I’ll be on in Yellowknife at 7:35 a.m. Monday. Maybe even better, I’ll be on in Gander at 7:20 a.m. and in Whitehorse at 8:30 a.m. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation will be doing a series of 6 minute interviews with me Monday morn. Canada is adapting a U.S.-style “No Fly List.” The CBC wants me to […]

Bravo Judge Walton!
Will there actually be some justice rendered to a Bush administration top dog? Federal judge Reggie Walton ruled today that convicted felon Irving “Scooter” Libby must begin serving his prison sentence within the next several weeks.

(the full size of this photo is available here.) Mobs of cops were in Washington, DC last week for National Police Week. Their behavior was so bad that the DC police chief formally notified them that their public drunkenness would not be tolerated. Many of the cops were bicycling around to draw attention to their […]
New York Times Calls Me an “Anti-Czar Czar”
The New York Times’ Mark Leibovich has a zesty piece in Sunday’s Times, “The Tin-Star Title for the Too-Tough Job.” He starts out: IN 19th-century Russia, Czar Nicolas I commissioned an official national anthem known as “God Save the Czar.” In 21st-century Washington, the anthem would be more suitably titled “God Help the Czar.” It’s not […]
