We won’t know what Pelosi will do until she actually does it, but we’re starting to get an idea of how she’s going to move forward. Rep. Nancy Pelosi plans to sideline colleagues who are hawkish on national security in the Democratic leadership in the House. Democratic Party sources said as House Speaker, Ms. Pelosi [...]

Disclaimer – This post is not a lame attempt to spin the loss as something it isn’t. The GOP deserved to get thumped. The key now is to learn why, and I think the reason is obvious. End disclaimer. I’ve been spelunking through the voting data and am noting some interesting things. First, let’s look [...]

So, there we have it. Democrats now control the House, and as of this writing, it looks likely they’ll pick up enough seats to give them a 51-49 margin in the Senate. (Let’s pause right now an consider the power of Joe Lieberman – assaulted by his own party, chased out by the nutroots, and [...]

In this day and age, political debates are like World Class chess. Chess junkies are excited over the most marginal of advantages, while ordinary people don’t understand all the fuss since the combatants usually run out a string of draws before anything interesting happens. Occasionally, you get something like this, where even the most casual [...]

There are some fascinating rumblings emanating from the far Left Blogosphere regarding next weeks elections. I’ve already posted my concession that the House and maybe the Senate are about to change hands, and I still think that holds. But the past two months of conventional wisdom regarding a Leftward landslide is starting to wear a [...]

So let me understand this. The US is considering building a fence, on US soil, to protect the US border, paid for by US money, as a clear exercise in preserving the sovereignty of the nation. And Mexico wants to take legal action with the UN? Mexico’s foreign secretary said Monday the country may take [...]

I haven’t been trying too hard to follow the whole sordid Foley thing, with the IMs and the emails and the unsavory details. Not because he’s a Republican and I have some interest in propping up a pedophile, but more because it just makes my head hurt trying to sort out the lies from the [...]

Say what you want about politicians, usually they aren’t stupid. Most of the time they get where they are by virtue of the stupidity of voters. Or, to be more charitable, voters, if disturbed, can be impulsive. Nothing ruins the day of an incumbent more than an impulsive voter. It is best to conduct unpopular [...]

Cindy Sheehan, again. Now almost 40 days into her fast supporting war resisters and their families, Sheehan, though weak, announced that she is offering land she bought in Crawford near Bush’s ranch as a refuge for U.S. troops who desert to resist the war in Iraq. And what about that fast?

When I see Lanny Davis, who served as a Special Counsel to Clinton, on TV I am overcome with the urge to cancel my cable. I just can’t stand the man. Yet here I am agreeing with him about the state of the far-left blogosphere. Now, in the closing days of the Lieberman primary campaign, [...]

Cindy Sheehan is back. Under the blazing Texas sun, Sheehan and more than 50 demonstrators again marched a mile and a half toward Bush’s ranch, stopping at a roadblock. As Secret Service agents stood silently, Sheehan held up her California driver’s license and said she wanted to meet with the president. “It doesn’t say my [...]

Why are we still listening to Dan Rather? The old nutcase resurfaced from his ‘retirement’ to offer up some learned opinions on O’Reilly. It seems in Ratherville, the pro-Bush people have a maniacal, raving hatred for the other side far beyond anything reciprocated by the Left. I guess Dan doesn’t spend much time on Kos [...]

Step 1: Threaten the children of someone you don’t agree with. Step 2: Get forced to resign from your teaching job for your comments. Step 3: Blame the other party for manufacturing the whole thing and doctoring the evidence of your threats. Step 4: Refuse to shut up about the incident. Amazing.

Some still think the World Trade Center was demolished by controlled charges. This clown has ‘evidence‘ to prove it.

Karl Rove not to be indicted. I guess Truthout.org ended up really out in front of the news cycle. Some people need to learn that reality is inelastic.

Nice to see that Britain has their share of whacked-out moonbats. The Respect MP George Galloway has said it would be morally justified for a suicide bomber to murder Tony Blair. In an interview with GQ magazine, the reporter asked him: “Would the assassination of, say, Tony Blair by a suicide bomber – if there [...]

RETRACTION – See comments for this post. Updated 5/24/06 FURTHER UPDATE – It seems others have the same thought I did about the reliability of the Detroit Free Press. No, it isn’t California, and the Ninth Circuit has nothing to do with it. In perhaps a well-intentioned, but pernicious example of political correctness, the Michigan [...]

Recall that this is the same court that ruled the Pledge as unconstitutional due to the reference to God. In a recent federal decision that got surprisingly little press, even from conservative talk radio, California’s 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it’s OK to put public-school kids through Muslim role-playing exercises, including: Reciting aloud [...]

For a few days now, the Lefty Blogosphere has been salivating over a TruthOut.org story claiming that Darth Rove had been indicted by the Grand Jury. Certainly the perp walk would happen by Monday. Then maybe by Tuesday. Uh, how about Wednesday? Oh man….ok… Today, Tim Blair links to the latest update from TruthOut. The [...]
