I'd like to congratulate the New England Patriots for their win in today's Super Bowl. For the first time in years we had a game that went down to the wire and was actually exciting. I'd also like to acknowledge my good friend, Kevin Hill, a New England-native and Patriots fan, for his dedication to […]

Matt LaBash of the Weekly Standard recently visited Cuba and was given a tour (sort-of) of the infamous Camp X-Ray. Their restroom arrangements are pretty spartan. They get a white bucket for emergency squirts, while they are instructed to hold two fingers up for the alternative. At that time, a guard shackles them and takes […]

Idiot of the day: Today's contestant is Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.). His entry: "I think what we actually heard in the State of the Union speech was the �police� State of the Union speech."

Al Gore had his coming out party yesterday in his home state of Tennessee, saying he intended to "rejoin the national debate." While agreeing with President Bush's handling of the war, Gore said that Bush was doing just about everything else wrong. (Let's just ignore the 80 percent plus approval ratings for a moment.)

Well, Saturday's Washington Post has an editorial on the decision to expand health insurance coverage to unborn babies. In the past, I've done my best to follow Associated Press conventions (abortion-rights supporters/opponents) in addressing the abortion issue, because I think that the name-calling on both sides is destructive. I'm reconsidering my position after seeing the […]

Well, I've just paid big money to upgrade this site to "Blogger Pro" status. This allows me all sorts of additional features, most notably spell-checking (you know I need it, I know I need it), and a variety of other things that will help me, help you. One of the bonuses of Blogger Pro is […]

Just got done listening to the "O'Reilly Factor." Bill had a woman from one of the abortion-rights groups on to talk about government's move to extend low-income health insurance to unborn babies. Bill attempted valiantly, but failed, to get the woman to say the words "unborn baby." No matter what he tried, she just couldn't […]

If you haven't read it yet, there's a great piece over on SatireWire on the Axis of Evil and those countries that truly are evil that Bush left out. Notably China, Syria and Libya. Here's a taste: Beijing (SatireWire.com) � Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria […]

Pat Oliphant has a great cartoon that touches on President Bush's speech.

They don't know they're biased: Yesterday the Department of Health and Human Services, headed by Tommy Thompson, announced that it was extending government-funded health insurance for low-income mothers to their "fetuses" too. Out came the cries of anguish from abortion-rights supporters that this was a back-alley (nice touch, huh?) approach to overturning Roe v. Wade. […]
