The San Diego Union-Tribune's Nick Canepa takes Martina Navratilova to task for her anti-American statements. It's worth a read. My favorite line: She says decisions here are based on money, and many are, which is why we may be stuffing our Christmas stockings with Martha Stewart license plates. I'm not saying money is the only […]

I've believed for years that the National Organization for Women's time has come and gone. Fox News columnist Wendy McElroy provides evidence that NOW is just nuts. I haven't seen any articles in any newspapers about the CANOW report -- but I would be very disappointed in any paper that reported this thing seriously. It […]

Yasser Arafat says that President Bush wasn't talking about him when the president called for new Palestinian leadership earlier this week. WASHINGTON -- President Bush decided to call for Yasser Arafat's removal after receiving intelligence information last week showing that the Palestinian leader had authorized a $20,000 payment to a group that claimed responsibility for […]

Reader Tim Witkowski notes offers this tidbit in response to Krugman's suggestion that it is somehow un-American to arrange your finances to minimize your tax bill. Further to your expose of Krugman's campaign of deliberate misinformation, a venerable principle in tax law, perhaps best articulated by the famous Judge Learned Hand in Helvering v. Gregory, […]

Well, you can't always trust what you read on the Internet. I'm usually the skeptical one. When I get those e-mails warning about some new virus, I check it out first. When I get e-mails suggesting that Madeline Murray O'Hair is suing the FCC to ban the broadcast of Christmas songs, I patiently point out […]

Vice President Dick Cheney's drunken, brawling, Tyson-esque Secret Service agents won't be facing charges for thier part in a brawl that left a local man missing part of his ear. The North County Times reported that the whole situation was so muddled that no one could be convicted of anything. Whatever the comment, a fight […]

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released its real report [Adobe Acrobat required] on Muslim civil rights in America on Tuesday. One interesting theme that appears to run throughout the report is that CAIR believes, either naively or stupidly, that the events of Sept. 11 would result in no backlash against Arabs or Muslims. Well, in […]

Following up on my post about ABC's "The Bachelor," it appears that I was right about Alex Michel being something less than chivalrous. It turns out he's a lecherous piece of scum. Blogger Alex Rubalcava has posted some e-mails reportedly making their way through Harvard circles. Included is one reportedly from "the Bachelor" in which […]

Fresh from alleging brutal atrocities at Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Amnesty International is now screaming bloody murder -- literally. Amnesty International has done its best since Sept. 11 to become the embodiment of the proverbial "boy who cried wolf." The most curious comments in the article came from a Scotsman. Forensic pathologist Derrick […]

I missed this last week when I read Newsweek columnist Anna Quindlen the riot act over her anti-man-all-women-are-victims-and-men-should-just-go-away-forever essay, but Stanley Kurtz wrote a great essay taking Quindlen and the New York Times' Maureen Dowd to task and suggesting a new holiday. Here, I think, we have the germ of an idea for a simply […]
