"Chicken Hawks," the sequel

Tuesday's New York Times op-ed page has a piece by Congressman Charles Rangel advocating a return of the draft. If you remember a few months back, some anti-war protesters were attacking "chicken hawks," identified as pro-war-on-Iraq Republicans (mainly) who had never served in the military in a combat situation (i.e. you must have been shot […]

Time magazine's big mistake

Time's whistleblower trio contains an odd duck. It's the old "Mini Page" puzzle -- one of these things is not like the other. The odd woman out is Enron's Sherron Watkins. Why? Well, OpinionJournal.com's Dan Ackman lays out the reason why, with an apt analogy. A whistleblower is someone who spots a criminal inside a […]

The latest talking points and the truth

On Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," last night, with Cal Thomas sitting in for Bill, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) outlined the Democratic strategy for attacking the Bush administration's handling of the War on Terror: They got the Patriot Act. I voted for it.

A concession, and proof that it really is the dismal science

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest offering is a pessimistic assessment of the economy. Of note in Krugman's analysis are two things: First, Krugman, possibly for the first time (it would be nice to have access to Lexis-Nexis), acknowledges that the Bush Tax Cut has benefited the economy -- if only "marginally." Second, Krugman […]

Islamofacism and poverty

A "conversation on the beach" is an example of some first-person reporting that is sometimes some of the most insightful and informative available. In the article, which was first written as a letter to a friend, an Israeli holocaust survivor describes a conversation he had with a Palestinian who is apparently a college student at […]

Religion of Peace update

Some "freedom fighter" tossed a grenade into a church in Pakistan, killing three girls. As of the latest report, no one has claimed responsibility for the cowardly attack -- but (*sarcasm on*) I'm betting it was the Hindus. They do it all the time. (*sarcasm off*)

Religion in China

Today's Washington Post has an interesting article on the growth of Protestantism in China and how the government is responding. One thing I noticed in the story, however, is what I would consider a lack of elementary religious knowledge. Or, at least, an unwillingness to call a spade a spade. Some Chinese churches push the […]

A new assault on the environment

In the past, when the Bush administration has been poised to destroy the environment, be it his "Clear Skies" initiative or arsenic in drinking water, the New York Times editorial page and its writers have written to the rescue. The Times has spared no amount of vitriol when it comes to protecting the environment from […]
