Global warming lies

On the same day the New York Times editorial board decries global warming and the Bush administration's decision to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol -- again. For an editorial board that has decried the "meddling" of the Bush administration in "scientific" reports, it's interesting that the Times is ignoring a little bit of politicking […]

Sowell on Social Security

Economist Thomas Sowell has a couple of pieces on Social (In)Security here and here. How did Social Security get into its present mess in the first place? Because politicians made it the "risky scheme" that they now claim privatization would be. The same political expediency which caused Social Security to be called "insurance," in order […]

For the record

President Bush volunteered to go to Vietnam as part of a military operation called "Palace Alert." Evidence here and here. That is all.

Lying, partisan hack

I haven't been beating up on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman lately because he hasn't been doing much original work. Twice a week he trots out the same old, tired claims with the words put in a slightly different order and the Times pays him all over again. As the inestimable Don Luskin points […]

Book note

I'm nearly finished reading Hugh Hewitt's latest book with the extremely unwieldy title of "If it's not close they can't cheat: Crushing the Democrats in every election and why your life depends on it." Overall the book is pretty good. You can read it in easy-to-digest bites and, despite the title it's pretty independent and […]

Violence in Iraq

For those of you who are visual learners, this site has some graphics showing where the dangerous parts of Iraq are. Contentions made by President Bush, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Iraqi PM Ayad Allawi that elections could be held in most of the Iraqi provinces tomorrow are backed up by the graphic. Don't expect the […]

Good read

I just picked up Stephen Coonts' latest novel, "Saucer: The Conquest." It's a sequel, so read the first (simply entitled "Saucer") before starting this one. I'm not completely finished with the book yet, but a couple of items struck me as a blogger. First, the bad guy is French. Second, the bad guy's last name […]

Sunday morning moment of the week

I must confess that I'd abandoned watching "This Week" shortly after they changed the format and got rid of the roundtable segment. The only realy reason I tuned in most Sundays was to hear what George Will had to say. I don't know if the roundtable segment is back as a permanent feature, but they […]

A valiant attempt

Democrat Sen. Joe Biden -- a John Kerry supporter -- went on "Fox News Sunday" this morning and made an admirable attempt to defend one of Kerry's more outrageous flip-flops. Host Chris Wallace played two videos of dueling John Kerrys: (Caption: Monday) Sen. John Kerry: The satisfaction that we take in his [Saddam Hussein] downfall […]

How the mighty have fallen

During WWII the German Army's blitzkrieg dominated Europe. The German warrior culture was so feared that for decades the world kept the country divided into East and West. Today, one retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. can send the Germans into full retreat by suggesting that Germany only likes the U.S. troops for the money they […]
