Congrats, Cortes!

I know one of the protestors
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005I’m struggling to make sense of the Terri Schiavo case. Lord knows, I wouldn’t want any judges, legislators, governors, and especially not United States Presidents making feeding tube decisions for anyone in my family. (Note to anyone who cares: should you ever have to decide this issue for me, never keep me artificially alive on [...]
Muslim clerics denounce Osama
Friday, March 11th, 2005What’s amazing about this story is that it’s taken over three and a half years since 9/11 for Muslim clerics to issue “the world’s first fatwa, or Islamic edict, against Osama bin Laden … calling him an apostate and urging others of their faith to denounce the al Qaeda leader.” Why?

This after Lebanon’s pro-Syrian puppet government “resigned” last week to make room for democratic elections, in response to demands by community protesters. Does this mean the so-called “Bush Doctrine” is actually working? Even Bush cynics from mainstream media, [...]

She did not say, “I’m too busy serving the people of New York to think about the future.” She did not say, “Oh, I already have a heckuva lot on my [...]
Where’s the Faith in the Faith-Based Initiative?

The article that started the controversy by ex-Bush aide David Kuo Responses: Marvin Olasky; White House Ron Sider: Bush’s real poverty scorecard
Another responsibility failure
Thursday, February 10th, 2005How ’bout good ole Kim Jong II of North Korea? He hadn’t heard himself speak on an international stage in a few months, so this week he decided to boast about his possession of nukes and willingness to use them to defend his tyrannical regime against the United States’ “ever more undisguised policy to isolate [...]
