Six Degrees of Karl Rove
Thanks to the New York Times tireless efforts to link successful Texas lawyer John O’Neill to successful Texas political operative Karl Rove, I’ve invented a new game. It’s called The Six Degrees of Karl Rove. It’s just like the Kevin Bacon game, only it puts Karl Rove in the middle of the Giant Web of [...]
Friday is VDH Day!
It is! It is! The summer sun may be shining down a bit too hotly on your today. The humidity may lay all about you like a blanket full of stale horse sweat. There may be no yummy smells on the air like there was last week. But we still have Victor Davis Hanson’s weekly [...]
Hey! Two Papers in the Game
Finally – FINALLY! – the New York Times covers the Swift Boat Veterans’ allegations against John Kerry. Man, these reporters really did some digging… …into the Swift Boat Veterans’ organization itself. The entire first half talks about how John O’Neill, a successful Texas lawyer with a large law practice, represented people who know successful Texas [...]
Kerry Critic Criticized
Well, Good Lord, folks. The Swift Vets story is still out there and it’s even being picked up by major newspapers – well not the New York Times or the Washington Post – but other major newspapers. But that’s not exactly true. The Washington Post ran its first story on the Swift Boat Veterans’ criticisms [...]
More Mark Steyn!
Yes, I know I link Mark Steyn a lot. I can’t help it. I”m drawn to him like a 14 year-old girl to a Justin Timberlake poster! But how could you not love a writer who tosses off gems like these? This [US troop realignment] will undoubtedly be welcome news to the likes of Goran [...]
It’s Bush’s Fault!
I was watching the end of “Hardball” last night and I caught a great exchange involving Chris Matthews, Tad Devive (the Kerry spokesman), and Matthew Dowd (the Bush spokesman). They were talking about Tom Harkin’s calling Vice President Cheney a “coward”. Do you know why, according to the Kerry campaign, Harkin unleashed this attack? It’s [...]
Steyn, You Magnificent Bastard! I Read Your Column!
Mark Steyn – whom I want to nominate for Columnist-Laureate – has written another gem, this time about “truth”. “My truth is that I am a gay American,” announced Gov. James McGreevey to the people of New Jersey last Thursday. That’s such an exquisitely contemporary formulation: ”my” truth. Once upon a time, there was only [...]
Friday is VDH Day!
It’s time once again for my favorite columnst in the entire world, (but not the entire universe. That honor goes, again, to the brain-eating worms of Ceti-Alpha 6) Victor Davis Hanson. His new column is up on NRO and, as usual, I”ll give you a taste to whet your appetite. George Bush is a traitor [...]
