Does this mark me as pro-choice?  Or pro-life…? Because I gotta tell you, I’m having real trouble deciding which mailing list to sign up for.

Man, these inconvenient non-ties between Iraq and transnational terrorism just keep piling up. I mean, I’m to the point where if Keith Olbermann and Howard Dean weren’t so darn certain about there being no connection whatever between Saddam and terrorists, I’d be getting a little suspicious.  Which, that could put a good-sized dent in my woldview.

Unsolicited email exchanges with the tolerant left (UPDATED)

This Sheehan business, as many of you have already noted, has really brought out the trolls.  And not just in the comments.  My email box is stuffed full of that special lefty tolerance reserved for those not on their protected peoples list.  To wit:  I woke up this morning to find this missive from one in my inbox: You really ARTE clueless, aren’t you?  I suggest you stop making a

From Der Spiegel, a blunt accounting of what Usama bin Laden and his band of Semtex-festooned medievalists really want: If there is anyone who might possibly have an inkling as to what al-Qaida are up to, it is the Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein. He has not only spent time in prison with al-Zarqawi, but has also managed make contact with many of the network’s leaders. Based on correspondence with these

In which I attempt to defend my good name using SCIENCE

In an otherwise reasonable Daily Standard piece analyzing the blogosphere’s role in affecting an “information reformation,” Hugh Hewitt accuses yours truly of peddling “vulgar” and “profane” humor “pretty much every day”—an observation that, well…it just stings.  But, as a CITIZEN JOURNALIST on an endless search for TRUTH, I can’t afford to let personal feelings cloud my objectivity—which is why I’m going to leave it up to you, dear readers, to
