The Volker Committee investigating the Iraq Oil-for-Food scandal issued an interim report (PDF) saying U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan didn’t improperly award a contract to a Swiss company that employed his son. But he’s not off the hook. Mark Pieth, one of the committee members said, “We said he was not dishonest but at the […]
Thomas Barnett, author of the very important The Pentagon’s New Map, is now a contributing editor for Esquire. His new position has opened more doors than when he was a professor at the U.S. Naval War College.
Life is so much more interesting now with Esquire, because I pitch my F2F’s directly on my own, and […]
Last night, a naked man walking along a Kenosha street with his three naked kids was shot and killed by police. One of the children told police the man “had an argument with his girlfriend, smoked marijuana, drank shampoo and poured water over his children before taking all three naked into the street.” What […]
Jesse Jackson has gotten involved in Terri Schiavo’s case.
“She is being starved to death, she is being dehydrated to death. That’s immoral and unnecessary,” Jackson told reporters after meeting Schiavo’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, near the hospice in Pinellas Park where she is being cared for.
…
“This is one of the profound moral issues […]
There’s a person who comments daily at TAM. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned Chet by name in a post but have took him on in the comments. I don’t mind him around. He can be obnoxious, but he occasionally keeps me on my toes and adds entertainment to the comments. Tee Bee has written […]
Owen took the pic and demanded an explanation. He told you to listed to WTMJ this morning for more. No stories on the web yet so I’ll let you know that the van is part of a Milwaukee County public transit program. The van was designated for the 440th Airlift Wing to bring in people […]
Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks won’t be in the majors come Opening Day. From watching them for almost a week I was satisfied with Fielder (good bat, no harm with the glove) and had to give an incomplete to Weeks (didn’t play enough to have a good opinion). The problem is neither of the two […]

Ramesh Ponnuru notices Andrew Sullivan is attempting a one-man conservative purge. Since conservatism, as all political philosophies, is built by many minds, it would be better and more honest of him to call his philosophy “Sullivanism.”

It’s been too long since I had sausages. Then I read this recipe. Guess what I’m making right now?
UPDATE: My sausages turned out pretty good. The red peppers and onions were especially sweet. I recommend cooking the sausages in the oven longer than the recommended 6-10 minutes. Unless you’re really concerned about presentation cut into […]
It’s bad enough the EU decided to centrally plan what can and can’t be in an operating system. The loons also have a veto on what the altered OS can be named.

UW-Milwaukee loses a good one in Bruce Pearl. The most successful coach in school history took the Tennessee Volunteers job. Who can blame him? His pay goes up to around $1 million from the $275,000 he was making at UWM. How high UWM was willing to go is a question I hope local reporters find […]
Kevin’s getting a Jeopardy! tryout. Congrats to him. Once upon a time I tried out for the college tournament. The tryout was in Milwaukee, and I was going to school in Duluth, MN. A six hour trip across the Badger State was in order. It was the first and only time I ever used that […]
When spending a little time in Arizona like I did a few weeks ago you quickly feel how important immigration issues are there. You step out of your hotel room, go to a gas station, turn on the radio, and read billboards. You come into contact with Spanish. You talk with locals about the news […]
Andrew Sullivan isn’t the only one taking advantage of Terri Schiavo’s impending death to advance an agenda. The LA Times has a hit piece supposedly demonstrating the hypocrisy of Rep. Tom DeLay. Michelle Malkin links to a few Lefty webloggers who go ape over it. There’s also a certain self-proclaimed “moderate” who is using it […]
