I was going to refrain from beating up on Michael Moore for awhile just because it seemed like piling on. After all, sites like www.moorelies.com, www.bowlingfortruth.com and www.moorewatch.com, are doing a pretty good job of ensuring that the Oscar-winning filmmaker's propaganda doesn't go unchallenged. But then I read today's "column" by my favorite New York […]
King County in wet Washington State is poised to guarantee the state stays green by only allowing you to build on 10 percent of your land. Furthermore, 65 percent of your land you can't touch at all -- the remaining 25 percent I suppose you're allowed to put a garden or maybe make a soccer […]
A lot of Texas teachers worked as janitors today to exploit a loophole and steal from the Social Security system. Today was the last day the loophole existed which allowed teachers to claim increased spousal support benefits if they worked their last day as a Social Security-paying employee. Most teachers in Texas (and in states […]
I was checking out propagandist Michael Moore's Web site the other day and was surprised to find a page on how to help the soldiers. I was surprised, but then I took a closer look. Moore's "help" to the soldiers includes offering to send them free copies of his books or movies. I would encourage […]
Christopher Johnson analyzes some of the curious "logic" the Episcopal Church is using to excise certain inconvenient Bible verses. My favorite line: With Richard Hooker and many Anglican theologians through the last five centuries, we believe scripture is brought to life for contemporary believers through interpretation. Richard Hooker's body just drilled Kent a new sewer […]
You can find Evan Coyne Maloney's latest work on Bill Clinton here. Maloney went to Clinton's New York book signing and he's got some good stuff. You don't even have to get a minute into the video before you get this: Young woman: I told him (Clinton) he was an inspiration for me. Maloney: And […]
For all the commentary you need to read on the New York Times' favorite columnist, Paul Krugman, check out this post by Roger L. Simon. Also, the first comment nearly had me falling out my chair laughing. You wouldn�t catch Paul Krugman dead... Stop teasing us! Heh.
It's an election year, and the media continues to do a shoddy job of covering probably the most important presidential contest in more than two decades. It's a common lament, but the media spends much of its time not analyzing proposed policies or doing in-depth pieces on the candidates' records, but doing stories on the […]
Columnist and blogger extraordinaire James Lileks answered the front door the other day and found a Kerry supporter on his stoop. A minor political note, if you�re interested in such things. The other day a young girl came to the door to solicit my support for her presidential candidate. I asked her why I should […]
Remember those suits filed by abortion providers against the law banning partial birth abortion? Remember all of the euphemisms the "doctors" used to describe the process? "Disarticulation," "render unpregnant," etc.? Don't forget this is what we're talking about. The "product of conception" is a baby.
