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. Times, which covered the same event (the release of Chief Justice Rehnquist’s annual report on the judiciary) in very different ways. Today I want to provide another example of two stories from the L.A. Times and Washington Post […]

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. One poster put up a list of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and such dating back to 1815, putting some of their […]

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 […]

Tony Snow has given RWN another mention on his blog, “Meanwhile, Right-Wing News has published its much anticipated roster of Most Annoying Liberals. Of course, Michael Moore wins, but check out the other contenders! “ It’s nice to know that somebody at Fox is reading RWN every once in a while. Ted Rall has also […]

Ann Coulter, whom I’ve interviewed twice (here and here) has posted an out-of-country interview with her as part of her latest column. Since it’s only half the column, I don’t feel too bad about posting the whole thing here. Coulter is brutally funny in this interview and I think you’ll enjoy it… Interview by Carlos […]

“I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean – nothing more nor less.” — Humpty Dumpty from Alice in Wonderland There is no word in politics today that is misused by more people than the word “neocon.” I’ve talked about this subject before, more than once, but something that happened […]

Fark has a fantastic Michael Moore photoshop thread up right now. Here’s my favorite so far… Is that classic Michael Moore or what? =D Hat tip to Farker Killer Miller for making this graphic.

This post from the Daily Kos really chafes me, although sadly, the attitude displayed in it is fairly typical of how most left-wingers seem to view foreign policy today. The post is about the American soldiers killed and wounded in an attack on a dining hall in Mosul. Here’s how Kos views it: The post […]

Here we are in an overwhelmingly Christian country, celebrating a Christian holiday, and we have public schools that are petrified to let a bunch of 3rd graders sing “O Little Child of Bethlehem” at a Christmas holiday concert. They’re afraid that one day they’ll just be having a simple Christmas concert and the next day […]

Of late, Christie Whitman & Arnold Schwarzenegger have come out for moving the GOP to the center. Here’s what Arnold had to say, “In an interview with Germany’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily, Schwarzenegger said that “the Republican Party currently covers only the spectrum from the right wing to the middle, and the Democratic Party covers the […]

Hat tip to Flame Girl from Fark who posted this satirical pic in an upcoming Photoshop thread that isn’t available on the main site yet.

Ya know, I have been pleased with a lot of what George Bush has been trying to do since he won his second term. He has been talking tough about fiscal discipline, he intends to make sure we get the job done in Iraq, he wants tort reform, Social Security reform, tax reform…let me give […]

It started out well enough. A DUer, to his credit, posted a thread called Castro loving is a problem. Hey, that’s worthy of a little applause isn’t it? I mean how many Democrats are willing to confront the wackos in their party who give them a bad name? Of course, there were some more DUers […]

There is an enormous amount of misinformation about Social Security being put out of late, primarily by Democrats who oppose George Bush’s reform of the program. However, the Wall Street Journal does an admirable job of correcting the record. Here are the relevant parts from their editorial…. “Back in the 1930s, when the country was […]

Dave Barry explains why dogs rule and cats drool in his latest column….Ok, he doesn’t really say “cats drool” per se, but that’s probably what he meant because you know, cats are like ugh, so he really doesn’t need to write it…. “I’m trying to convince my wife that we need a dog. If we’re […]

There was a time when, if you wrote or spoke out against the United Nations, you would be dismissed as some right-wing kook, a nutcase who saw conspiracies or was some kind of isolationist who didn’t understand the need for an international forum where the problems of the world could be resolved without resort to […]
