Bestselling liar Richard Clarke appeared Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." Most of host Tim Russert's questioning wasn't much different than what Clarke faced before the 9/11 commission. Russert's questioning was largely disappointing. He was much tougher on former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean when he appeared on the program. Setting that aside, when Clarke left […]
LAObserved has extended the story regarding the bogus brouhaha when it was revealed that former USA Today reporter/fabricator Jack Kelley was *gasp* a Christian. One target of the not-so-tolerant left's shotgun-style attack was Los Angeles Times reporter Roy Rivenburg, who had the bad luck to be identified as a World Journalism Institute lecturer and be […]
So I"m reading Xbox Nation magazine and I come across a brief news item regarding and upcoming game from LucasArts. A third-person action game, Mercenaries (its working title) seems to be an ultraviolent third-person explosion fest. Mercs can pick and choose sides, working for either the North Koreans, Chinese, Russian Mafia or United Nations. So, […]
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.

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. Krugman turned comments chiding a Republican congressman for a bigoted comment against Sikhs and Bill Maher's infamous characterizations of the 9/11 hijackers as brave and Americans […]
For today's fisking of the latest Krugman screed, check out Luskin. I do find it curious however that the only former administration officials Krugman seems to trust are ones who share Krugman's preconceived opinion of the president.
