Make sure you use this quote, courtesy of "Best of the Web Today." Returning from a jaunt overseas, Feinstein revealed that she came across some anti-American sentiment: "As an American, I have always been proud," Feinstein said. "I have a (U.S. flag) pin. I was embarrassed to wear it." Dianne, the proper response is to […]

The Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel demonstrates that the NAACP isn't the Democratic Party's only wholly-owned subsidiary.

I spotted this item last week over at National Review Online, but never got around to addressing it. A piece by Kathryn Jean Lopez takes Congress to task for considering a bill "allowing American servicewomen and other Prince Sultan airbase personnel to go off base without the attire the kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires all […]

Usually I like Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. While I don't always agree with him, I think he does good work -- but this week hasn't been kind to Fox News' wunderkind. Exhibit A is his participation in a Saudi public relations campaign to keep American Pat Roush's now-adult daughters in the world's largest women's prison […]

The San Diego Union-Tribune's Lionel Van Deerlin takes up the cause of the doves with his position that you're not allowed to advocate a war unless you've been in combat. Still, I have to wonder about the raucous calls we hear for storming ramparts in far-off places. Might such clamor come with greater credibility -- […]

The misogynistic Saudi regime continues to thumb its nose at the United States. Rep. Dan Burton is leading a Congressional delegation to Saudi Arabia seeking the release of American-born women being held hostage there.

So I'm starting with a clean slate. Unfortunately, as always, there are problems. It seems that my backup of my C: drive did not […]

NAACP chairman Julian Bond has an op-ed piece in Sunday's Washington Post in which he makes some pretty peculiar claims. As a longtime and now nonpartisan observer of African American politics... Nonpartisan? This is the same Julian Bond who said Bush "has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics." And... "...he has chosen […]

I took MSNBC's Eric Alterman to task for his claim that Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti was someone with whom Israel could make peace. Barghouti is the leader of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades. That's the same peace-loving group that did this: Palestinian militants shot a teenaged girl in the head and killed her on Friday […]

I'm a history buff, and I've read the definitive works on Pearl Harbor and the immediate aftermath by Gordon W. Prange. That's why the story of the discovery of the Japanese midget sub that was sighted and fired-upon by the USS Ward hours before the aerial attack commenced. While it's an interesting bit of history, […]
