This is strange

July 8, 2005 – 8:22 pm

I have rarely read anything in the Grey Lady that has baren any relation to reality, but this editorial, by Fred R. Conrad (reg req’d), actually not only makes sense, but does not scream "bleeding heart liberal!" Yesterday’s bombings in downtown London are profoundly disturbing. In part, that is because a bombing in our mother […]

Scarborough and Plame

July 7, 2005 – 8:05 am

Every knows, or should have, a working knowledge of the Valerie Plame situation, and how Judge Hogan is saying "release your sources name, or go to jail." Judith Miller of the NY Times was sent to the pokey yesterday, even though her source said she could reveal the name. But, apparently Joe Scarborough has gotten […]

Inside the Mind of a Terrorist(?)

June 28, 2005 – 7:31 am

Time Magazine does something newsworthy for a change, and gives us an inside look at the mind of an Iraqi terrorist: One day soon, this somber young man plans to offer up a final prayer and then blow himself up along with as many U.S. or Iraqi soldiers as he can reach. Marwan Abu Ubeida […]

Suspected Suicide Bomber Kills 4 GI’s

June 13, 2005 – 11:19 am

Folks, you just cannot make this stuff up: KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – A suspected suicide bomber detonated explosives in his car near a U.S. military vehicle Monday in southern Afghanistan, wounding four Americans in the latest assault on coalition forces, a U.S. military spokesman said. Suspected. Was he in the car? Yes? Then he is no […]

9/11 Spin Control

June 10, 2005 – 7:51 am

How many times will this be quoted by the Bush haters? In the weeks and months before Sept. 11, 2001, the FBI had some clues, but didn’t see them. It had a lead from one of its own agents, but didn’t follow it. That’s a funny start to the AP story, isn’t it? Would I […]

NY Times and Fireman

June 6, 2005 – 8:13 am

The New York Times was one of those who took shots at President Bush over Kerry’s "opening firehouses in Baghdad and shutting them in the United States of America" sound bite. Sorry, no link, it is in the NYT’s archive which requires payment. They have taken numerous shots at Mayor Bloomberg over the same issue. […]

The AP’s on a roll today

June 2, 2005 – 5:08 pm

Didn’t I just post a bad headline by the AP earlier today? Yup. Now we get: Mexico police commander shot dead on U.S. border Perhaps I’m a bit sensitive about this kind of thing, as probably you, as political blog reader, are. But, as you read that, didn’t you think that maybe a US cop, […]

The AP is clueless

June 2, 2005 – 8:13 am

What’s wrong with this headline? Pakistan to Send al-Qaida Suspect to U.S. He’s not a suspect. Abu Farraj al-Libbi IS and Al-Queda member. Period. Get it right, AP. We all know that you and your leftist palls think it is made up. Buy a clue.

On Newstands Now!

May 26, 2005 – 10:21 am

Caught this story last night: Detainees told FBI interrogators as early as April 2002 that mistreatment of the Koran was widespread at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and many said they were severely beaten by captors there or in Afghanistan, according to FBI documents released yesterday. The summaries of FBI interviews, obtained by […]
