Never mind that he’s a tough and cool politician now. Never mind that he looks like Captain Scarlet’s boss, Colonel White, Commander in Chief of Spectrum. Gen. Wesley Clark was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO. Do you know what that means? Well, neither do I, at least not exactly, but I do know that that’s about the greatest job title ever. Most of the media morons piling on Wes Clark this week aren’t fit to shine even the tiniest bar on his chestful of medals. But there they go, like good little lapdogs, chasing after a manufactured “controversy” that benefits the Republican presidential candidate. When questioned by Bob Schieffer about John McCain’s qualifications for the presidency on Face the Nation Sunday, Clark made the sensible point that “I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.” (Here’s a good rundown of this week’s f...

(You know who the most famous American women’s college graduate is!) It would be nice if women’s colleges graduated proportionately more people who got graduate degrees in something other than the humanities–not that there’s anything wrong with that!–...
