The FBI’s new intelligence gathering policies must be watched closely to prevent abuse. What shocked me was learning that agents couldn’t to go public places or search for counterterrorist information on the Internet unless they had approval. That means agents couldn’t even do a simple Google search on bin Laden links in the […]
It’s good to know that San Francisco, that bastion of free speech, doesn’t respect the speech of pro-lifers. Am I shocked at the hypocricy? No. That area is governed by liberals with a mindset where their political beliefs are precious, but the opposition’s are evil and must be squelched.
“Pro-lifers Censored in San Francisco”

Great, another season of watching a decrepit, hobbled Ozzy wandering around cursing incoherently. I watched a few episodes and do not understand the buzz. Instead of laughing at this family, I felt sorry for them. Ozzy’s home life consists of painting in what looks like a coloring book, while complaining about pets. […]
If it has any decent amount of gameplay, America’s Army could be one of the most effective pieces of wartime propaganda in U.S. history. The Army is giving the game away for free, so their goal must be to get as many teens playing this game as possible. After completing missions in the […]
No shock in this small corner of the Web over Brian Williams as Tom Brokaw’s replacement. I saw it back when he became the number one pretty face at newly-created MSNBC. What Williams won’t be able to do is bring viewers back to network evening news. All-news cable channels and the Internet […]
Prediction time: No one will ever be convicted for the murder of Chandra Levy. I base this on the following quotes of Dr. Jonathan Arden, D.C.’s chief medical examiner:
In this case there was not sufficient evidence to ascertain conclusively the specific injury that caused her death.
It is possible that we will never know the […]
Rod Dreher had the Bayou at LSU. While going to UMD, I had the Anchor–even though it was across the bridge in Superior, WI. Just like the Bayou, the Anchor was a dive. The chairs, stools, and tables were old. The doors to the bathrooms didn’t completely close. There was […]
I’m still hunting for the Gould-Marx connection. Here’s a paragraph from the Times of London obituary:
Yet Gould never allowed his political radicalism - which he espoused sometimes in circumstances that demanded a good measure of personal courage - to compromise his belief in individual human rights. Marxism is now long out of fashion, but […]
To all those who are serving or have served to defend the U.S., thank you. Your sacrifice is not forgotten around here.

It was too daunting a task for the newly created Transportation Security Administration to have federal workers running airport security checkpoints by 11.19. The TSA is now resorting to $500 bonuses to keep current security workers from finding other jobs until they’re fully trained or replacements are found.
Airport security was passed only for Congress […]
I may slap someone silly if I hear anyone cry out about the planet running out of room for people. Japan’s worried that their population will begin decreasing by 2007. The U.N. says Japan would need to bring in millions of workers just to stabilize the workforce.
If this happens (population predictions have bounced […]
The EU says they don’t want a trade war with the U.S. over steel tarrifs. The Reuters story mentioned talks that would lower tarrifs on other goods to make up for increased steel tarrifs. It would tick off U.S. farmers but don’t be surprised if agricultural duties are lowered. Bush gave farmers […]
The Culture of Death rears its ugly head. I’m apalled by Cynthia Fields’ comment:
The doctor took away my rights. If I had known she [7-year old Jade] had a birth defect like this, in the blink of an eye I would never have had her.
Ms. Fields thinks she has a right to a […]
Sen. Russ Feingold said, “People have to pay money to get their music played.” Hey, Russ, people also pay money to get their stuff on grocery shelves, and few complain about the lack of diversity of products in supermarkets.
I’ll admit most music on radio stinks. What I won’t accept is orders from Washington […]
Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland admitted to paying off a man accusing him of sexual assault. The Archbishop denies abusing Paul Marcoux when he was a student at Marquette University in the 1979. When you take the Journal Sentinel story and combine it with a 1980 letter from Weakland to Marcoux, the easiest […]
