So, the Palestinians are able to continue […]

Tomorrow, John Jacob and Chris Cannon are going to go head to head in a Republican primary, in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District. Cannon is a 5-term incumbent with an excellent conservative record — except on illegal immigration, where he supports the Senate amnesty plan.

Peter King cited The New York Times in particular for publishing a story last week that the Treasury Department was working with the CIA to examine messages within a massive international database of money-transfer records.

Courtesy of the New York Times, here’s some of the most demeaning marriage advice you’ve ever seen from some devil-shrew named Amy Sutherland: “I love my husband.

Richard Morin at the WAPO presents these captivating study results: “Are Republicans stingy but principled while Democrats are generous but racist? “I wouldn’t put it quite so starkly,” said Stanford University professor Shanto Iyengar.

One of the wacky tricks that the left used in the 2004 elections was to suggest a draft themselves and then use the buzz that created as evidence that the Republicans would actually have a military draft if Bush was reelected. That sounds completely nonsensical, but it’s exactly what they did, and because their pals […]

Over at the Daily Kos, there’s a recommended diary at krazypuppy, that explains that the terrorist ring down in Miami was busted — get ready for this — in order to distract people from John Kerry’s attempts to cut’n’run in Iraq.

Yesterday, the champion of the unhinged left in the blogosphere, Markos Moulitsas Zúniga went after the liberals at the New Republic for roughing him up on the Ko$ola story. “This is what the once-proud New Republic has evolved into — just another cog of the Vast RIGHT Wing Conspiracy. If you still hold a subscription […]

“The duo of Eric Lichtblau and James Risen have published the details of yet another classified national-security program.

Over at Think Progress, they’re using Dan Bartlett’s courtesy against him: “Matt Lauer gave Bush councelor Dan Bartlett the opportunity to point out one person “calling for the white flag of surrender.” Bartlett couldn’t do it. LAUER: The white flag of surrender — that’s a very dramatic and harsh expression to use against the Democrats. […]

Last night, Ann Coulter was on Hannity and Colmes and they discussed the Murtha “fragging” comment she made in the interview with RWN that went up last night. That interview is the gift that keeps on giving publicity to her and to RWN…

“I think An Inconvenient Truth is a convenient starting point for changing hearts and minds on the global warming issue. But in order to truly make a difference, I believe it needs some sort of marketing tie-in. People need to know this problem hits close to home. And they need to know it transcends mere […]
