The news is a little old, but when the economy tanked and the California government was faced with a large budget deficit, Gov. Gray Davis announced a hiring freeze. It turned out the freeze wasn't exactly real, and since then the state has hired about 9,000 additional workers. According to a report in the Sacramento […]

It would be nice to do this as a full-time job, but I don't have that luxury. NRO's Byron York does a thorough and honest analysis of Bush's Harken Energy "scandal" -- pointing out a variety of misleading and false charges by The New York Times' Paul Krugman. Regarding the late filing of SEC Form […]

Thanks to Instapundit for pointing out this article by Julie Hilden over at Findlaw.com on the Bush v. Gore case that decided the 2000 presidential election. Hilden illustrates that the justices' 5-4 decision in favor of Bush was not based on politics, but on solid, consistent legal reasoning. Recall that in Bush v. Gore, the […]

Last week Wendy McElroy took the California Chapter of the National Organization for Women to task for their biased and fundamentally flawed "report" on the injustices suffered by women in family courts.

[T]he Islamic world represses women, spawns terrorism, is prone to war, resists democracy and has contributed remarkably few great scientists or writers to modern civilization. So […]

I'm beginning to think that my own paper's James Goldsborough may provide more fodder than Krugman ever has. In today's paper, Goldsborough tags President Bush as a new-isolationist for not blindly following the advice of elite opinion-makers on the other side of the pond. If the Bush administration had deliberately set out to drive America's […]

On Friday morning I felt a little relieved that The New York Times' Paul Krugman column didn't appear on Friday, so I wouldn't feel the need to critique it before I left for my weekend in San Luis Obispo. (The wedding was beautiful by the way.) So, when I returned home on Sunday afternoon I […]

I'm leaving for the weekend to attend a wedding -- not mine. But take a look at John Fund's piece on today's Wall Street Journal opinion page. It's looking more and more that if GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon can avoid being heavily damaged by attack ads from Gov. Gray Davis' huge campaign war chest, […]

No posting today. Likely no posting tomorrow. I'll be out all day celebrating my 30th birthday. If you want to give me a present -- use the Amazon.com tip jar on the left.
