I mentioned earlier this week the crippling effect a proclivity to philander can have in a president. My thoughts along that line regarding former President Bill Clinton focused on the events which occurred in his second term. But Slate's Mickey Kaus observes that Clinton's "bimbo eruptions" also affected his first term and possibly had an […]

I watched most of Mel Gibson's interview on ABC last night (I think I missed the first 5-10 minutes) and was impressed. Gibson's description of the flaws in the past and how, by the grace of God, he finally overcame many of them, was inspiring. I'll see the "Passion" when it comes out -- probably […]

I don't know how it happened, but Hoystory comes in this week at No. 7 on the BloggerForum Top 10 Blogspot sites of the week. An explanation of the criterion for winning is located here. I read that and it's still as clear as mud exactly how you get into the Top 10. Anyway, I'd […]

Her parents -- the same ones apparently who thought Kerry a "sleazeball" last week -- have come out with a statement claiming they love Kerry and will vote for him. I'm sorry, but the parents' […]

The contest appears to be for the female half of the couple to spend one minute in a box with a bunch of tarantulas crawling all […]

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Brazil's decision to photograph and fingerprint American visitors to that nation as a lame rebuke to the fact that we do something similar to their citizens (and most other nations') when they visit the United States. We do it to try to track terrorists and others who […]

It's Presidents' Day and if you appreciate Hoystory and wish to send a few presidents my way, there's Amazon and Paypal links on the left. I'd also like to mention the Google ads, which are great for transferring funds from various Democrat campaigns to Hoystory. If you see a Howard Dean or John Kerry ad, […]

The Alabama National Guard base commander who Democrats have cited as an authority on "Bush never showed up" claim, suffers from Alzheimer's. Retired Brig. Gen. William Turnipseed, the 187th's Tactical Reconnaissance Group's former commander, recanted his statement that he couldn't remember if Bush reported for duty, now saying his memory is faulty because he's in […]
