Democrats can do no wrong

That is, if you're an editor at The New York Times. When the news broke late yesterday that President Clinton's National Security Adviser, Sandy Berger, had gotten sloppy with classified information, the blogosphere jumped on it. What I found most interesting, however, was how the various media outlets covered it. Or more accurately, didn't cover […]

Single Christians

Today's New York Times has an interesting article on the plethora of books out there aimed at evangelical singles. The piece mainly focuses on women, though there are books out there aimed at men too. Since I've been quoted (anonymously) in one of these books (Single Men are Like Waffles, Single Women are Like Spaghetti), […]

Jay Rockefeller's West Virginia

It really has nothing to do with the junior senator from West Virginia, but it just seemed so appropriate. BLACKSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) -- A man smoking in a portable toilet lit up more than a cigarette. The potty exploded Tuesday when a buildup of methane gas mixed with the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for […]

Just one comment...

...on today's Paul Krugman column in the New York Times. As I said last week, I don't see how Mr. Bush can win this debate. It doesn't matter what "it" is. Can anyone remember a time when Krugman thought Bush could win any debate? Is there any decision Bush has ever made that Krugman thought […]
