National Review's Rich Lowry has an excellent piece the former counterterrorism czar's "self-immolation." Along the same lines, Time magazine has an atypical article taking on Clark over his dishonesty and what it does to the debate regarding the important issue of dealing with terrorism.
New York Times Paul Krugman's latest column was published today and there's no note of his malicious misquote of former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Apparently Fleischer's letter to the editor will be the closest the Times' comes to really correcting the record. It's curious though that today's op-ed page does contain a correction and […]
Probably the only way to make this thing non-partisan and not a political cudgel to be wielded by one faction or another is to wait until George W. Bush is out of office. Right now you've got Republicans blaming Clinton and Democrats blaming Bush. The truth is that the roots of this go back at […]
As a follow-up to Sunday's post on pressure groups striving to "educate" journalists, the Union-Tribune published this story on a county employee who "married" her partner and was turned-down for marriage benefits. The article includes a picture of the "newlyweds" and is largely sympathetic. It contains no opposing point of view on gay marriage -- […]
If you click on the link in the item below, you'll find that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman maliciously and deceptively misquoted former presidential press secretary Ari Fleischer.

USA Today reporter Jack Kelley is the latest member of the journalism fraternity to have his fabrications detailed and put right. Kelley's fabrications go back at least seven (and possibly 11) years. That Kelley's behavior […]
Hamas "spiritual" leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was killed in Gaza by an Israeli missile strike on Monday. Good riddance. This man and followers are responsible for the murders of hundreds of Israeli men, women and children over the years. Hamas' goal was the destruction of Israel. He has reaped what he has sown. Don't be […]
On Saturday, thirteen Methodist clergy came to the conclusion that the Bible is merely a list of suggestions that you don't really have to follow if you don't feel like it. Following in the footsteps of the Episcopal Church, which recently made a practicing homosexual a bishop, the Methodists have said there's nothing wrong with […]
For the past couple of months I've been checking out the goings-on over at the blog for geeks, aka slashdot.org. If having barely-informed teen-aged salesperson bugging you at an actual store isn't annonying enough, well at least one Web sitewould like for them to annoy you while surfing the Web.
