Was watching an O'Reilly Factor segment on this new requirement at some high schools in the San Fernando have for attendence at graduation ceremonies. The schools are requiring students to have plans to attend a college or join the military. Erika Karres, a professor at University of North Carolina demonstrated that she is a thick-skulled […]

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, […]

Legal vs. Illegal: U.S. News and World Report columnist Michael Barone, in a letter to Hoystory, makes the point much more clearly than I do that there is a big difference between tax "avoidance" and tax "evasion." I just read your comments on the execrable Paul Krugman's column. Let me add one more point. Krugman […]

Islamic terrorists are the enemy. If there was any doubt before, it should have been obvious to all but the thickest Chomsky-ite after Sept. 11. As Christians we're commanded to love our enemies and to forgive. But we are also commanded to speak the truth, which is why the silence surrounding the occupation and desecration […]

Like a public restroom, Paul "Line 47" Krugman seems to collect more than his fair share of excrement. In Tuesday's New York Times Krugman attacks...wait for it...President Bush for not coming out and decrying the decision by Stanley Works, a Connecticut tool company, to move its operations overseas.

Desperately in search of factoids department: I was watching a few minutes of CNN's "Crossfire" in between innings of the Padres/Expos game earlier this evening. The topic of discussion was former President Jimmy Carter's visit to Cuba. CNN was displaying various factoids across the bottom of the game ("Calvin Coolidge was the last U.S. president […]

One more reason not to buy Chinese products: If China's persecution of Christians, the Falun Gong and democratic activists wasn't enough. The communist country is actually working people to death. Lying on her bed that night, staring at the bunk above her, the slight 19-year-old complained she felt worn out, her roommates recalled. She was […]

Why the Crusader artillery piece is unnecessary: Sen. Don Nickles (R-Okla.) on Fox News Sunday lamely attempted to defend the continued existence of the Crusader. Nickles pointed out that the North Koreans reportedly have an artillery piece which is better than our current artillery piece, the Paladin. Brit Hume asked the key and insightful question: […]

Wolf Blitzer has Hanan Ashrawi, a Palestinian legislator, on CNN's "Late Edition." I must admit that I'm sick and tired of hearing their lies go without a challenge. O'Reilly and Keyes don't let them spout their revisionist history without challenge, but CNN seems to think that's just presenting "the Palestinian perspective." Go ahead and let […]
