Following up on my post about ABC's "The Bachelor," it appears that I was right about Alex Michel being something less than chivalrous. It turns out he's a lecherous piece of scum. Blogger Alex Rubalcava has posted some e-mails reportedly making their way through Harvard circles. Included is one reportedly from "the Bachelor" in which […]
Saudi Arabia has been buying PR ads touting their close friendship with America. Well, with friends like them, who really needs any enemies. They deliver "lectures" and "ultimatums" to our president. They persecute Christians. They fund Palestinian suicide bombers with telethons. They fund madrassas that teach a radical, intolerant form of Islam that directly resulted […]
Hoystory has managed to get an advance copy of the Council on American-Islamic Relations 2002 report on civil rights.

Rich is correct in his analysis that the Catholic Church hierarchy has screwed (no pun intended) themselves with their handling of it. Boston Cardinal Bernard Law needs to resign. […]
Paul "Line 47" Krugman praises Bush for his environmental policy in today's New York Times. Yes, I'm kidding. I'll leave the thorough dissection of today's column up to some environmental expert, but I do want to make a couple of points. Sure enough, the substantive part of the Bush administration's air pollution plan is a […]
The first week that Alan Keyes had his MSNBC show, I watched a couple of episodes. I didn't like it much, because there wasn't enough of Keyes. I think he's probably one of the most intelligent, passionate, and well-spoken conservatives out there today. The past couple of nights I've caught his show, and it seems […]
Does Gray Davis really want to lose his re-election bid? Because he's doing a pretty good job of setting himself up for Bill Simon.
