New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is back from his week off. Did he use this time to formulate his much-anticipated plan to save Social Security? Well, the changed numbers in the banner atop this page should answer that question. No, instead Krugman returns with vitriol and decides to compare his caricature of the "religious […]

John Fund has a piece in today's Wall Street Journal on the left's selective outrage at the idea of the federal branch of government involving itself in state family court matters. As I mentioned last week, the Clinton administration did something cloaked in the flimsiest color of law -- and the republic survived. Respect for […]

Harper's magazine has decided to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to several young Marines. Not really, but that's the likely fallout from the March cover. The St. Petersburg Times reports: Marine recruits so new that their hair hasn't been cut don't sound like the best models for a story about soldiers going AWOL - […]

Overshadowed by the Eason Jordan slander of the American military at the Davos conference was statements made by former President Bill Clinton on Iran's "democracy." “Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997).

Now that it looks like some reporters may face jail time at the hands of an overzealous prosecutor (originally egged on by various newspapers), journalists are now considering that a crime may never have occurred in the Joseph Wilson/Valerie Plame expose.

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean revisits one of his biggest foot-in-mouth moments and the irony passes him by. The party allowed its opponents too often to define debates and control issues, such as faith and family values, Dean said. ''We need to talk about values and not be afraid of them,'' he said, going on […]

Father: "Be home by 11." Son: "No problem, dad." Son arrives […]

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has denied an appeal by the parents of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman, to have her feeding tube reinserted pending a complete review of her case. I'd like to make it clear that I am not opposed to removing a respirator or some other sort of machine […]

Fox News' Neil Cavuto had a representative from the evil Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) on his program because today is apparently an anniversary of some kind. Cavuto asked an excellent question of the human-hater: Let's say you're in a canoe and can save only one other being -- do you save […]

Lt. Smash has a roundup of links with photos and tons of other bloggy-goodness on Saturday's Patriots' Picnic/counterprotest against the communists/anarchists and apologists for mass-murdering dictators. I would particularly like to point out this photo by Larry Carlin of the day's most moronic protestor. Two things about this idiot. First, it demonstrates the contempt these […]
