Torture Trials? By All Means, Let’s Have Them!
I was all set this morning to sit down and write a longish essay on the alleged torture memos, the left’s salivation over potential “truth commissions”, and why, after spending a couple days reading news reports and commentary on the subjects, I think we should have those hearings. But now I can’t because Noam Emerie [...]
This is Why He is Alexander the Great
Is Alexander Ovechkin the best player in all of hockey? Well, you tell me. Count the amazing moves. There are four of them.
Jack Murtha’s Airport to Mostly Nowhere
The man who secured all this pork — money that belonged to you until he and his Congressional friends decided they needed it to buy votes — is the Democrats’ #3 man in the House. Think about that. He’s spent millions of our dollars on a barely-used airport and the Democrats promoted him.
Into the Archives: Government Glad for Gas Guzzlers
Blogging was light today, mostly because I spent some time getting caught up on other tasks I’ve let slide lately. Also, I went to my first ballgame of the year tonight.

The furor began when Napolitano was asked to clarify statements she had made about equal treatment for the Mexican and Canadian borders, despite the fact that [...]
Into the Archives: Music Reviews and Thoughts on Friendship and Evil
Yearly Celebration Week kicks off with a couple oldies but goodies from this time last year. As it happens, I wasn’t feeling particularly political one evening and decided to try my hand at reviewing some music. Here’s what came out, and here’s how I finished up. Now, since these are Police songs, you won’t find [...]
What You’ve Heard About Waterboarding is Wrong
Well, color me shocked. It turns out that most of what we’ve heard about waterboarding this week from our objective, professional, dedicated to truth media has been wrong. A Corner exclusive: How many times have you read and heard in the mainstream media that terrorists were waterboarded more than 180 times? It turns out that’s [...]
