I just received my 8th email of the day from one of my favorite org’s . . . ok, not really, it just seemed like the 8th email and it really isn’t one of my favorite organizations. The organization? PFAW (which stands for “People For The American Way”) or, as they’re wont to [...]
Just read that House Democrats are backing off their press release about 5-day work weeks, industrious Congresses, urgent people’s business, etc. (here) No biggie; but you’d probably be wise not to talk so much trash.
Waiting until after the Fiesta Bowl is more of a PR issue than anything else–the House Democrats don’t dare take their [...]
I channel-surfed upon two excellent programs on C-span and C-span2 this evening–kind of sounds like a conspiracy that C-span would be showing programs Ned would consider “excellent” during the infomercials time slot, doesn’t it? Oh well.
One program was a panel with Justices Stephen Breyer and Antonin Scalia. Very instructive about the contrasting perceptions [...]
In various sparring sessions over the war in Iraq, I notice that many Liberals flatly assert that Iraq is a distraction from the GWOT (that is, if they’re generously acknowledging that the war against Islamists requires more than strict airport screening.) I’ve asserted that Iraq was simply the next stage in the GWOT, so the various arguments marshalled for taking [...]
They say that the winners get to write the history books. Nevertheless, at the suggestion of a commienter (sic), I took the time to watch “The Darkside”–a Frontline special aired this past summer. When will I learn that if I keep up with Lefty media I can better understand and anticipate their hysterical (and [...]
This WaPo article (here, via Drudge) demonstrates the problems the “New Democrat Majority Party!” faces . . . there is no way that Pelosi & Co. can scrupulously pass their–ahem, “well publicized [legislative] plan” in 100 hours. It is impossible to allow debate on (much less full review of) their (as yet un-released) proposals in [...]
Here’s a great report (here) about the book Who Really Cares by Arthur Brooks. While the story has been out there awhile, the book and in depth study of the data is new.
Conclusions? Religiously devout people are more generous than those who are not religiously devout. Accordingly, Americans, Republicans and Conservatives are more generous because [...]
I just came across this sobering report from Policy Review (via the Corner) on the war in Iraq, which seems to be fair. If you are a Bushater, you’ll probably think it’s about right, even though it doesn’t ID Bush as the fount of all the world’s ills.
Hopefully Liberal and Democrat leaders will cooperate in the [...]
I cruised through this Washington Times article (here) about how Congressional Democrats (particularly Rahm Emanuel and his underlings) handled the reports about Mark Foley’s potentially-inappropriate contact with House pages . . . most of it seemed like old news.
But there’s something interesting in the report: it now seems clear–from testimony to the Ethics committees, that Emanuel–while head of [...]
I’ve seen all the headlines today and heard reports saying “Republicans failed to protect teen pages,” “Study: Republicans Negligent.” But I just learned while watching Anderson Cooper’s 360Degrees that Dem Congressman Rahm Emanuel (head of DCCC, the committee to elect a Democrat majority) and several Democrat congressional staffers knew about the emails at least a year [...]
