Jack Kilby co-inventor of the integrated circuit died today at age 81. His Nobel Prize-winning work literally changed the world. You wouldn’t be reading this words without Kilby’s efforts. The engineer who admitted he “had some trouble in math” had a Wisconsin connection.
His first job out of college was with Centralab in Milwaukee, Wis., working […]

Sen. Durbin attempted to apologize today on the floor of the Senate. I’m disappointed.
Why can’t any politician just say, “I made a mistake?” Why do they have to say “I’m sorry people were offended by what I said?” That just puts the blame onto the listener. Captain Ed calls it a “halfway dodge.”
Durbin said,
Some may […]

If we want to use the Sen. Trent Lott standard then it’s a no-brainer that Sen. Durbin should leave his Minority Whip post for comparing Gitmo to Nazi death camps and the Soviet Gulag.

Bill Clinton, always the attention-seeker just had to comment on Guantanamo Bay.
Well it either needs to be closed down or cleaned up. It’s time that there are no more stories coming out of there about people being abused.

The truth is that what has changed is not the pace of Saddam Hussein’s WMD programs, but our tolerance of them post-11 September.
Exactly. Events change how we view […]
It takes a hell of a lot of gumption for a law school to worry that its students are going into too much debt because of $3 Starbucks coffee. The example the Washington Post uses is Kirsten Daniels. Three years at Seattle University School of Law has put her $115,000 in debt. The director of […]
Bravo to the House Appropriations Committee. They slashed the federal subsidy to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting by 25%. That’s a start, but I would have loved to see Rep. Ralph Regula’s plan to completely eliminate the subsidy get through committee.
I can hear it already. “Sean, you must hate Big Bird. What about Sesame Street? […]

We now know Howard Dean, M.D. will draw the rhetorical line at anti-semitism:
A handful of people at Democratic National Headquarters distributed material critical of Israel during a public forum questioning the Bush administration’s Iraq policy, drawing an angry response and charges of anti-Semitism from party chairman Howard Dean on Friday.
