The big news today on the covers of The New York Times and Washington Post is retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez's attack on the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq War. That's the front page news, but that was only about half of Sanchez's remarks to the gathering of Military Reporters and Editors. In fact, […]
There's a new report out today on abortion worldwide and, as always, I'm skeptical. Why? Unsafe abortion has not declined worldwide, however, and is concentrated in developing countries, according to a study conducted by Dr. Gilda Sedgh of the Guttmacher Institute in New York, Dr. Iqbal Shah of World Health Organization in Switzerland and colleagues. […]
Someone help me out here. How exactly does a crusade against global warming tie in with the whole "Peace" idea? On a related note: Anyone want to put down some odds on the method of transportation Gore uses to fly across the pond to pick up his prize?
I haven't been posting as much lately for two reasons: There's not as much happening that's really inspiring me to write (this super-early primary stuff is ridiculous); and I've been playing Halo 3. (There's a great Wired magazine story on how they tested the game here.) I mention this because Washington Wizards basketball star Gilbert […]
It's been more than two months since The New Republic's Baghdad Diarist, Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp, was exposed as a fraud, and the magazines editors have been silent. Why? Because they now know that Beauchamp is a liar and they don't want to expose the joke that is their credibility. Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee […]
I finally got around to finishing Gregory Boyd's "The Myth of a Christian Nation" the other day, and whatever you may think of his theology (e.g. that God is not omniscient) the book is well worth a read. While I disagree with quite a bit of Boyd's political analysis, he does offer some words of […]
The political brouhaha that has come up as a result of the Democrats S-CHIP public relations stunt using Graeme Frost of Baltimore, Md., reached the pages of The New York Times. This new reporting by the Times requires some corrections of facts stated in my previous blog post. The countertops in their kitchen are concrete […]
than to be Frank Rich and remove all doubt. The New York Times columnist on Sunday took on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and was quickly handed his hat by Orin Kerr, who points out that the "Yalie" law school network doesn't typically (read: never) count an entry level lawyering job in Missouri as a […]
A couple of interesting notes on the global warming front: First, a British court has ruled that Al Gore's global warming propaganda flick, "An Inconvenient Truth," contains 11 falsehoods. For the record they are: The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this […]
The 9/11 Commission Report pinned a good part of the failure to prevent the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on the wall that had been erected to keep the intelligence and law enforcement communities from talking to each other. Intelligence information could taint criminal trials, and had to be kept from the FBI […]
