As predicted, the defending Super Bowl champions New England Patriots defeated the defending Big Game chokers Indianapolis Colts at Gillette Stadium. They didn’t just beat them, they outclassed them in every phase of the game, especially in the second half. Colts’ quarterback Peyton Manning once again came up empty against the Patriots and this time [...]

Michelle Malkin has the dope (pun intended) on the Mexican Marine who was shot dead by police after killing an officer during a robbery in Mexif…California.

I switched from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser to Mozilla‘s Firefox this week. Just like that, basically. I certainly had no inclination of doing it when the week began. When I started using Internet in 1994 – when Gopher was still alive and somewhat kicking – Mosaic was my first browser. It was a nice little [...]

Michelle Malkin comments on the Education Department’s Rent-a-Hack bribing of black conservative journalist Armstrong Williams: There are no shades of gray about this, friends: the Bush Education Department subsidized a prominent minority conservative “journalist” with federal taxpayer dollars to sell black parents on the Teddy Kennedy-inspired No Child Left Behind boondoggle—a program that represents the [...]

When Peyton Manning and Indianapolis Colts shredded the Denver Broncos 49-24 in the Wild Card Playoffs, they set up the eagerly anticipated rematch between the Colts and the reigning Super Bowl champions New England Patriots in the Divisonal Playoffs (or quarter finals, as it would be known in less popous circumstances).

The current set up produces way too many games between teams that simply aren’t play-off worthy. On Saturday, the inadequate Saint Louis Rams (8-8 in the regular season) managed to [...]

Boston Globe’s Beacon Hill (ie. State House) columnist Sam Allis has a filler piece on the Know Nothings, as the members of the American Party were known in the 1850′s. The American Party was nativist and abolitionist and it also championed the kind of work laws that militaristic Prussia would later enact to protect its [...]

Muslims tell Catholic priest to watch himself (free registration required) as he provides humanitarian assistance in Aceh in Indonesia, according to Australian newspaper Sun Herald. Trust me, it’s just the beginning.

I think we fool ourselves big time in thinking that our massive relief effort in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and other countries hit by the lethal Christmas Tsunami will improve America’s standing among Muslims. Many wishful thinkers once again delude themselves into thinking that images of American sailors delivering American aid packages will make Muslims finally [...]
