Reid’s Thanksgiving Blues

Last week, Harry Reid complained that President Bush was acting like a “bully” right before he decided to keep the Senate in session during the Thanksgiving break to avoid any “controversial” recess appointments. Roll Call reports that sources said “Reid made the decision after he was unable to strike a deal with White House officials […]

Their day in court

Dahlia Lithwick writes perceptively about how critical it is that litigants — especially in family court — feel they have been heard by the court: Last week in Las Vegas, Reno, Nev., millionaire Darren Mack shocked the court by pleading guilty, midtrial, to killing his estranged wife, Charla, in June 2006. . . . In […]

The Death Penalty: Data Backs Common Sense

You know how everyone intuitively understands that the death penalty stops some (not all) criminals? Among friends, I’ve had discussions where people wonder why anyone would commit a murder in Texas. Criminals seem absolutely terrified of being extradited to Texas for good reason. In Texas, they get killed, good and dead. You know how all […]

America’s Most Trusted News Source?

Earlier this week, Chris and I were watching a CNN investigative report on the use of performance enhancing dugs in professional wrestling. I don’t know why Chris wanted to watch it, since neither of us are wrestling fans, but I generally let her have her way with the TV. The thrust of the hour-long show […]

Ban Moon: Climate Change The Defining Challenge Of Our Age

I seriously love these pompous, sanctimonious blowhards who bloviate about global warming VALENCIA, Spain, Nov. 17 — Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, describing climate change as “the defining challenge of our age,” released the final report of a United Nations panel on climate change here on Saturday and called on the United States and China to […]

Right wing, Jewish and Saudi-perplexed

What does a small-c-conservative Jew do with the Saudis? Their latest exercise (or perhaps merely their latest one to draw worldwide attention) in medieval brutality, in which a female rape victim has been “sentenced” for her “crime” (see here for a more precise explanation of what really happened) is already well known on the Web. […]

Our Forgotten Revolution

“The American Revolution has ceased to be a story that we tell in our popular culture.” That’s a quote from New York Historical Society Curator Richard Rabinowitz, answering a question in a recent Associated Press article about the forgotten history of Marquis de Lafayette, a man instrumental in helping our American revolutionaries succeed in throwing […]

The New Jena Six

Except this time, it’s the Lakeport One. One, because the other two were shot and killed in a robbery. Three black men broke into the home of the Edmonds family, who are white. They tore through the house, demanding marijuana, and beat homeowner Shannon Edmonds’ 19-year-old stepson, Dale Lafferty, almost to death with a baseball […]

Say Thank You

This Thanksgiving, the Department of Defense is partnering with major cell phone providers so that you can send “thank you” text messages to the troops fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world. It is called “The Giving Thanks Campaign.” A couple of seconds of your time, and your kind words will reach American troops […]

America Hates Rosie O’Donnell

You’d think that, by now, that would be obvious to her. She’s just one of those people we’ll continue to tolerate, but secretly hope that they are negotiating to Canada, where they will move, live and die in liberal paradise (likely because of universal health care, but that’s an entirely different can of worms). We […]

Slatecard

Pat Out Of Hell

Let’s review: – The 700 Club has approximately 850,000 viewers – The population of the United States of America is 300 million – Do the math Pat Robertson’s continued high profile has everything to do with the liberal mainstream media’s religious illiteracy and its need for a cartoon character to represent those “Evil Right Wing […]

Cloning Pioneer Confirms: No Need to Use Human Embryos

Many conservatives believe that human life begins at conception, and that destruction of human embryos in scientific research, such as cloning research, is wrong. Meanwhile, the left often claims that those who object to research using human embryos are standing in the way of scientific progress and saving lives. That claim was presented rather dramatically, […]

Q&A Friday #78: “Protests” That Block Supplies To The Troops

Question: “What’s your opinion on the Olympia “activists” who have been blocking military shipments to and from the base there, with such tactics as bringing toddlers along and pouring cement on railroad tracks?” — The_Senator Answer: You don’t have a First Amendment right to block traffic and they shouldn’t be allowed to do so. If […]

Q&A Friday #78: Fred Thompson’s Immigration Plan

“Fred Thompson’s immigration plan seems to include a contradiction. He promises to bolster border security, yet his plan relies on “attrition through enforcement”, or the self-deportation of illegals going back to Mexico. Illegals can not exit through a secure border, nor is it likely that they will attempt to if they have no way to […]

Q&A Friday #78: A “Brokeback Mountain” Game

Question: Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is in a bit of trouble after some postgame comments: “The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory on Tuesday night, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters. “We call this a ‘Brokeback Mountain’ game, because there’s so much penetration and […]
