Wolf Blitzer has Hanan Ashrawi, a Palestinian legislator, on CNN's "Late Edition." I must admit that I'm sick and tired of hearing their lies go without a challenge. O'Reilly and Keyes don't let them spout their revisionist history without challenge, but CNN seems to think that's just presenting "the Palestinian perspective." Go ahead and let […]
Former Enron hack Paul "Line 47" Krugman is at it again. Krugman gleefully goes into "I told you so" mode over the revelations earlier this week that Enron documents reveal that the bankrupt energy trader gamed the market to charge me higher prices for electricity. No one in California is really surprised by this fact. […]
The American Prospect is taking nominations for the best liberal bloggers. I've always wanted to be part of such a list on such a highly-respected Web site. I've been trying for months to get Glenn Reynolds' Instapundit to put me on his list of "Recommended sites" without success. So TAP is an acceptable second choice. […]
The Palestinian Authority's U.S. Representative, Hasan Abdel Rahman, is on CSPAN-2 right now speaking to the National Press Club. Seeing him in this forum, as opposed to being challenged by Bill O'Reilly or Alan Keyes, distresses me. He's fielding softball questions which refer to "Israeli spin."

If you haven't read it yet, go check out screenwriter Daniel Gordon's account of his recent trip to the Jenin refugee camp. Are the "liberal" media reflexively anti-Israel? One reservist sensed (CNN reporter Sheila) MacVicar's hostility. He was a soft-spoken man who approached her and introduced himself as the reserve unit?s medical officer, Dr. David […]
Global warming, global shwarming: A New York Times News Service story published in today's San Diego Union-Tribune reports that cooling in the Antarctic region is a result of the hole in the ozone layer. When it comes to the global climate, stories like this just go to show that scientists still don't have a good […]
More on media bias: Bill O'Reilly's radio talk show debuts today and the Washington Post marks the occasion by pointing out the dearth of left/liberal commentators making it big on talk radio. While this is all well and good, reading the story closely reveals either a looseness with words or that ever-present liberal media bias. […]
I'm beginning to think that states like Washington and Texas that have two year budgets and shortened legislative sessions would be a very good thing for California. When legislators have too much time on their hands they have to find something to do. Generally that something is not constructive. The Los Angeles Times reported last […]
Over at National Review Online there is an excellent article on Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.). Byron York follows up his coverage of the failed Pickering nomination by presenting a compelling case that Edwards may have illegally obtained Justice Department documents. In the days before the Pickering hearing, the Justice Department and committee […]
