That's the number that whackjob despot Mahmoud Imadinnerjacket got during his speech/Q&A at Columbia University. Does anyone want to lay odds on the likelihood of a speech given by President Bush at Columbia University getting half that many cheers? What does that say about Columbia University? What does that say about the American left?
If you're at all interested in global warming, or long for the good old days of programming in Fortran (who knew I would've been better off learning Fortran than Pascal in high school?) then you should check out some of the analysis going on over at Climate Audit. Steve McIntyre and friends are trying to […]
New York Times public editor Clark Hoyt revealed in his Sunday column that MoveOn.org's infamous "General Betray Us" ad was not only sold at a discount, but should never have run in the first place according to the paper's standards for advocacy advertising.

Ed rips into this "fact check" of this Fred Thompson statement: "You know, you look back over our history, and it doesn't take you long to realize that our people have shed more blood for other people's liberty than any other combination of nations in the history of the world.'' -- Fred D.

Suppose you were an idiot. Suppose you were a Paul Krugman fan. But I repeat myself. It turns out that the nutty, conspiracy-theorist University of Florida student that got tased at Sen. John Kerry's talk is a big Paul Krugman fan, and vice versa.
DeGaulle of Dan Rather. Mr. Rather, 75, asserts that the network violated his contract by giving him insufficient airtime on “60 Minutes” after forcing him to step down as anchor of the “CBS Evening News” in March 2005.
