No, this is not a U.S. women’s soccer story.
After all this time, Duke president President Richard Brodhead has suddenly apologized to the lacrosse team players and their families.
Maybe Donald Rumsfeld will still apologize for bungling the Iraq war? Or George Bush? Or Prick Cheney, or Paul Wolfowitz, or Douglas Feith, or George Tenet, [...]
Condoleezza Rice, like condos everywhere these days, finds her market value in free fall. Circumstances conspire to show her up more and more with each passing day. Today the State Department chose to showcase her leadership skills.
Condi, being the great leader that she is, finally realized that she has no damn choice but [...]
I really hadn’t been paying much attention to the Dan Rather lawsuit. Somewhere at the back of my mind I had registered that people were ridiculing the lawsuit, and him for filing it. And then I came across Sidney Blumenthal’s story on Salon.com. It not only got my attention, it now has [...]
WaPo has details:
According to the report, the sequence of events leading up to the shooting began at 11:53 a.m., when a car bomb exploded 25 yards outside of the Izdihar financial compound, just over a mile northwest of the Green Zone. One principal was inside, accompanied by a Blackwater personal security detail identified as Team [...]
As I’ve been doing for the last two weeks, I got up this morning at five (no more tournaments in Asia please) to watch the Women’s World Cup. It was just a day after word got out that U.S. coach Greg Ryan had decided to bench starting keeper Hope Solo in favor of her [...]
In March, General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, indulged in an act of self-exposure that I consider to be far more obscene than dropping his pants would have been:
My upbringing is such that I believe that there are certain things, certain types of conduct, that are immoral. I believe that military [...]
On CNN’s Situation Room on Tuesday, Wolf Blitzer asked Nancy Pelosi about Democrats’ failure to do anything constructive to bring the Iraq war to an end. She tried to shelter behind Republican obstructionism in the Senate, as if people haven’t been asking for months why Democrats don’t simply make continued funding for the war [...]
Why do we still refer to the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as the White House?
In a nod to both the Bush administration’s black-is-white world view, and the blackheartedness of the current occupant, shouldn’t we make it the Black House, for now?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bill Clinton like this before.
But as much as Petraeus soiled himself, he’s no Peter Pace:
Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, caused a stir at a Senate hearing Wednesday when he said he believes homosexual activity is immoral and should not be condoned by the military. [...]
Dana Perino is totally out of her depth in her new job. Criticizing her is too much like shooting fish in a barrel for my taste, so most of the time I’ll be taking the high road. But every once in a while there will be a lie that I am compelled to [...]
