WASHINGTON – The former Sept. 11 commission gave dismal grades Monday to the federal government’s efforts to shore up national security and prevent another terror attack on the United States. Meeting for the last time since being appointed by Congress in 2002, commission members gave the government "more F’s than A’s" among the 41 grades […]

An interesting article in Sunday’s Raleigh News and Observer, written by Republican Political Strategist Carter Wrenn (Talking About Politics). Sometimes I think the folks over at the Triangle Transit Authority must be living in "Cloud Coo-Coo Land." This morning there’s a picture in the newspaper of a spiffy "mock-up" they’ve built — sitting in the […]

So, perusing the Raleigh News and Observer, and way back near the end of section A-1 is a cute little article about the Kyoto Protocol and protests for it: Thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities worldwide Saturday to demand urgent action on global warming as delegates continued their work at an international […]

Seriously, what man doesn’t know this? The comedians are right. The science proves it. A man’s brain and a woman’s brain really do work differently. New research from the University of Alberta shows that men and women utilize different parts of their brains while they perform the same tasks. The results of the research are […]

Really, the whole story, such as it is, is becoming absurd. I fail to see what the BFD is in getting stories that are positive to and for the United States in the media of Iraq. Don’t we want good press about our country and what we do? The rest of the word has like […]

Interesting. While Republicans were out there, including President Bush, decrying what Rep. Duke Cunningham did, Democrats are celebrating former NC Rep. Frank Ballance going to jail: Former congressman Frank Ballance, due to start a four-year prison term by the end of this month, will be given a send-off this weekend featuring an appearance by comedian […]

Yup. The Demaloons are still taking an interest in an investigation into, well, nothing. No crime committed in "outing" Valerie Plame as a CIA agent employee. Yet, on the most overrated blog, which also happens to have the most open thread (which y’all must read: pure idiocy), Atrios writes: According to CNN both Luskin and […]

Listening to Boortz this morning, heard this gem: Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself […]

So, the military has been paying some Iraqi media to produce positive stories. The question is, are any of the stories false? No? Well, daaaaammmmmmmmmn! How about that. U.S. Army officers have been secretly paying Iraqi journalists to produce upbeat newspaper, radio and television reports about American military operations and the conduct of the war […]
