Just caught a glimpse of People for the American Way's Ralph Neas on Fox News. Talk about the world's worst hair plugs. *shudder*

The New York Times' Paul Krugman has decided to take a break from his demogoguing America's health care system to outline his plan for fixing Social Security. Just kidding. The numbers in the graphic above have changed again -- except for the goose egg for solutions. Nope, instead Krugman does what he has done ever […]

Let me start by saying that I've read all five books of the Hitchhiker's trilogy (Yes, I know that's not proper English), and both of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books. I went into the theater knowing that no film could do the books justice, but hopeful that the movie would be entertaining nonetheless. After having […]

David Brooks' column in today's New York Times reveals a secret aspect of the Democrats' filibuster-preserving deal that the GOP rejected last week -- in return for accepting defeat on several of the filibustered circuit court judges, Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid would guarantee enough Democrat votes to break any filibuster of President Bush's next […]

Well, former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo nailed it with Saturday's Democrat radio address. The American judicial system is not about interpreting the Constitution or laws enacted by the legislature, it's about making law.

I monitored The New York […]

Sen. Harry Reid has now made it clear that the filibusters the Democrats are waging against President Bush's judicial nominees aren't about having time to debate the merits of the judges, but instead are about "checks and balances." Fine. Honesty is a good thing. But let's take that "checks and balances" misnomer -- the filibuster […]

New York Times columnist continues to deliver on his promise to demagogue America's health care system, but ignores his long-ago promise to offer solutions to the Social Security crisis. For those who are interested in some of the problems with Krugman's analysis, I point you to this piece by David Hogberg.

California's "smarter" senator, Dianne Feinstein, has made a shocking discovery: nuclear weapons kill people. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said the study confirms that nuclear bunker busters cannot dig deep enough to prevent large casualties. "The bottom line is that it would result in the deaths of up to a million people or more if used […]
