The Chinese government has sentenced a U.S.-based dissident to life in prison after it kidnapped him from neighboring Vietnam.

Sen. Carl Levin was on Fox News Sunday earlier today, and I'm watching the recording of it. Let me say that I think Sen. Levin is a very limber man. The mental contortions that he's having to go through to oppose military action in Iraq while acknowledging that government's violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution […]

Steven Stalinsky, the executive director of MEMRI, had an interesting article on the anti-Christian and anti-Jew indoctrinaiton/education that goes on in Saudi Arabia. In summary, what the Saudis have been saying in English doesn't jive with what they've been saying in Arabic -- nothing new.

Speaking before Powell's speech […]

Back when the Bush administration refused to sign on to the farce, liberal commentators insisted the United States really had nothing to fear and that it was a sign of contempt for the international community not to join. Well, this just goes to show you that Bush was right. Criminy, we haven't even done anything […]

Bush's proposed budget increases funding for IRS audits. An increasing number of IRS audits would certainly target the wealthy, as the article makes clear.
