When the GOP tries to add some balance to PBS programming or threatens to cut off funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting there's a firestorm of controversy and charges about the evil Republicans.

Tony Snow's colon cancer has returned and spread to his liver. Pray for him. If there's any doubt that the left is full of hate and vitriol, you only need compare the heartfelt sympathy extended last week to Elizabeth Edwards by people of goodwill of all political stripes when it revealed that her cancer had […]
