Reggie White died this morning at the much too young age of 43. White was undoubtedly a great football player, but he was a far better human being. Today's sports pages are too often are less about the outcome of the big game than what happened in courtrooms across the country. White wasn't one of […]
Today is the day that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Here are a couple of things that are worth reading before you gorge yourself on eggnog.

The Hartford Courant went out and asked a bunch of elite media bigwigs what the biggest "media story" of the year was and published their answers. My vote would be for CBS News' forged documents and the trailblazing work in exposing it by Little Green Footballs and Powerline. However, I'm not a bigwig and therefore […]

While cleaning up my bathroom last night in anticipation of my parents dropping by, I discovered 11 absentee ballots from Washington State behind the toilet. I don't know how they got there, but I've contacted election officials in King County to see if they're interested in adding them to their recount. On a slightly more […]
In a tragic setback, it appears that former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark will not be part of Saddam Hussein's defense team.

It looks as though Washington state has a new governor. After two machine recounts failed to give Democrat Christine Gregoire a victory, a statewide hand recount has reportedly allowed Democrats to keep hold of the statehouse. The Democrats quickly claimed victory. It should be noted that when Republican Dino Rossi won the first count by […]
Many of you know that the terrorists in Iraq got off a lucky shot yesterday, killing 22 people in a mess hall. What you won't find in any newspaper is this moving account from an Army chaplain who was there. "Mark" was put on a stretcher and laid along a wall. A small monitor on […]
