I’m test-driving a new blacklist program to try to stop all the comment spam the blog here’s been experiencing. There may be a bump or two as I figure out what options to set (though I think I have them set correctly right now), so please bear with me. (and yeah, Jon, that move to [...]
All hail the New Nostradamus, Nicole! If I’m right, watch as the left scrambles to declare that a) this has nothing at all to do with the recent elections in Iraq, and even if it did, that wouldn’t justify the war there, even though the democratic change is certainly a good thing, the war was [...]
The Syrian puppet government in Lebanon has turned in its resignation accompanied by raucous cheers from tens of thousands of Lebanese in the streets. The people of Lebanon, as represented by those protestors want Syria out of their country and they’re not willing to rest until that happens. Meanwhile, a Lebanese opposition figure called for [...]
You just know that anytime Howard Dean finds a microphone, something quotable’s going to get roared. He surely didn’t disappoint Friday speaking before a Kansas crowd of about a hundred who paid a hundred bucks a head for a Dean-style pep talk.

This is certainly an interesting story: CAIRO, Egypt – Iraqi officials said Sunday that Syrian authorities had captured Saddam Hussein’s half-brother and 29 other officials of the deposed dictator’s Baath Party in Syria and handed them over to Iraq in an apparent goodwill gesture. Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, a former Saddam adviser suspected of financing insurgents [...]
Ron Moore, producer of the new Sci Fi Channel hit Battlestar Galactica (which I love and you’ll never be able to convince me any differently!) has just leaped up to the status of Great Fracking Guy based on how he answered a question on his blog. Someone asked him why the doctor in the show [...]
I’ve been following the debate over Social Security reform from a distance over the past month and, to be honest, I”m not very impressed.
