Justice Dept. on the ball

Okay, let me make sure I have this right: the US Justice Department will be launching a criminal investigation into the apparent leaking of info about Bush’s double-secret-probation (and potentially illegal) spy op on American citizens on American soil to the NY Times, right? Good. And here’s hoping they employ the same full-discosure, whole-truth-at-any-cost full-court [...]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? – can somebody get me a backstory please?

Okay, by now you’ve probably all seen that a NM judge lifted the restraining order against David Letterman. What I’d like to know is what in the name of Justice Thomas was going through that wingnut’s head to issue the order in the first place?

There’s an editor at the Roanoke paper who is my new journalism hero.

McNabb missing the point on moron Philly NAACP president

You may have heard by now that Philly NAACP president J. Whyatt Mondesire played the Rush card on Eagles QB Donovan McNabb in a November 27 “editorial” in the Philadelphia Sun.

Hard rain’s gonna fall….

Went to see the Deacs and DePaul last night. If you saw the final score (84-81) do not be deceived – this game was nowhere near that close. Wake couldn’t have guarded a decent high school team. Gray has gone from being a really good shooting guard to being a utility player who alternates between [...]

I’ve had it. No more goddamned political correctness. From now on, give me that old-time religion. The real old time religion. It ain’t the “holiday” season, folks.
