New York Times columnist Paul Krugman demonstrates this fact yet again. In short, Krugman believes that California's economy is bad -- and it's Bush's fault. Then Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger concurs. Krugman says to himself: "I can't be agreeing with a Republican." Then Krugman comes out with a column saying California's economy is doing great.

A picture is worth a thousand words, or, at least in this case, is like the muse, inspiring a thousand words. (It's a figure of speech -- I didn't count).

An editorial in today's Wall Street Journal on the Ten Commandments debate includes this note on the federal judicial nomination process and the ideology/religion litmus test being imposed by the Senate Democrats.

Or at least his polling company. I just spent about 15 minutes on the phone with a polling company asking my opinion on the California recall and the possible candidates to replace Gov. Gray Davis. This is the second time in about nine months that I've gotten polled. The last time was about a rather […]

The Treasury Dept. announces that they're freezing the funds of five groups believed to support the terrorist group Hamas and the funds of six "top Hamas leaders." Why did we wait until after the latest bus bombing before doing this?

During the past few years one of the "hot" topics of discussion in the African-American community has been the possibility of the federal government paying reparations to the descendants of slaves.
