Two Congressional Democrats and maybe Rep. John Murtha want to pull out of Afghanistan. Two and one-half don’t make a trend.
It would be really easy to go off on how Democrats have to stomach or war of any sort. While not questioning their patriotism I could question their internationalism–pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan would […]
The Huffington Post is pushing an attack on Fred Thompson. When you combine this with Mike Allen’s story it’s fairly certain this is part of the coordinated attack on Thompson launched by Democrats.
One attack on Thompson is he’s a high priced lobbyist. Thomas Edsall writes, “Since his days as top minority counsel to the Senate […]
The Politico, a nice addition to the Washington news scene, is immediately steeped in the city’s conventional wisdom. Here’s Mike Allen’s final paragraph on a recent Fred Thompson story (emphasis mine):

Here’s bassist Brian Ritchie making the case:
“I don’t like awards shows like the Grammys or other subjective things,” Ritchie said. “Simple concepts like platinum albums (1 million sold) are more meaningful to me, […]
Don Surber on the Supreme Court defending political speech today and a certain unpopular President:
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote the 2003 decision. She left in 2005 and originally was to be replaced by John Roberts, who wrote today’s majority opinion. That was the difference: Roberts for O’Connor. Say what you want about President Bush: He […]

Can we end the notion that the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign is a non-partisan group? Charlie Sykes catches them using a bogus Abraham Lincoln quote while bloviating on today’s campaign finance ruling.
It’s the same bogus quote AlGore used in his The Assault on Reason. How much do you want to bet the author of the WDC […]
The Surpreme Court blew a hole in the McCain-Feingold first amendment restriction law:

Much of what Wal-Mart announced yesterday will be directed at consumers who do not use banks. Wal-Mart says, for example, […]
Food for thought:
It has become standard procedure for sociologists and politicians to take opinion polls and to deduce behavior patterns from such data. Yet, it is a fact that the subject matters of these polls do not touch on matters in which the questionees are vitally interested, but are topics in which the pollsters have […]
