A group of 20-some career diplomats and military officers have written a letter condemning President Bush's foreign policy. Frankly, I'm surprised they only managed to round up a few dozen signers. There are plenty of people out there who are minimizing or attacking any comparisons between Bush 43 and the late Ronald Reagan, but this […]

National Review's Rich Lowry makes a good point on the partial birth abortion debate. The San Francisco judge struck down the ban partly because she thinks it is sometimes safer to kill a fetus while it is being delivered intact rather than chopping it up inside the womb. By this standard, why shouldn't it be […]

A Roll Call article exposes a recent Los Angeles Times poll on the presidential race that gave Democrat Sen. John Kerry an unheard of 7 point lead. According to Roll Call, the survey sample was made up of 38 percent Democrats and only 25 percent Republicans. Why even make a play at accuracy at the […]

I saw a couple of the local evening newscasts and one story piqued my interest. San Diego's Metropolitan Transit System is raising the price of its monthly pass. The increase varies anywhere from 50 cents to $2, depending on your age. But they never tell you what the cost of a monthly pass is -- […]

The U.S. Supreme Court today took the coward's way out and decided that litigious atheist Michael Newdow didn't have the standing to challenge the Pledge of Allegiance because he does not have custody of his daughter. Frankly, it's mystifying why the court would make this ruling. Though ruling that Newdow doesn't have legal standing is […]

Favorite brother-in-law Ronald W. Short, Jr., on his Master of Divinity degree (summa cum laude) from Bethel Seminary in San Diego. Ronnie will be taking a position as a "Pastor of Christian Education" in Rhode Island -- a cold and desolate place, devoid of happy human habitation. Just last night, favorite niece Madeline voiced her […]

Saddam's widowed daughters (widowed due to Saddam killing their husbands) are interviewed in an Arab women's weekly magazine. Setting a new mark Guiness Book of World Records for "gall," the privileged daughters of a mass-murdering tyrant had this to say: "I'm not afraid of death, but of scandal," she told the magazine. When asked to […]

Our favorite cousin named "Bonnie Stokes" on her graduation from the University of California San Diego with a bachelor's degree. Law school is up next for Ms. Stokes and I'm looking forward to having a lawyer in the family.

U.N. inspectors are reporting that Saddam Hussien smuggled out a lot of banned weapons in months before the liberation of Iraq. The United Nations has determined that Saddam Hussein shipped weapons of mass destruction components as well as medium-range ballistic missiles before, during and after the U.S.-led war against Iraq in 2003. The UN Monitoring, […]

Smash went undercover up at last weekend's commie A.N.S.W.E.R. protest up in Los Angeles. His report is amusing and scary. Smash also spotted San Diego's own commie-redhead who threatened to fight a guy twice his size -- he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Fortunately for them, these wackos are ignored by the vast […]
