The pro-dictator/commies at Code Pink started their three day march against the war yesterday from Oceanside to San Diego. They managed to get two dozen marchers. (Reports I heard only put the number at 12 -- either way, it's wholly unimpressive.) The quotes, however are priceless. They like to claim that they are members of […]

Beware of reporters doing math -- or stories on technology. Environmentally minded British motorcycle engineers have produced a zero-emission bike that ticks all the right boxes except one -- it's too quiet. So quiet in fact that its designers are looking to introduce artificial vroom to keep potential customers happy. Powered by a high pressure […]

I've written before that a newspaper's letters to the editor columns are akin to a community forum (or should be). I think it's important to publish letters from individuals on the extremes. The public needs to know there are crazies out there -- on both sides. In this spirit of inclusiveness, I bring you this […]

It looks like a small part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will be opened for oil drilling when the budget is passed. I watched video of Democratic opponents of the move complain that there wouldn't be nearly enough oil produced to make any dent in gasoline prices or our dependence on foreign oil. Comically, […]

I haven't been closely following the Terry Schiavo case, the brain-damaged Florida woman whose husband is pressing to have her feeding tube removed. The way the media has reported this case, and therefore the perception of much of the public, has been skewed by a biased expert, a close-minded judge and an unwillingness to really […]

Justice Antonin Scalia gave a talk earlier this week at the Woodrow Wilson Center on the less-than-sexy topic of "Constitutional Interpretation." Most media outlets zeroed in on Scalia's blistering attack on the Court's recent decision abolishing the juvenile death penalty. However, Scalia's comments on the current state of judicial confirmations was much more interesting with […]

CNN main link headline on the Larry Summers vote: "Harvard president fails confidence test." Are white males intrinsically less likely to pass this sort of test when administered by a bunch of politically correct academics? Are they less likely to take these sorts of tests because of the hostile test-taking environment? These are difficult questions. […]

Over the past few weeks, there's been example after example of liberal pundits/commentators offering their insights on the psyche of conservatives -- specifically Christian conservatives. Actually, there's been little insight and a lot of foolishness. It began in earnest when a speech given by former PBS "newsman" Bill Moyers was reproduced as an op-ed in […]

This first got notice in the blogosphere last week, but Sunday's Detroit News provides a little more information than previous reports. The United Auto Workers says Marine reservists should show a little more semper fi if they want to use the union's parking lot. The Marine Corps motto means "always faithful," but the union says […]

Sunday's New York Times came out with an article blaring the big headline: "Under Bush, a New Age of Prepackaged TV News." The headline and the article attempt to perpetuate one of the liberal left's new theories of the world -- that the Bush administration is trying to destroy the media. [For further evidence on […]
