It is better to be thought a fool...

...than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Actress Susan Sarandon has a commercial out opposing the war with Iraq. Now, there are some reasonable and principled arguments to oppose a war, but it wasn't too long ago that liberals disliked tyrants. Certainly Slobodan Milosevic and his attempted ethnic-cleansing of Muslims in Albania qualified. […]

State of the Union

I didn't get to watch much of the State of the Union speech tonight -- I was working on designing editorial pages for tomorrow's paper. But I've read it and I have to say the line of the night was near the end of the speech: "The liberty we prize is not America's gift to […]

The only polls that matter

Are those held on the first Tuesday of November every two years. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman offers a preview of tonight's State of the Union speech, and declares it lacking. Krugman points to polls showing that support for Bush has "plunged over the last two months." He continues: A year ago he was, […]

An unlikely ally

Author John Irving has a solid and persuasive critique of the implementation of Title IX -- the implementation that has vastly reduced the number of minor mens sports at universities across the nation. How many days will it take before the militant feminist lobby turns on Irving, the longtime abortion-rights supporter? I predict a press […]

Liberal bias and the academy

The San Diego Union-Tribune last week ran an article entitled "Some see widespread liberal bias at colleges." Surprised? I didn't think so. The article isn't really anything that people who read National Review or The Weekly Standard or heck -- went to college -- didn't know before. What is surprising is some of the letters […]

George Will's diversity test

If you missed columnist George Will's proposed ideological diversity test for the University of Michigan, then take it here (scroll down). I scored a 130. (I don't believe Ohio State is part of the axis of evil and I wasn't home-schooled.)

Usually I don't like blowouts...

...but the one exception is when the Oakland Raiders are on the receiving end. The Tampa Bay Bucaneers made mincemeat out of the vaunted Raiders offense -- with Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon throwing 5 touchdown passes -- including three to various members of the Bucs' defense.

The book is good, but the movie is better

Or at least more fun. I'm referring to Steven Spielberg's latest movie, "Catch me if you can." The movie is the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. -- a notorious con man and check forger who stole millions of dollars before his 20th birthday. Abagnale posed as an airline pilot, a medical doctor, a lawyer […]

Today's sign of the apocalypse

The only thing worse than this is if he actually wins.

I'm exhausted

Just got back from working a way too-long day. So, contrary to earlier reports (see below), there won't be a lot of blogging. But I would like to point out this from the Media Research Center. In contrast to how all the networks featured soundbites from likable marchers in the anti-war protest over the weekend, […]
