Where the promise is

These sorts of stories don't often make the front pages of newspapers because the embryonic stem cell debate is so much more popular with the crusading liberal media, but a San Diego biotech firm got a $30 million investment from Olympus to further their adult stem cell research. Cytori said yesterday it signed a deal […]

That other thing that was annoying me

I posted earlier this week about a couple of my current pet peeves -- and I knew at the time I was forgetting one. Here it is: The sideline reporter that the Chargers radio broadcaster employs -- a woman whose name I don't know -- last weekend went on the air and told the guys […]

Bums

It's always nice to know what your elected representatives think of you. Massachusetts Rep. Martin Meehan, one of a substantial group of Democrats who defeated the Online Freedom of Speech Act yesterday, thinks that bloggers who opine on politics are kinda like child pornographers. "We don't allow child pornography on the Internet. We don't exempt […]

The answer is "no"

The question is here. The truth is I've never found New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd particularly amusing, and her whining about men is particularly lame. Maureen Dowd's penchant for provocative overstatement has found its most recent outlet in a much talked about excerpt of her new book, Are Men Necessary?, in the New York […]

Lies, damn lies, and polls

Today's lesson is to never take a major media poll at face value. The latest CBS News poll has President Bush's job approval at a miniscule 35 percent -- that's 4-8 points lower than just about every other poll out there. How does CBS News get such a low number? Real Clear Politics points out […]

What TimesSelect hides from you

Today's David Brooks column is the funniest thing I've read in weeks. I read it for free because I have access to the wire, you'd have to pay for it. I'm going to quote a bit of it, just so you can appreciate just how big a mistake the New York Times is doing by […]

Racism in America

This editorial is proof positive that the editorial writers at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are condescending liberal racists. In decrying the nomination of yet another white male to the Supreme Court, the Journal Sentinel enlightens their readers on the current makeup of the Court. In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven […]

Unsurprised

Democrats have decided to attempt to elevate Joseph Wilson, liar, to sainthood by invoking a closed session on pre-war intelligence. According to news reports, the Senate hasn't met in closed session in 25 years and, as further evidence of the divisions on Capitol Hill, Senate minority leader Harry Reid didn't notify his GOP counterpart, Sen.

Mapes makes her case

Mary Mapes, the "60 Minutes II" producer who brought us the fake George W. Bush National Guard documents, tells her side of the story in an upcoming book which is excerpted in December's Vanity Fair magazine. If you want the truth, don't read Mapes' account, but check out this post over at Little Green Footballs. […]

A couple of things that are bugging me

There's a public service announcement on the the radio informing people that they can vote early at the "register of voters office." I'm not hearing him wrong, he says "register" five times. I'm also sick and tired of the radio commercial featuring a woman who made a great "investment" for her family over the weekend […]
