Today is indeed a special day. I opened my email this morning to find out that I’ve been visited by my first comment troll. Let’s take a look at this intellectual giant’s remarks: A little oppressed??? His people were slaughtered and are still being slaughtered. You babble out “he is a member of a minority [...]

Update #2: Ward Churchill

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

Our buddy Ward Churchill is feeling a little oppressed: A University of Colorado professor under fire for comparing World Trade Center victims to a Nazi war criminal on Tuesday refused to apologize for his remarks. “I am not backing off an inch,” said Ward Churchill, drawing an ovation from a standing-room-only crowd of about 1,200 [...]

Condi For President

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

Dick Morris puts into writing what many conservatives have been saying for years: As she tours the continent after her Senate confirmation, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is like a rock star — her every movement, her every meeting covered by an adoring media. America’s first black female secretary of state is doing in public [...]

How Telling Is This?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

Laer at Cheat Seeking Missiles had an interesting exchange on Monday: Yesterday when I called to cancel my 25-year subscription to the LATimes — its Saturday editorial lying about Dr. Dobson did ‘em in — I was transferred up the line to a Dedicated Subscription Saver Commando. In the course of our conversation, this exchange [...]

The Difference Between Conservatives and Liberals

Monday, February 7th, 2005

John Hawkins nails it: You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have [...]

Sore Losers Actually Leaving Country

Monday, February 7th, 2005

It seems that some liberals actually do live up to their word. Christopher Key knows exactly what he would be giving up if he left Bellingham, Washington. “It’s the sort of place Norman Rockwell would paint, where everyone watches out for everyone else and we have block parties every year,” said Key, a 56-year-old Vietnam [...]

UPDATE: Ward Churchill

Friday, February 4th, 2005

Apparently, Ward Churchill is getting the same type of support from his superiors at UCB that political appointees get right after a scandal breaks; 100% backing right up until the time they’re terminated. Robert over at Let’s Try Freedom has received an email that UC President Betsy Hoffman sent out to staff. Also, Chancellor Phil [...]

Blogging Schedule

Friday, February 4th, 2005

I really have to apologize for the light blogging this week. As I described here, the week did not start out in a good way, and with the amount of stuff to do at my real job, there just has not been time. I’ll try to make up for it a little bit this weekend, [...]

Thoughts on the State of the Union Address

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005

All things considered, I thought President Bush did very well tonight. He hit the themes that will be the hallmark of his second term in office, and managed to make the Democrats look petty when they groaned about his assessment of the current state of Social Security. I tried to watch the Democratic response, but [...]
