The New York Times ran what appeared to be a blockbuster story today about the 9/11 terrorists and intelligence about an al Queda cell in the U.S. as far back as 2000.

Roll Call Executive Editor and Fox News contributor Morton Kondracke wrote a half-good column this week, asking whether moderates will ever be able to exert influence in the Republican Party again. Kondracke, who is reliably right-of-center, didn’t sound optimistic about the GOP’s future. In the Republican Party, [moderates should rise up and assert themselves] by […]
As of right this minute, Cindy Sheehan, who’s 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Baghdad, is still in Crawford, three miles up the road from the president’s ranch.

There’s a new kid on the […]

Hillary Clinton next year. According to the New York […]
The Supreme Court has said local governments kinda sorta can promote the Ten Commandments on public property, so long as the display features some diversity with other symbols and/or documents. For those who want government to intervene in religious matters, the high court’s guidance is ambiguous, but helpful enough to move forward with plans to […]
Just two weeks before the presidential election, and nearly three years after the debacle itself, the president addressed the failure to capture Osama bin Laden in the mountains of Tora Bora in December 2001. “Now my opponent [John Kerry] is throwing out the wild claim that he knows where bin Laden was in the fall […]
