A few quick notes on today at Hoystory. We have confirmed visual evidence that the world's greatest niece is capable of bipedal motion. She also really knows how to eat birthday cake -- she gets that from her uncle. I spent much of today doing spring cleaning at Hoystory World Headquarters. I'm not sure whether […]

For the past couple of weeks I've taken to having a late lunch at Panera Bread with my laptop computer and taking advantage of their free wi-fi service. Having said that, I guess I shouldn't be too amused at the two guys sitting across from me having lunch together -- both talking on cell phones […]

The New York Times apparently doesn't like the fact that its mostly-liberal editorial page and columnists get criticized by the horde of bloggers on the Internet, so they've decided to start charging -- $50 a year to read Paul Krugman and Maureen Dowd -- beginning in September.

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin made the following statement on "Fox News Sunday": First, let me say there are only four that are truly contested. Four judicial nominees who have been rejected by the Senate at this point and have been resubmitted by the President. That's never been done before. False. Untrue. First, let's outline what […]

Perhaps because of all the attention given the nomination of John Bolton, and of would-be federal judges, we have not heard much about Gen. Peter Pace, President Bush's choice to head the Joint Chiefs of Staff. […]

Today's Washington Post has an article showing that "memorial" Web sites of jihadis in Iraq list a majority of Saudis -- many of them college students or from wealthy families. This tells us a couple of things. First, the complaints by much of the American and European left that the hatred of America is due […]

To counter Paul Krugman's dishonesty, the New York Times gives us John Tierney.

We here at Hoystory wish a happy birthday to the world's greatest niece! We here at Hoystory realize that moving can be a pain. However, it has been several weeks since we have received photographs or videos. There is a rumor that Maddie has begun to master bipedal motion, but video evidence is needed to […]

GOP Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio suggested that had nominee John Bolton had a short fuse that would have got him fired in the private sector. This analysis of what is a fireable offense in the private sector comes from a man who hasn't held a private sector job since 1967.
