Sean Hackbarth does some Howard "The Duck" hunting. Check it out.
Columnist Ben Shapiro wins today's award with the following paragraph, part of an article summarizing some of Moveon.org's 30 second commercial finalists: I've saved two of the best for last. One of my favorites is Eric Martin's "Bush's Repair Shop." President Bush and Vice President Cheney are portrayed as mechanics, destroying a car they are […]
As one of the few people with a journalism degree who actually took (and passed -- barely) multi-variable calculus, I continue to find math interesting, especially when something like this happens. The Poincare Conjecture, named after the Frenchman who proposed it in 1904, is the question that essentially founded the field of topology, the "rubber-sheet […]
The New Republic has an excellent article outlining what may be one of Democrat presidential wannabe Howard Dean's fatal flaws. As conversion stories go, Dean's hardly conforms to the conventions of the genre. Rather than show how religion helped him to change his life--see, again, Bush overcoming the bottle--it shows how a conflict in everyday […]
New York Times most irrelevant columnist has written yet another column warning that the U.S. economy is becoming the spitting image of a failing Third World nation, specifically Argentina. Nothing new here. Truth is, Krugman is losing it. It's one thing to try and peddle this pap when the economy is in a mild recession, […]
Still watching the stupid debate, but the most priceless moment of the night's debate just occurred. The speaker, Howard Dean: I am going to balance the budget and I'm going to do it in the sixth or seventh year of my administration. We're also going....What? And where the ellipsis occurs in that quote there was […]
I'm watching a replay of today's Democrat presidential candidate debate -- and it isn't pretty. It's become obvious to me why these forums are increasingly useless; if you're looking for truth, you won't find it in the debates. Some of these loons are making statements which are demonstrably false and no one -- not the […]
While I was sick, CBS has denied last week's New York Times report that it paid Michael Jackson $1 million, through Enron-style accounting, for his "60 Minutes" interview. I mentioned the story earlier here.
Today's New York Times has a follow-up piece on Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean's cynical-appearing plan to talk more about his "faith" in the more-religious Southern states. Dr. Dean recently told an audience in Iowa that he prayed daily. On the plane he declined to detail his prayer ritual but described how a 2002 trip […]
Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean has been criticized for sealing many documents from his time as governor of Vermont. Dean claims that he's just doing what every other Vermont governor has done -- only for about twice as long. Of course, the media will find whatever may be damaging to Dean, because someone will leak […]
