In Fitzgerald’s latest filing he demonstrates a level of twisted logic (immersed in tortured english grammar) I find stunning. To us mathematically oriented the terms ‘likely’ and ‘unlikely’ are ends of a common spectrum called ‘probability’. On one end is the probability of zero, the other end a probability of 1 (which equates to 100%). […]

Fitzgerald’s case is taking on water faster than I thought. In a 40 page decision (H/T Tom Maguire at JOM), Judge Walton gave Libby all sorts of impeachable information against Fitzgerald’s witnesses. He did let Miller’s schedule and phone records be excluded, but as you read through it seems there was other evidence that could […]

News outlets have one thing of value: credibility.  Lost that and all that is left is capitol assets for the bankrupcy court.  The NY Times has decided it is better to crash and burn in a liberal flame out than be the outstanding news outelt it once was. Moody’s has just announced a downgrade in […]

Scooter Libby won a decision against Time and Cooper, which doesn’t bode well for the other media outlets and personalities facing subpoenas or Fitzgerald: A federal judge on Friday ordered Time magazine to turn over documents for a White House aide to use in his defense to perjury and other charges in the CIA leak […]

Hat Tip to Mac Ranger on this CNN report regarding the focus on Congress as the source of the leaks to the NY Times regarding the NY Times story. Recall that the original leaks occurred a year before the story broke last fall – so the leak happened during or prior to December ’04: The […]

When someone compares Mexico to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda it is time to write them off your list of people to listen to: Consult with Mexico about securing US borders? Can you imagine? That’s like conferring with Osama bin Laden prior to implementing airport security. You know, if you cannot discern the difference between […]

General Hayden was confirmed in a totally lopsided vote as the new head of the CIA in the Senate today: May 26 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. Senate voted 78-15 today to confirm Michael Hayden as director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Hayden, who is deputy director for national intelligence, will take over an agency that […]

(Note: I was tempted to title this pos”Hysteric Day”). I am going to have to mark this day down in the calendar as a watershed event. I am in agreement with an LA Times editorial. Not all of it of course -it is the LA Times – because somehow blaming Bush for this mess seems […]

When bombastic egotists get media play, they will do anything to keep the spotlight on them – including a call to assissinate their elected leader it would seem: The Respect MP George Galloway has said it would be morally justified for a suicide bomber to murder Tony Blair. In an interview with GQ magazine, the […]

Our country was founded on the powerful idea that all people (‘men’ in the venacular of the day) are created equal.  That means we treat everyone exactly the same in the eyes of the law.  We acknowledge that we have visitors here from other lands who are not citizens (guest workers, students and tourists) and […]
