has been in evidence at the White House. But Tuesday night, when […]

I returned to sunny San Diego yesterday afternoon after spending hours in the air. Luckily, I'm very intimidating and managed to subtly dissuade other passengers from sitting next to me, so I wasn't so cramped in those ever-smaller plane seats. I got up early this morning -- because my internal clock is way out of […]

The Center for American Progress' statement on John G. Roberts nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court is wary, but responsible -- unlike a lot of what you're hearing on the loony left. The good news is that it appears that many Democrat senators appear to be following this lead. We'll see if it will last.

I pointed out earlier that the left behaved like Pavlov's dog the second Bush named his pick -- no one Bush could've selected would be acceptable to the Kos Kids. If Bush had selected Ralph Neas or Nan Aron, the tinfoil hat crowd would've been screaming "Manchurian Candidate!" So, it really isn't surprising that you'd […]
