The mainstream media is lying about Nadagate and it knows it. Some could argue that it is incompetence, but I'm going to go with lying. Today's Exhibit A is Fox News pundit and NPR "reporter" Juan Williams. During the roundtable discussion on "Fox News Sunday," Brit Hume again tried -- and failed -- to educate […]
Glenn Reynolds has a couple of informative and link-filled posts on Nadagate and other related issues. Unsurprisingly, the CIA comes off as clueless. Consider: Assuming that Valerie Plame was some sort of genuinely covert operative -- something that's not actually quite clear from the indictment -- the chain of events looks pretty damning: Wilson was […]
Let's play a little Jeopardy! Answer: Roy Neel and Ron Klaine. Question: Who were two of Vice President Al Gore's chiefs of staff? Never heard of them before, huh? Is the loss of the chief of staff of the vice president really a heavy blow to the presidency? If you were to list the people […]
Umm, if you haven't set your clocks back one hour, you might want to do that now.
We've got two bits of news from those lovable Islamists. First, they decided that Christians aren't the only people they hate. They hate Hindus too. Second, they also like to prove how manly they are by chopping off the heads of Christian schoolgirls. Cowards.
We here at Hoystory would like to welcome Steven "racist" Gilliard and the idiots over at Daily Kos to the real world, where what you say and do can have an effect on how you are perceived by other people. For some background check out these two posts. To sum up: A black, liberal, racist […]
I've long argued that the New York Times editorial page is partisan, not principled. Most recently, the Times bemoaned the failure to throw money at the New Orleans levee system in the wake of Hurricane Katrina -- yet months earlier they had attacked funding for the levees as unnecessary pork. So, today it should be […]
Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald indicted I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby today on five counts related to the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's name. You can read the indictment here. [PDF document] Libby faces charges of one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements. Here's a few […]
There's supposed to be indictment(s) handed down today in Nadagate -- more commonly known as the "Plame Affair." (That sounds like a title for a Robert Ludlum novel.) The New York Times is reporting that I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, will be indicted for allegedly making false statements to the […]
Yeah, I know it's an oxymoron, but check out this article in today's Wall Street Journal on religious schools' difficulties at getting the University of California system's blessing on their courses. At issue -- among many things -- is the textbooks used in these courses. The physics textbook is like any other--with pure science in […]
