According to the Washington Post, Meredith Vieira is 49 years old. I’m not picking on the WaPo, because several other papers are also reporting Vieira as 49.

The problem? She’s 52.

I’m thinking to myself, if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We […]

There are several posts on The Corner today about the popularity of products featuring the image of Che Guevara. What an interesting irony and sad commentary. The image of this Communist murderer is being exploited by capitalists to make money from people who, we can only pray, know nothing about the man […]

Catching up on some of what I missed while out of town last week, I saw this from Christopher Hitchens.

It looks like British MP George Galloway’s diatribe before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was not just insulting, anti-American, moonbat nonsense; it was also perjurious. Though the Senators were shamefully silent […]

From The Washington Times:

Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include […]
