Oh that John McCain. What a Maverick he is. He’s so mavericky that he’s willing to toss the First Amendment out the window if he can get his idea of “clean government”. “He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform….I know that money corrupts….I would rather [...]
You know what’s nice about this time of year? Today’s my birthday and April 26th was the second anniversary of The Shack. Pretty cool, huh?
This really does take the cake This is a real question, asked by a real MSM reporter, to the real White House Spokesman. Q It’s come to my attention that there’s been requests — this is a serious question — to turn these TVs onto a station other than Fox, and that those have been [...]
Did you know that the federal gas tax, per gallon is 18.4 cents? ConocoPhillips’ 9 cent profit was right around the industry average last year and wasn’t any larger than that of its competitor, Exxon Mobil.

I have the feeling that Matthew Yglesias will, if he’s smart, be revising these comments fairly soon. Jonah’s readers also want to make a big deal out of the fact that Sabri apparently did say that Iraq had stocks of chemical weapons. Thus, in a semantic sense, Sabri’s account supported the contention that Iraq “had [...]
Apparently, the President’s big answer to high gas prices is to investigate imaginary crimes. The article mentions the word “gouging” six times, two of them in quotes from Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and once from White House Spokesman Scott McClellan. The only problem? There’s no actual evidence that any price-gouging is going on. None. [...]
I was going to write a post this morning about gasoline prices and the visible tizzy some Dems are throwing over the oil companies, but The Jonah Goldberg beat me to it.
