No brains.

Today's San Diego Union-Tribune has an interesting story on my congressman, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Escondido. [I can't figure out why he's identified as beign from Escondido when the two homes mentioned in the story are in Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe.] A defense contractor with ties to Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham took a $700,000 […]

Mike Tyson quit last night's fight before the start of the seventh round after he lost two points because of an intentional head butt and a failed attempt to break his opponent's arm. That's right, the same wacko who bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear, last night tried to intentionally break the arm of […]

Today's New York Times editorial contains a falsehood. I've sent the following letter off to the Times' Byron Calame. Mr. Calame, Good luck with this new job -- you'll probably need it. I'm writing you with regard to Sundays editorial entitled "The Center Can Hold." There is a factual error in this editorial that needs […]

During the roundtable discussion portion of Friday's "Special Report with Brit Hume," The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes said that if Clarence Thomas were appointed to the Supreme Court today, the Democrats in the Senate would filibuster him as an "out of the mainstream extremist."

Call the victims of 9/11 "little Eichmanns" while claiming that you're an American Indian. The Rocky Mountain News is wrapping up an impressive report on Colorado University professor Ward Churchill. Included in their extensive documentation is Churchill's family tree stretching back to the 16th century. Even going back nearly 500 years, they couldn't find a […]

In a classic case of burying the lede, Friday's Washington Post got Democrat Party chief Howard Dean to make a startling confession -- but only if you read far enough into the story. "Have you had advice for Governor Dean about his most recent comments, sir?" Reid replied that there isn't anyone who hasn't "misspoken" […]

I must confess that I don't pay close attention to the internal workings of the French economy. I know two things about it, and they're all I think I need to know.
