The Viking Pundit has an interesting anecdote on what the Democrats in the Senate are willing to fight for, and what they're not.

The San Diego Union-Tribune publishes one whopper of a correction in its Opinion section -- and it involves a blogger. In a Jan. 15. follow-up to his Jan. 12 column, "More deceptions to justify war actions," James O. Goldsborough stated that Fox News was the source of a bogus 1945 Reuters news dispatch that may […]

Random thoughts, as they occur (on the tape I'm watching) in Thursday night's debate. Sen. John Kerry claims that only people who make more than $200,000 got a tax cut from the Bush tax cuts. Not only is it false, but it's unbelievable that he'd try to peddle that line. Gov. Howard Dean still doesn't […]

The New York Times most irrelevant columnist, Paul Krugman, takes on new electronic voting machines in his latest column. No big deal. Nothing egregiously partisan in the article, except for the first paragraph. [T]he disputed election of 2000 left a lasting scar on the nation's psyche. A recent Zogby poll found that even in red […]

Once upon a time I really wanted to win a Pulitzer Prize, because for journalists those things are a big deal. Then the New York Times' Maureen Dowd won one. Now, I'm not willing to undergo the brain damage caused by repeatedly bashing my head into the asphalt that would be required to compete for […]

Former GOP congressman Bill Janklow of South Dakota was sentenced today to 100 days in jail for a crash that killed a motorcyclist. Janklow was speeding (as he has an almost legendary history of doing) and ran a stop sign before killing 55-year-old Randy Scott. There are occasions when I think that mandatory sentencing guidelines […]

Earlier this month, when Carol Moseley Braun announced she was ending her presidential campaign, I suggested that she was throwing her two supporters to Howard Dean in the hopes of getting a job in a Dean administration. Well, I was right and I was wrong. Braun wanted a job, but she's not waiting until Dean […]

The Bush administration has been consistently attacked by Democrats, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other internationalists for shunning the International Criminal Court. The administration's fear was that American troops could be arrested and held on politically motivated charges. Well, it once again appears that Bush was right. British use of cluster bombs in the Iraq war […]

President Bush's State of the Union Address was like most of their ilk -- too dang long. I caught snatches of speech as I was working last night. By the time I got off work and had watched online video of the speech and the Democrat response I was to exhausted to write. Your patience […]
