It's gone. The thing was useless anyway -- based on not what particular guns could do, but instead what they looked like. MoveOn PAC's latest ad is, according to the sometimes nonpartisan FactCheck.org "about as misleading as it can be." Through words, graphics and sound effects, it invites viewers to think that the expiration of […]

According to CNN founder Reese Schoenfeld, CBS News managing editor Dan Rather is an empty-headed automaton -- and that's a compliment. On Tuesday night's "Hannity and Colmes" on Fox News, Schoenfeld had the following to say when the Media Research Center's Brent Bozell suggested that Rather should step down until a complete investigation of the […]

Hoystory will not refer to this scandal as others have -- by using CBS newsman Dan Rather's surname and appending "-gate" -- because the construction is contrived, overdone and annoying. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, the only people left who believe these documents are genuine are the Kool Aid drinkers on […]

When I saw this in the Sunday paper, my blood began to boil. Sen. John F. Kerry vowed Saturday to "fight tooth and nail" to ensure every African American vote was counted in the November election, saying Democrats would not "stand by and allow acts of voter suppression." The Democratic presidential nominee stepped up criticism […]

Keep this on your clipboard whenever your Democrat friends complain about the "vicious" attack ads that the Bush/Cheney campaign and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are airing. Who's Counting? $106,124,400: Estimated amount spent on TV ads by President Bush's campaign and pro-Republican groups since March. $181,792,922: Estimated amount spent on TV ads by the Kerry […]

I wish I'd been around Friday night to see it, but National Review's Jim Geraghty gives Dan Rather's performance that night a solid fisking which is well worth your time. I'll post more on this entire issue later, but I wanted to point out this part of Rather's introduction. Today on the Internet and elsewhere, […]

I've returned from a refreshing weekend with friends up at Hume Lake Christian Camps in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest. I must admit I was a little anxious to be without Internet access as CBS news was imploding. (I'll have more on that later.) Instead I had to get my news fix the old fashioned […]

First off: LA traffic stinks -- even when I'm not driving. It's nice to be able to read up on what the latest is on the fake Killian documents fallout. The guys over at Powerline (link on left) are all over the story for a second straight day. Apparently Dan Rather went on CNN earlier […]

I'm heading off to the Sequoia National Forest and will be incommunicado for the next several days (unless Sprint has hidden a cell tower somewhere). In the meantime, feel free to hit the tip jars on the left or visit my advertisers.

ABC's "Nightline" piece on the forged documents was less than impressive. The New York Times piece on the story is adequate. Dr. Philip Bouffard, who was also interviewed over at the INDC Journal (link below), is quoted by the Times, but his assessment that there is at least a 90 percent probability that the documents […]
