What, They Couldn’t Wheel Byrd In for That?
From Jonah Goldberg, I see that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took a few seconds to advance the cause of bipartisanship today: “When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.” It’s a shame [...]
Panel Says ACORN A-OK. Also, Panel of Foxes Exonerate Fox from Charges of Henhouse-Raiding.
I’m so glad that’s settled. An internal investigation of the community-organizing group ACORN found no pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staffers on undercover videos shot by conservative critics of the group. In a 47-page assessment that former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger was commissioned by the organization to do, he criticized ACORN’s management [...]
Power of Flight on Loan from God!

One of the most persistent memes the left uses in its government-run sales pitch is that even if government-run health care will lead to longer waits for health care, at least it won’t reject claim down like those evil (i.e. money-grubbing) private insurance companies. Well, guess what? Mark Hemingway found that the AMA, which actually [...]
Just Invent This, Science People, and Don’t Give Me No Jibber-Jabber!
I’ve decided that someone out there needs to invent the Mohawk Grenade for real. What’s a Mohawk Grenade? I’m glad you asked. Behold! Tell me you didn’t immediately think of five people you’d target tomorrow if only you had a handful of those babies. By the way, I still love Mr. T.
