• Welcome Back Taliban!

  You'd better sit down. Today Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist suggested that the best way to deal with the increasing Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan ... is to reintegrate the group into the Afghani government. From the AP via the International Herald-Tribune: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Monday that the Afghan guerrilla war can never be won militarily and called for efforts to bring the Taliban and their supporters into the Afghan government. The Tennessee Republican said he

• A Year Without Cathy Seipp

  It wasn't long after I moved to OC that I got the news that Cathy Seipp had died. I got it almost instantaneously -- Cathy was so hooked into the blogosphere that her last moments, much like many of her days, were obsessively chronicled online by friends and colleagues. That was a year ago today. Born in Canada but raised in OC (Los Alamitos, to be precise), Cathy was a conservative pundit of sorts, but not the predictable kind. Yes, she wrote for National Review Online, but also L.A. CityBeat

• Executive Director John Taylor Leaving Nixon Foundation for Clergy

  The Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation announced today that John H. Taylor, the foundation's executive director since it opened in 1990 and before that Nixon's chief of staff, is leaving Sunday to become the full-time vicar (or priest in charge) at St. John Chrysostom Episcopal Church and School in Rancho Santa Margarita. Taylor, who is shown here with his daughter Valerie and the former president in the 1980s, on Jan. 20 sent a formal letter of resignation to board chairman Kris

• Setting the Record Straight at the Nixon Library

  Hopefully, this item on the looming depature of the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation's longtime executive director, John H. Taylor, makes it clear that he fronted a separate entity from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. I say hopefully because that distinction was not clear in an earlier post that called the foundation the "funding arm" of the Nixon Library. That mistake brought my boss a polite-but-swift letter from Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum

• Read Curt Pringle's Lips: He'll Take New Taxpayer Dollars

  Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle has long been the golden boy among Orange County Republicans. He got elected to the party's Central Committee in 1986, and two years later became the GOP nominee for the Garden Grove area state Assembly seat. The party, under the leadership of then-Chairman Tom Fuentes, hired uniformed security goons to stand outside Latino-heavy polling places in Santa Ana and demand identification from the mostly Democratic voters while carrying signs in English and Spanish that

• WTF Alert!?! John Dean Coming to Nixon Library!

  John Dean, shown last year, is coming to the Nixon Library.Over the years, the Richard Nixon Library, Birthplace, Museum, Taqueria & Polo Grounds in Yorba Linda has hosted such speakers as Ann Coulter, Hugh Hewitt, Bill O'Reilly, William J. Bennett, Dick Cheney and probably even more repulsive folks--if that's even possible--that I'm forgetting.After the partisan Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation that had been running the place turned over the keys to the National Archives--w

• Nixon Foundation Kicks Around John Dean, Tim Naftali

  Dean riles Nixonites, again and again. The most interesting part of Melody Chiu's Register report on former Nixon White House counsel John Dean speaking at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum Wednesday night was not the speech itself, but the private Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation's attempts to torpedo that and other "controversial" events presented by the National Archives.  As Michael Mello revealed in an earlier Register piece, the foundat

• Video: Birther Nutjob Orly Taitz Suffers MSNBC Meltdown

  Just in time for Barack Obama's birthday--it's today--the queen of the so-called "birther" movement, Orly Taitz, appeared yesterday on MSNBC to talk up her latest "evidence" that Obama is not an American citizen. That "evidence" is an obviously forged "Republic of Kenya birth Certificate" that was issued several months before Kenya became a "Republic" and which even Karl Rove and Ann Coulter--no friends to the current commander in chief--concur is a fraud. The clip--in which Taitz is alternativ
