Michelle has an item about Matt Sanchez, a U.S. Marine who has been making the rounds of the talk shows, and appeared at this year’s CPAC.  Turns out that Corporal Sanchez, in a former life was, you guessed it, a GAY PORN STAR!! There are now tawdry rumors about Sanchez’s past lighting up the left-wing blogs. Cpl. Sanchez says he will respond on his blog. I googled Corporal Sanchez, and

For those of you interested in the Scooter Libby trial, Tom Maguire unspins the spin being put out by Media Matters. Maguire has tirelessly unpacked the entire case—which has resulted, rather predictably, I think, in a travesty of justice—all in the service of a feverish Bush hatred. As the editors at National Review put it: Because Bush’s stubbornly ill-informed political opponents persist in basing their attacks on discredited statements from

You know how a teenager feels triumphant when he gets permission to drive to a party and drinks and feels so adult. And then, in his drunken stupidity drives home and causes an accident where an innocent stranger dies? The Democrat party waxes nostalgic about their first car ride and party and conveniently forgets the deaths they caused after their joy-ride. I have never been able to understand the Left’s

Last October, the administration of Virginia’s College of William and Mary removed the 100 year old Wren Cross from the school’s 274 year old Wren Chapel.

An Iraqi national wearing wires and concealing a magnet inside his rectum triggered a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday but officials said he posed no apparent threat. Wha??? Speaking of Ass Magnets . . . The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment

Because we disagree about Coulter’s comment, about how we should respond to it, about whether it’s inappropriate given the venue, about whether it’s funny or insightful.  Screw all that. Because here, we can disagree.  And I can post a vile version of Uncle ReamUs.  And when all is said and done, nobody has to lose face unless they’re dishonest. That, my friends, is what it’s about.  There’s never going to

I haven’t taken the time to read every comment in Jeff’s last post on the subject, so if I’m going over old territory, I apologize, but I haven’t seen my take anywhere up to now.  I have two problems with Coulter’s comment that sort of tie in together.  While I agree in principle with Jeff’s comments about intentionalism, I just can’t buy the “faggot doesn’t mean faggot” argument.  It’s like

I don’t generally agree with Reason’s Julian Sanchez, but when he’s not acting like a polemicist for privacy absolutism, he can write articles that are quite informative.  Take, for instance, “The Pinpoint Search,” from January’s Reason: A new wave of advanced surveillance tools is capable of detecting not just drugs but weapons, explosives, and illicit computer files, potentially flying under the Fourth Amendment’s radar all the while.
