Strickland keeps moving out in front of Blackwell, now with his biggest margin yet: Democrat Ted Strickland has a nearly 2-1 lead over Republican Ken Blackwell with three weeks left in the race for governor, a poll released Wednesday shows. The Quinnipiac University poll found 59 percent of likely Ohio voters favored Strickland, a Methodist […]
The right wingers jump every time the word “classified” or “secret” is used as a source in a New York Times article. Well how about if the Washington Times uses the same terms? Recent U.S. intelligence analyses of North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs were flawed and the lack of clarity on the issue hampered […]
I doubt it. Earlier I posted on this article: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she cannot recall then-CIA chief George Tenet warning her of an impending al-Qaida attack in the United States, as a new book claims he did two months before the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. “What I am quite certain of […]
Today’s New York Times article covering the developments in the Foley case has one key paragraph that must be addressed: At the Justice Department, an official said that no investigation was under way but that the agency had “real interest” in examining the circumstances to see if any crimes were committed.

I wonder if Hannity will accuse the New York Times of “torturing” Lieberman now: Mr. Lamont, a wealthy businessman from Greenwich, seems smart and moderate, and he showed spine in challenging the senator while other Democrats groused privately. He does not have his opponent’s grasp of policy yet. But this primary is not about Mr. […]
Bush will do whatever it takes to protect his rich buddies: The federal government is moving to eliminate the jobs of nearly half of the lawyers at the Internal Revenue Service who audit tax returns of some of the wealthiest Americans, specifically those who are subject to gift and estate taxes when they transfer parts […]
This deserves some serious questioning: If you falsely yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater and everyone tramples each other to death, you get sent to jail.
