Year: 2005

Alberto Gonzales, President Bush’s Attorney General nominee, told the Senate Judiciary Committee today that he would state only his name, rank, date of birth and Air Force serial number, which is all that is required under the terms of the Geneva Conventions. Mr. Gonzales, who faces criticism from Democrat senators over a memo he wrote […]

In his remarks in Madison County, President Bush claimed that he has a mandate for tort reform: I talked about it everywhere I went on the campaign — nearly everywhere I went on the campaign trail, and I believe the voters made their position clear on election day about medical liability. As regular readers know, […]

Here are my favorite 20 political websites on the net (non-blogs), in order. Do keep in mind that these sort of lists change all the time. Websites go up and down, pages come on and go off the list, etc, etc. With that being said, here are my current selections… 20) Tech Central Station 19) […]

When imaginary reporters ask me for advice, I respond. Cub Reporter: I’ve got to do a piece on a recent US victory in Iraq, but my editor told me know that even though we’re covering this story to claim “balance” in our reporting I still have to find a way to leave readers demoralized and […]

I watched the movie “Troy” tonight — which I thought was the best movie of 2004 even if it isn’t true to the original story — and there was an exchange early in the movie between Achilles and mother, the goddess Thetis… Thetis: If you stay here, with me, with your family, you’ll have a […]

I know I’m a few days late, and RightWingDuck already did some on my site, but here are my predictions for 2005. Since I didn’t have a crystal ball, I instead consulted crystal meth. PREDICTIONS FOR 2005 * Michael Moore will make a new “documentary” trying to expose the Iraq war as evil. To do […]

Now Patton, that’s one cute dog!

The owner of the Dallas Mavericks, billionaire Mark Cuban, suggests that George Bush cancel the inauguration and send the money to the tsunami victims…. “Could there be anything more confusing and shocking than to read that our country was offering $35mm in aid to the areas affected by the Tsunamis, but that the cost of […]

Now here’s a Canuck, Toronto Sun columnist Peter Worthington, who gets it… “Thank goodness for the Americans. What would this world would be like without the U.S.? Especially in times of natural disasters like the Boxing Day tsunami that killed so many and shocked the world into unprecedented humanitarian generosity. …The U.S. initial pledge of […]

Today, I ran across a column by Neal Peirce in the Seattle Times called Legalizing street drugs an experiment worth considering. Since I’m an ardent supporter of the war on drugs, I thought it might be a good idea to fisk the article. Peirce’s words appear in italics and mine follow… WASHINGTON — Can a […]

Yesterday I told you about two stories, one from the Washington Post and one from the L.A.

Any left-wing conspiracy nut can speculate that the Bush administration rigged the election. But, the really imaginative members of the “reality based community” can take it a step futher. For example, these folks at the Democratic Underground not only think that the election was fixed, but that Karl Rove was behind it, and that George […]

Jeff Lastname has pointed out to me that some of the folks at the Al Maghrib Forums, an American Muslim bulletin board, are convinced that natural disasters are caused by Christians celebrating their holy days.

You know, I was pleased, but not the least bit surprised to hear about the enormous amount of aid being given to the tsunami victims by the US gov’t (350 million — so far), American citizens (44+ million to the Red Cross alone), & our corporations (40+ million in goods and services). However, I was […]

Almost two months after election day, Democrat strategists continue to debate John Kerry’s loss to George Bush, wondering how Mr. Kerry failed to lose by a landslide. “It’s baffling,” said Democrat National Committee (DNC) Chairman Terry McAuliffe, “He had all the earmarks of a devastating, 10-million-vote, 49-state defeat. And yet he only lost by a […]
