Feedback continues to pour in this morning: Michelle, I’m a reserve Army officer, currently employed as a professor overseas. The DoD contracts with several universities to offer undergraduate and graduate degrees to servicemembers, either online or face-to-face, in darn near every corner of the planet. Many enlisted soldiers have graduate degrees; many more have bachelor’s [...]

Here’s a bit of a report by Candy Crowley at the Jihadist Sniper News Network putting people to a Democrat word association test (here’s the link, but you don’t need to click): On the cusp of an election that could overturn the Republican majority on Capitol Hill, I jokingly asked a senior Democratic aide whether [...]

Lurch falls flat Lots of people are e-mailing me John Kerry’s remarks on the Bill Maher show last Friday and suggesting he has a Bush assassination fantasy. I don’t think so. He was lamely trying to riff off a metaphor. Not bloodthirsty. Just really, really dumb. Judge for yourselves. Warning: It is extremely painful to [...]

Drip, drip, drip? In its original report leaking details of the National Intelligence Estimate on the Iraq war, the New York Times relied on anonymous, unnamed leakers to spin its contents and embarrass the White House.

NYTimes executive editor Bill Keller lied to readers about the paper’s anonymous leak-dependent NSA terrorist surveillance story published in December 2005.

The manipulative detainees at Guantanamo Bay reportedly used the generous civil liberties protections we gave them to plot their suicide pact. Are you surprised? WaPo: Three suicides at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may have been part of a broader plot by detainees who were using confidential lawyer-client papers and envelopes to [...]

Why publish maps and specific street names and photographs of the private (not anymore) homes where the Vice President and Defense Secretary and their families spend their vacations? Why? Because blabbermouth Bill Keller feels like it, right? (Interesting timing, no?) Because the “people” (you know: Code Pink, Fred Phelps, jihadis) have a “right to know,” [...]

***update: Eric Shawn has a theory about the U.N.’s attack on the U.S. and Fox News…audio at Johnny Dollar’s*** The United Nations is complaining that Americans are undermining it with criticism–you know, because the actions of its own corrupt, incompetent officials have nothing to do with its squandered credibility. Rush Limbaugh and Fox News (which [...]

John Kerry + Jesse MacBeth = (Photoshop credit: Hot Air affiliate Sanctuary) Yikes!

The Democrats’ national security plan is out. And it’s looking damned good. Kurtz is happy that we might finally have a debate on the subject that involves more than one side stammering, “Bush knew.” Quote: The Dems have been delaying putting forth any sort of Contract with America because, well, why interfere with your opponents [...]

Via Drudge comes word of Sen. John Kerry’s false claim on The Today Show that “53 percent of our children don’t graduate from high school.” Census data show that 84 percent of Americans over the age of 25 are high school grads. Download the video (.wmv file).

When I chronicled the kraziness at the Daily Kos in Unhinged, left-wing critics shot back that the most highly-trafficked website on the left side of the blogosphere did not represent the Democrat Party leadership. Now, not only is John Kerry a proud Kossack…Ted Kennedy is blogging there, too: Irrefutable: The unhinged fringe is the mainstream [...]

Many security experts believe that the success of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan is vital to our security here at home. Not Sen. John Kerry. Here’s what he said to George Stephanopoulos on This Week earlier today: Yes, we have not been attacked here. Many people surmise that one of the reasons we haven’t [...]

Bill O’Reilly took on David Letterman last night. Advantage: O’Reilly. The Political Teen has video. Letterman recycled chickenhawk arguments, muttered “Honest to Christ!” when O’Reilly refused to back down from his criticism of Cindy Sheehan, and attacked O’Reilly’s show despite admitting he doesn’t watch it. Some highlights: O’REILLY: No way that a terrorist that blows [...]
