Just got a pre-recorded phone call from the Governator inviting me to a Saturday rally against various propositions at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Schwarzenegger claimed to be traveling up and down the state campaigning -- a typical Republican lie -- while he's stumping for President Bush in Ohio. The real news is that this phone […]

With absentee ballots arriving in mailboxes and many people taking advantage of early voting opportunities across the country, I wanted to get the long-awaited Hoystory.com endorsement out on the Internet. I want to emphasize that the following endorsement is not approved by, nor is it representative of the views of, my employer, The San Diego […]

The Wall Street Journal earlier this week ran a correction to a front-page article by reporters Shailagh Murray and Greg Hitt. The sentence being corrected was this one: Mr. Bush believes the key to victory lies in his party's conservative core. He gave a rare interview over the weekend to Fox News, a network sympathetic […]

California's saner, senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, demonstrates that you can be to the right of Barbara Boxer and still be a nut. In a letter to The Wall Street Journal, Feinstein takes the paper's editors to task for supporting research into a bunker-busting nuke. [Link requires a subscription, but I'll be quoting the entire letter.] […]

Best Blogs: The Washington Post announced the winners of its first "Best Blogs" contest and, sadly, Hoystory.com wasn't even nominated. The winners got a cool logo to put on their blogs, and, feeling slightly slighted, I decided to go and make a logo for the rest of us. Other bloggers can feel free to pilfer […]

CNET News' Declan McCullagh notes that Sen. John Kerry has indicated he might "defang" the Digital Millennium Copyright Act -- the law that prevents you from making backup copies of your DVDs, among other things. It's an interesting idea, but I wouldn't bet a plug nickel on it. Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have […]

If you think what appears in The New York Times doesn't have an effect on what you see or hear in your little corner of the country, think again. The Times report on 380 tons of missing high explosive in Iraq appeared in papers across the country. The story has been used by the media […]

I must confess that several years ago I auditioned to be on Bill Maher's show "Politically Incorrect." This was in the late '90s when they were on ABC and they had a period of time that they were having "citizen panelists" on the show once a week. This was long before I started blogging, and […]

I know it sounds like some pornographic movie, but I'm convinced that's what the junior senator from Massachusetts is counting on to deliver on all of these promises he and the Breck girl have made in the campaign. In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, President Bush echoed the 9/11 Commission's finding that we […]

Last week, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro took a fall and broke his knee and arm (if I remember correctly). I seldom take joy in other people's suffering -- except when they're an oppressive, murdering dictator -- so I was happy to see Castro in pain. Courtesy of Jay Nordlinger at National Review comes this bit […]
