Just don’t question her patriotism. A lone U.S. ambassador compromised America’s hunt for Osama bin Laden in Pakistan for more than two years,The New York Sun has learned. Ambassador Nancy Powell, America’s representative in Pakistan, refused to allow the distribution in Pakistan of wanted posters, matchbooks, and other items advertising America’s $25 million reward for [...]
Today’s Washington Post has an article that seems to be to be a good hunk of frippery and alarmism or as Shakespeare would have put it “much ado about nothing”. It seems that the safe warm nest of Federal employment is going to get a bit less safe and warm. Hundreds of thousands of federal [...]
Jay Tea from Wizbang has an Easter story I think is worth reading, and maybe worth keeping with you this summer. My Easter message? Well, I don’t really have a special one, beyond that which I’d say any other day of the year. Life is a special thing and we ought to enjoy every single [...]
It started in the Ukraine. Or perhaps it started in Georgia, in 2003. Or perhaps it started in East Germany, and Poland, and Czechoslovakia fifteen plus years ago.

UPDATE: It’s a weird old world when I look around and find Ralph Nader and Lanny Davis (President Clinton’s [...]
WARNING!!! What follows this brief couple of sentences is a rant. This rant will be about the Terri Schaivo case, so if you don’t care about the case one way or the other, you’re probably better off skipping this. Unlike most of my other posts about Terri and those folks orbiting her hospital bed, tihs [...]
Glenn Reynolds posts an excerpt from a column today on TechCentralStation. The column is by Dr. Elizabeth Whelan of the American Council on Science and Health.
