The former editor of the New York Times has taken on the serious subject of President Bush's intelligence, or, from his analysis, the lack thereof. Bush's former counselor Karen Hughes, in her awkwardly named book "Ten Minutes From Normal," assures us that what "Bush does best of all" is "ask questions that bore to the […]
It should come as no surprise that the man who just a couple of weeks ago took umbrage at being called a quasi-socialst comes out today for the government taking over the healthcare industry. Paul Krugman's column today endorses the nationalization of a huge chunk of the American economy. Does this mean that the American […]
From today's New York Times: [A] front-page article on Aug. 4 about evidence that Islamic groups are training fighters in Pakistan and sending them into Afghanistan misstated the nature of a 1998 American air strike on a militant training camp in Afghanistan. It was carried out with cruise missiles fired from ships in the Arabian […]
So, what is former Democrat Sen. Max Cleland's paying gig nowadays? He spent yesterday in a bit of political theater attempting to deliver a letter to President Bush at his Texas ranch. Cleland is one of Kerry's lead surrogates and spends much of his time criss-crossing the nation on Kerry's behalf. So, one would guess […]

An Islamic scholar who had been hired by Notre Dame to teach religion (yeah, I know it doesn't make much sense -- Catholic University and all) has had his visa revoked. "Generally speaking, criteria for revocation include public safety risk, or national security threat," DHS spokesman Dean Boyd said. However, what really caught my eye […]
Don Luskin slams New York Times columnist Paul Krugman for his tireless work in making one of his own predictions come true. Krugman's Tuesday column was one big whine about this election being the nastiest on record. Left out is that Krugman has done his best over the past four years to drag political speech […]
McQ over at QandO has tracked down a statement in last week's New York Times hit piece on the Swift Boat Veterans and discovered something worthy of a correction. But in that article there was this paragraph: A damage report to Mr. Thurlow's boat shows that it received three bullet holes, suggesting enemy fire, and […]
The New York Times TV Watch column by Alessandra Stanley is unintentionally hilarious. [T]here is the fog of war and then there is the fog of cable.
