An ax to grind

Clifford D. May over at National Review Online offers some background on one person that the New York Times and other national media outlets are touting as a nonpartisan, career foreign diplomat whose criticisms against the Bush administration should be taken seriously. Joseph C. Wilson, in a Times op-ed last week alleged that: "I have […]

French moral superiority

Yes, I know. It's an oxymoron, but this report from London's Daily Telegraph chaps my hide. President Jacques Chirac negotiated a secret deal to protect Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general accused of Europe's worst atrocities since the Second World War, according to evidence submitted to the United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague.

You can bet the video won't be nearly as entertaining as the other line of "Gone Wild" productions. He has canceled elections in Iraq. He will probably cancel them in Afghanistan. Will George W.

Where I go, madness follows

First it was Cal Poly and the stifling of free speech, now it's my former employer the North County Times. As reported by Poynter's Jim Romenesko, the Times last week altered a photo of a youth softball player with the Union-Tribune logo on the back of her jersey. This is the second photo-related stupidity that […]
