As science has already proven Victor Davis Hanson to be a hopeless tool, it probably shouldn't surprise anyone that he also fails to appreciate some of the many differences between journalism and historical scholarship. And so:Every source in Cobra II, Fiasco, or State of Denial, may...
Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter (which, I'll allow, is a cool name).
Today, thanks to Kim Jong Il, I got to be on the TV. I talked about North Korea on the 12:30pm (27 Newsfirst), and on the 5:30pm (36 Action News)..
I'm not much for metaphysics, but if evil exists in this world, it has been temporarily vanquished by the Detroit Tigers. Like any good high, the end of the Yankees' season makes me feel warm and mellow and hungry for more. But already I'm staring to...
First off, thanks to Scott and Rob for and asking me to join up with LGM -- an offer that very nearly salves my staggering disappointment over finishing second in.

First of all, there are some hilarious examples of the whining of allegedly persecuted majorities:In March, hundreds of people and a number of influential lawmakers...
It looks as if the test has been conducted. As far as I can tell, the world hasn't ended. North Korea has one fewer nuke than it had yesterday.
