In a debate on the Senate floor yesterday over judges and filibusters, the "dean" (read: "old fogey") of the Senate, Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia lectured majority leader Sen. Bill Frist on his legacy. His position drew a pointed caution from Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, a former majority leader and […]

It appears as though CBS has chosen to use the editing technique favored by the late night comics for a less-than-comedic effect. According to former federal judge and special prosecutor Ken Starr, a Monday evening CBS News report that characterized him as being opposed to the nuclear/Byrd option on filibusters was, in fact, creative editing.

I'm just not sure which one of those three things New York Times columnist Paul Krugman believes Social Security to be -- it changes at least once a week. Krugman's column in today's New York Times slams Wal-Mart for its low wages and laments the fact that Wal-Mart workers will depend heavily on Social Security. […]

In the continuing debate over whether or not John Kerry honestly won Wisconsin by some 11,000 votes George W. Bush won Ohio by more than 100,000 votes, Rep. John Conyers attempts to invoke the wisdom of Monty Python and gets it wrong. The exit poll discrepancies are to the evidence that massive disenfranchisement occurred in […]

I particularly liked this little tidbit from the Ohio "lawsuits." Another one of the witnesses was the author of the now-withdrawn lawsuits challenging the Ohio results. Lacking evidence that anyone […]

The New York Times has printed five letters on last week's Nichloas Kristof column castigating the Catholic Church for its condom prohibition -- a prohibition that I, for the record, don't personally support. Since my letter wasn't selected by the Times, you can read it here, exclusively. I must confess that I'm always somewhat puzzled […]

There isn't a canopy below.

At least, that's what I'm sure my left-wing high school AP History teacher and former national teacher of the year Myrra Lee would give him for this application of the Constitutional system of checks and balances. During Tuesday's news conference, Reid also challenged Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., to schedule a vote on the […]

If this is what we can expect from The Huffington Post, Arianna's new venture will be of little use besides pointing out how many in Hollywood are completely nuts. At 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Election Day, I checked the sportsbook odds in Las Vegas and via the offshore bookmakers to see the odds as […]
