New York Times Hits New Low
Words fail me. Noam Chomsky is now a New York Times op-ed columnist, with a rabid anti-Israel screed that the Times publishes one day after Palestinians murder a bus full of children. A Wall as a Weapon. (Hat tip: Mark J.) [Little Green Footballs]

Who is telling the truth about jobs?
The Democrats claim "3 million jobs lost". As you can see from the data below, that simply isn't the case.
It's that old "lies, damned lies and statistics" at work.

Times Are A Changin' in my home state of North Dakota.
USA Today has an interesting article today about kids leaving North Dakota. The reasons given in the article for this exodus are varied. Some leave for climates that aren't as harsh, some leave to find more social opportunities, some leave... [North Dakota Blogs]

FOREIGN POLICY
So, let me get this straight. Because he served in Viet Nam, we are no longer allowed to question John Kerry about any of the subsequent 32 years of his political career. We can't, for example, question him about how... [DiscountBlogger]
I would answer the letter by saying "We agree to never mention your voting history if no one from your party will ever mention the AWOL lies again. If you can guarantee that, then we have a deal." CP

Marriage of Inconvenience
Why same-sex nuptials make Democrats nervous.
As courts refuse to issue injunctions to stop San Francisco from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, many Democrats are running scared. In the words of Peter Schrag, former editorial page editor of the liberal Sacramento Bee, they know Mr. Newsom has committed an act of "monumental political stupidity."
Reading media reports of the 3,000-plus gay couples who have taken out marriage certificates in San Francisco make the mayor's civil disobedience look like a cross between a civil-rights triumph and a love story. That's because the vast majority of journalists support same-sex marriage, including right-of-center pundits such as David Brooks, Andrew Sullivan and Jim Pinkerton. But Democratic politicians know better. California's Barbara Boxer, one of the Senate's most liberal members, startled her base last week when she announced she opposed changing state law to recognize same-sex marriage. A spokesman for the senator said she believes the state's domestic partnership law provides gay couples with "full rights and responsibilities." [WSJ]
How does it feel to be on the sticky side of the fly-paper donks? This issue is going to force you to show your true colors when it comes to the rule of law. Surprising to see Barbara stick her neck out there so soon. Usually she just plays turtle and pretends to be too busy to be bothered with such mundane things as questions about whether people should obey the law. CP

Making Hillary look good.........
Kerry's wife supports
U.S. radicals, jihadists
Teresa Heinz lavishes millions on abortionists, defenders of terror, homosexual extremists
If John Kerry becomes president, the first lady will have a track record of support for the causes of radical, anti-American groups – including Islamists, terrorist-defense law firms, abortionists and homosexual activists – that, by comparison, would make much of the country nostalgic for the days of Hillary Clinton, a study of her philanthropy patterns by Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin concludes.
One of heiress Teresa Heinz Kerry's favorite charities is the Tides Foundation, a 28-year-old grant-making institution that funds to the tune of hundreds of millions radical groups that, among other things, protest the U.S. invasion of Iraq, demand open U.S. borders, provide the legal defense of suspected terrorists and promote the spread of Islamist ideology in the U.S.
