And yes, here is yet another post we “reichwingers” are compelled to make in order to beat back the incessant scandal mongering of such ideologically-committed media outlets like the NYT. I’ve noted this before—and it’s a sentiment that drives my visitors from the left apoplectic (to which I say, so, how’s it feel being put on the defensive all the time, hard chargers?)—but to many on the anti-war, anti-Bush side

Actually, I’m pretty sure that ain’t poison ivy, because a) I don’t make a habit of peeing in weeds, and b) poison ivy doesn’t usually cost me $50, a half-hour of strained small talk, and two gin and tonics at some dingy hotel bar off of Federal Ave.

From Newsbusters: It’s certainly not often that a conservative can say this, but today’s editorial in the Washington Post entitled “A Good Leak” represents a bold and almost unprecedented demonstration of support for President George W. Bush by one of America’s leading liberal newspapers. Frankly, I had to check and double-check the web address while pinching myself to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Yet, there it was: “PRESIDENT BUSH

Bill Kristol is not at all impressed with the administration pushback against the relentless negativism of its ideological opponents.  From the Weekly Standard: The Bush administration has argued that Iraq was and is a central front in the war on terror. Here is evidence that they were right. And yet no one from the administration has noted these findings–to say nothing of commenting on other documents from Saddam’s regime that

I’m a little late with this, but in case you haven’t seen it (h/t Tom Pechinski)… From the April 4 World Peace Herald: On April 3 the Russian journal Novaia Gazeta reported that 250 nuclear warheads with a total yield of 20 megatons were not returned by Ukraine to Russia. Novaia Gazeta suggested the warheads could have been sold to a third country, possibly Iran. The 200-kiloton warheads were due

dpenpaper — AOL doesn not accept emails from my IP for some reason (I emailed you a response this morning, but it bounced back).  To answer your question:  I see no activity in that account.  But I appreciate the thought. When you get this message, please either email me or leave a note in the comment letting me know you received it.  Then I’ll pull this down. Thanks — Jeff

From “Brickbats,” Reason (May 2006): Italy has imposed a 25 percent tax on hard-core porn.  The law, similar to one already passed in France, applies to all films and magazines as well as merchandise sold in sex shops. At the risk of offending those social conservative readers I haven’t already chased away with a lot of potty-mouthed posts about Shannon Elizabeth’s nipples, let me argue here that these kinds of

Associate professor of political science at the University of Virginia and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, Gerard Alexander, writes of “the long and growing list of things you can’t legally say” in the Old Country.  From the April 10 Weekly Standard: On February 20, an Austrian court sentenced the notorious British writer David Irving to three years in prison for denying in a 1989 speech that Auschwitz

James Taranto muses on the latest turn in the Plame affair.  From WSJ’s Best of the Web: If you’d told us earlier this week that the Valerie Plame kerfuffle was about to turn even sillier, we wouldn’t have believed you. But it has. This story appears on the front page of today’s New York Times: President Bush authorized Vice President Dick Cheney in July 2003 to permit Mr. Cheney’s chief

—Feh.  I haven’t even seen the little guy in 3 days.  But if I had to guess, I’d say he’s on his way to San Diego to catch tonight’s Rockies – Padres game.  At least, that would explain why I’m missing my Rockies’ beer coozie, along with my tailgating chair, a cooler, two bags of pork rinds, and a case of India Pale Ale.  Oh.  And a sniper’s rifle and
