Is Al Gore our next Jesus Christ? Looks like Time Magazine is building the case. Prophet not accepted in his own country? Check Persecuted and reviled? Check Preaching the Truth to save us? Check A loyal band of disciples? Check Sentenced to death for his beliefs? Well, okay. We’re not there yet. But if you [...]
When I read this story, I didn’t get as upset as some did yesterday. Booed mercilessly at the Miss Universe pageant by a Mexican audience angry at U.S. immigration policy, and seen by millions of TV viewers as she slipped and fell on the pageant stage, Miss USA Rachel Smith nonetheless managed to take the [...]
Well here we go again. An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame’s employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was “covert” when her name became public in July 2003. The summary is part of an attachment [...]
Linda Chavez, long-time conservative policy wonk and columnist, has completely lost her ever-loving mind. Some people just don’t like Mexicans — or anyone else from south of the border.

Conservative Democrats in the Blue Dog [...]
I was all set to write a long post about the so-called Immigration Reform bill that’s sliming its way through Congress. I ended up deleting the whole thing after reading this post by Andy McCarthy. As a human being, I want to support legalization, even though everything in my experience tells me it is always [...]
Here is the Immigration Bill, annotated and in easy-to-digest chunks, thanks to N.Z. Bear. The genesis of how it came to be and a couple tips on what to do with it are here. (via Instapundit) Word on the street is that the bill is already dead before it hits the Senate floor. There will [...]
Mark Steyn on the so-called Immigration Reform bill: Don’t worry: It’s not an “amnesty.” Every politician in America is opposed to amnesty — if not the concept, then at least the word.
