World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz had enough of the calls for his resignation. He told an investigating panel he was on the up-and-up and won’t resign:
Wolfowitz appeared before the ad hoc committee with his attorneys and presented a 20-page document defending himself, in addition to his prepared statement. He said that when he came to […]

Fred Barnes reports his version of what went down between Laurie David, Sheryl Crow, and Karl Rove:
The showdown at the White House Correspondents’ dinner was more emotional and lasted longer than was first reported. It started when Laurie David introduced herself to Karl Rove. He knew who she was–Hollywood’s leading Bush-hater and a producer of […]
The NY Times is ending its participation in the White House Correspondents Dinner. Radar calls it a “boycott.” I’m not sure what that means. Was Rich Little that bad? Will reporters be barred from attending the social gathering known for mixing entertainers with politicians provoking some entertaining moments? Will Maureen Dowd or David Brooks be […]
My low expectations for this year’s Wisconsin Blog Summit were met. It’s like President Bush at a debate; you don’t expect much. The panels were the ho-hum affair I thought they’d be since most of the participants don’t weblog enough to feel like they really know the blogosphere.
I was waiting for all those outsiders who […]
To ease you into a new week Extreme Mortman found that a former West Wing actress, Melissa Fitzgerald, is eyeing a Congressional run. She would certainly raise the hotness level of Congress and give me even more reason to watch C-SPAN. There hasn’t been a hot Congresswomen since Susan Molinary back in 1994 before she […]
George Tenet has plenty enough to do to finally explain how his CIA failed on so many intelligence fronts (the group of spies who missed the fall of the Soviet Union should be holding their heads in shame too) now he has to explain why he lied while passing the buck on Iraq.

The Wisconsin Blog Summit finished, and I got to the bar just in time to witness Ted Thompson make a giant screw up in the NFL Draft. Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn fell from being a top-10 pick and was available when the Packers picked at 16. I was pleasantly stunned when I heard the […]
Despite my bitching and moaning I’ll be at the Wisconsin Blog Summit II today at Marquette University.
I still haven’t decided if I should walk out on Eugene Kane. He’s never tried to earn my respect, but I am only a white guy.
I’ll drag the computer with me only to quickly upload pictures and occasionally […]
For a guy that should have died from Lou Gehrig’s disease years ago Stephen Hawking is having more adventures than healthy me:
Dressed in dark blue flight suits, Hawking and an entourage of caretakers boarded a Boeing 727 that roared out over the ocean and carved huge parabolic arcs in the sky, creating for passengers the […]
What’s happened to Katie Rees the former Miss Nevada who got FIRED by Donald Trump when racy party pictures leaked onto the internet? I get some Google hits on her daily so I felt it was time for an update.
Earlier this month Katie was caught in Las Vegas (where else?) living it up at the […]
The Hot Air gang is celebrating one year of low-budget, highly polemic, usually entertaining video. Today, they list the top five episodes along with outtakes. Too bad Yoo Hoo didn’t make it.

Mark Danziger has an explanation for why no one fought back during the Virginia Tech massacre: bad doctrine. He writes,
The students didn’t fail to act correctly by not attacking their attacker. The doctrine they were operating under — the one we have trained them in all their lives — failed them.
An exception seems to be […]
