Below is an excerpt from a soldier’s account of Bush’s visit to Baghdad.
He mentioned that the President had given him this thanksgiving speech to give to the troops.He then paused and said that the senior man present should be the one to give it. He then looked at Sanchez, who just smiled. Bremer then said [...]

Meanwhile Mel Gibson is actually showing some guts and making a passionate film about religion and telling a story that claims to be rooted in absolute truth. This is going to reasonate with people, whether they are religious or not. Both Bush and Mel Gibson are on to something. We, Americans, are [...]

Another reason for the demise of the Left is exemplified by Paul Thomas Anderson (A very smart guy) making a comment like this:
He (Clinton) was playing saxophone, he was chasing pussy, I mean that’s the kind of president you’d like.
There’s a large number of liberals out there who believe this kind of idiocy. Of [...]

Of course, Liebermann and Hillary are the only democrats that understand why the Left is collapsing. Unlike Liebermann, Hillary does have some charisma and certainly has a staunch following of Liberals who don’t care whether she betrays them or not because they only view her as the1973 anti-nixon bra burner that she once was.

We were in our hotel room in Beijing getting ready to put Marco to sleep when the news came over CNN that Saddam had been caught. We watched it unfold live and saw his Saddam the Hobo debut. It was great.
BBC and CNN both looked so distraught at having to report the capture [...]

Joe Lieberman would have a great shot at challenging Dean, if only he were more like Dean and less like Lieberman.
In the last few weeks, and especially now with the capture of Saddam Hussein, Lieberman has been the only serious (read: not Sharpton, Kucinich or Braun) Democratic candidate to distinguish himself from Dean on policy [...]

Hey Dudes,
We’re back from Yunnan and Beijing. I’ll write a little more later. For now, here are some pictures posted on our website. Please take a look at them and pass this along to your wives as well.
Overall, it was a really great trip. China is a really beautiful country and [...]

Apparently the Holy See digs “The Passion of the Christ”:
Opinion Journal: ‘It Is as It Was’

Mike’s attempted (but unhonored) blog retraction regarding the joke at the end of the cleverly re-edited Passion trailer carries no truck at Dorrk.com.
We, the site elders, have determined that the
“In 2004… The Jews will… KILL CHRIST”
joke at the end of the video was quite obviously satire, and a funny (not to mention, inevitable) punchline to [...]

Sunday morning my five-week-old daughter Maggie cried and cried and refused her usual naps. I began to suspect that her distress was tied to the news coverage of the capture of Saddam Hussein, when I remembered that she takes great pleasure during bath time. Could my new daughter be a Baathist?

Although I went on hiatus as a reviewer for the DVD Journal a few months backs, Amy and I just exhausted our stack of trade-ins for the fifth season set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (as well as Angel, Seasons 1 and 2, more for posterity than overwhelming desire). As a result, I need to [...]

Mike, as a freelance Jew, I am not as concerned about your posting anti-semitic satire as I am your posting links to Quicktime movies. We all know that Quicktime is far more evil than any strain of racism. I refer to it as “Hate Compression” and hope to pass a law through Congress to make [...]

You know, because I thought it was a funny concept, I posted a link to that “Kill Bill/Passion” trailer while it was still downloading — so I hadn’t seen the end of the trailer, which spoofs “Kill Bill”’s by offering the following — and unfortunate — tag line:
“IN THE YEAR … 2004 … THE JEWS [...]

So what happens when you mix the trailers for “The Passion of the Christ” and “Kill Bill,” anyway?

How come there aren’t more Chinese villians in the movies?
Sure, you’ll find them in kung-fu movies and, very rarely, as Triad gangsters. But if you subtract the few Hollywood films made by Hong Kong film directors, overall Hollywood villians are Europeans or Latin American drug lords.
Seems it’s time for some Chinese criminal masterminds in one [...]

Check out this darling excerpt from a post at National Review Online’s The Corner about Bioethics in China:
“The Chinese have already attempted to produce a child with three genetic parents, ‘ending in the gruesome death of multiple fetuses.’ And other Chinese experiments, drawing on basic science perfected in the West, have included efforts to implant [...]

I’ve never thought that a connection between Iraq and the attacks on 9/11/2001 was either forthcoming or relevant, but this story deserves some follow up.
It’s an interesting omission that while the article claims proof that Mohammed Atta was trained by Abu Nidal in Iraq shortly before the attacks, there is no mention of Abu Nidal’s [...]
