Former President Jimmy Carter gave an interview to German magazine Der Speigel -- and it's apparent that if he isn't senile then he's anti-Semitic at best and a fool at worst. SPIEGEL: You also mentioned the hatred for the United States throughout the Arab world which has ensued as a result of the invasion of […]
It should come as little surprise that the ACLU found a district judge -- a Carter appointee -- to ignore previous rulings on Presidential commander-in-chief powers and find the NSA wiretapping program illegal. [PDF of the decision here.] Eugene Volokh over at the Volokh Conspiracy has some more analysis of the ruling, and he doesn't […]
And I don't think it's the commandant of the Marine Corps. A few things that too many newspapers don't seem to get yet. The Internet is the greatest contribution to fact-checking in history. If you get something wrong and refuse to fess up, then the blogosphere allows your faux pas to get wide circulation -- […]
Today we're going to point and laugh at Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Obama, like many on the left, is all for having people drive more fuel efficient cars -- of course, "senators" are not "people" -- they're better than people. So at a town hall meeting the other night, Obama encouraged people to buy hybrid […]

Well, here's news from the University of Wisconsin refusing to recognize -- or derecognizing previously recognized -- Christian groups in defiance of federal law. Apparently, the administrators at Wisconsin are being advised on this issue by the Judicial Equality Foundation. Blogger […]
The coverage of Colorado's redistricting pales in comparison to the attention given to the mid-decade redistricting that occurred in Texas.

Keeping those facts […]
On the other hand, the media, in trying to prove that Republicans are stupid, make themselves look stupid. Q Does the President support the Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut? MR. SNOW: The President supports the democratic process in the state of Connecticut, and wishes them a successful election in November. Q Wait a minute. […]
Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo CFO, will become the new CEO. Apparently that commencement address wasn't fatal to her career.
I pulled out my old college photojournalism book the other day in the wake of the staging of photos coming out of the Israeli-Hezbollah war in Southern Lebanon. The book, "Photojournalism: The Professional's Approach" (I've got the 2nd Edition) by Kenneth Kobre is obviously something that Reuters photographers need to read. The staging of news […]
The New York Times' Fig tree known as public editor Byron Calame revisited the Times revelation of the NSA terrorist surveillance program with his Sunday column, confirming that the Times did in fact know of the program before the 2004 presidential election. Mr. Keller, who wouldn’t answer any questions for my January column, recently agreed […]
