Matt Drudge is reporting that MoveOn.org, the rabid, anti-war, anti-Bush Web site/liberal interest group has been soliciting funds from abroad in an effort to affect political change here in the United States. Funding from non-citizens to affect national elections is illegal. During the Clinton administration, the Chinese funneled money to help re-elect the president. Restauranteur […]

I've got a mess of explorer windows open to various stories that I've been meaning to share, and it's time to close some of them. So here they are: The Los Angeles Times reports on how fewer than 1,000 soldiers took on much of the Iraqi Army and militia in the heart of Baghdad. An […]

Usually Spamcatcher does an excellent job of filtering the tons of spam I get daily, but sometimes it's a little overzealous, so I scan through it periodically. Imagine my surprise when I got the following e-mail, it has been edited slightly so I can keep my PG rating intact. Subject: Fake ID for Muslims Need […]

Paul Krugman's favorite blogger, the anonymous Atrios, has the following "thoughts" on the capture of the Butcher of Baghdad: These are just some unorganized idle thoughts before I've had a cup of coffee.

This is certainly troubling, and I'm sure that industrialization […]

Bush is standing by his decision on barring certain "allies" from being primary contractors rebuilding a country they didn't think was important enough to liberate from a brutal tyrant. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder apparently made some comments that "international law must apply to awarding of contracts." International law? International law dictates how the American taxpayers […]

From Friday's corrections page: An article in the special Flight section on Tuesday about the aviation designer Burt Rutan misidentified the university from which he graduated. It is California Polytechnic State University, not the California Polytechnic Institute. And don't you forget it! Go Mustangs!

The Supreme Court's decision is merely on the BCRA on its face. More lawsuits will come on the actual application of the law. The Supreme Court will likely revisit the case when someone is fined or prosecuted by the Federal Election Commission. I want to be one of those people. As Starr has said, individuals […]

Once again, the link to the decisuon itself is here. I haven't read the majority opinion, and I'm not going to, because on its face I believe it's bogus. There's no way that stifling criticism of federal candidates in the weeks leading up to election day is a boon for the democratic process. I've read […]
