The Surge And An Offer To The Left On The War

According to four star general, “Dingy” Harry Reid, the surge has failed, “Top US congressional Democrats bluntly told President George W. Bush Wednesday that his Iraq troop “surge” policy was a failure. Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter, ahead […]

 

Listening To Talk Radio at 2:50 AM

It was almost 3 AM and unfortunately, I had watched almost everything I had saved on Tivo, I didn’t have any movies from Netflix in, and I didn’t feel like listening to music. So, for the first time at this hour of the night, I turned on my local talk radio station. I didn’t catch […]

Dan Rather, Katie Couric, And The Death Spiral Of CBS News

From Newsbusters, As already noted on NewsBusters, former CBS anchor Dan Rather appeared on Monday’s edition of “Morning Joe” and lobbied for a “a strategic withdrawal from Iraq.” He also found time to twice bash his “Evening News” successor Katie Couric for dumbing down and tarting up the news. After giving the standard caveat that […]

 




The Amnesty Bill Is Going To Rise From The Dead

Folks, I hate to tell you this, but I am hearing that the Senate amnesty bill is going to be coming back up for another vote, probably within a month’s time. Translation: The arrogant “noblemen” AKA as senators are furious that mere peasants AKA as “you” have thwarted their amnesty bill and no matter how […]

 



Justice For Genarlow Wilson?

Back on January 25th, I wrote about Genarlow Wilson, a 17-year-old who was sentenced to 10 years in jail for receiving consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old. Wilson’s case was particularly grating because of some bizarre quirks of Georgia law, “When he was a senior in high school, he received oral sex from a 10th […]

 


Are We Fighting To Win In Iraq?

If this is true — and I do mean “if,” because I am not so sure that it is — everyone involved with making this decision should be forced to resign. “The insurgents who kill our young soldiers are ruthless, but we have sometimes been cautious in our response. Take the question of targeting bomb […]

Responses To Email From “Truthers”

After writing my Proving The 9/11 Conspiracists Wrong column for Townhall last week (it finished just outside the top 10 for the week), as you’d expect, I received a lot of email from deranged truthers who insist that 9/11 was an inside job. So, I thought it might be interesting to post some excerpts from […]

 

So When Does The Catholic Jihad Start?

Uh oh… “US President George W Bush drew gasps at the Vatican on Saturday by referring to Pope Benedict XVI as “sir” instead of the expected “His Holiness”, pool reporters said.” So when do we get the follow-up articles that start out like this, “Today, tens of thousands of outraged Catholics took to the streets […]
