Sen Lindsay Graham is one of those lawyers who is too literal and who thinks in simple terms, and apparently cannot envision context when assessing law. The man is trying to literally interpret Article 3 of the Geneva Convention, which is insane on the face of it: (c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating […]

I was going to write a post about the new polls coming out from Fox and Rasmussen regarding the continued drop of the Dems but Mac Ranger said all that needs to be said. Tried to fix the link – AJStrata

I have kept my eye on a little noticed Wilson-Niger story from Knight Ridder that came out on June 12th, 2003. The source of this story may now be very clear. This story is so unknown it is not listed on the gold standard timeline reference at Tom Maguire’s JOM site. What is important to […]

I have argued many times that FISA never intended to infringe on the right of the military to snoop on our enemies. No one in their right mind would require a court warrant in WW II before we could acquire the Nazi’s Enigma device or the Japanese secret codes and use them to learn what […]

Schumer of New York, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Was Schumer talking about our enemies? No, he was […]

The New York Observer is contemplating the possibility that NJ Dems will try and pull another “Torricelli” by illegaly replacing their tainted candidate prior to the General Election. A candidate that was handpicked by the Democrat Governor (and party it is presumed) whose Senate seat the candidate (Menedez) now holds. My guess is the Dems […]

The NY Times is in a world of hurt because they have been at the forefront of exposing anti-terrorism programs (not to mention misreporting all pertinent details except those most useful to terrorists). Now it seems the NY Times is training their reporters to subvert the law and hide how they get information to publicize […]

I know there are a lot of seasoned political hands out there in the media and the blogosphere, but the latest Survey USA poll up at RCP once again supports what I have been saying since the CT primary – Lamont’s numnbers with Democrats are inflated and Joe is sitting just above 50% in a […]

While Chaffee is not what Virginians would want in a Republican Senator, his primary win means the GOP will, in all likelihood, will hold the Senate. Do I wish the country was more conservative? Most times. But I would rather have a beachhead in RI than another Liberal Democrat and Democrat Committee chairs. You get […]
