I've got a few quick hits for you this Friday in global warming news. First, courtesy of Joliphant over at Redstate, comes the following graphic: Is increased C02 causing global warming? Or maybe is it caused by global warming? Second, we have news that all the coal-fired power plants and SUVs on Mars are a […]
I went out to the movie theater for the first time in months Thursday evening to see "Amazing Grace," the story of William Wilberforce and his crusade to abolish slavery in the British empire. Before I talk about the film, a couple of unrelated notes. First, movie tickets at my local theater are now $10, […]
Sony's PlayStation unit has had a bad year. Last November, Sony launched their Playstation3 video game console. Depending on the model you chose, it would run either $499 or $599 -- that includes the console, one game controller and zero games. The only half-way decent game at launch was a first-person shooter called "Resistance: Fall […]
Democrats on Capitol Hill are paying back those who helped them take back control of Congress this year with the positively Orwellian "Employee Free Choice Act." The bill, which would do away with the secret ballot for certifying union certification, is being carried by the Democrats on behalf of labor unions. Thursday's San Diego Union-Tribune […]
Sen.

Miller Clark was convicted in the deaths of three police officers during the 1981 Brinks heist in Nyack, N.Y. As the story was updated […]
Jurors are still deliberating former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's fate in the trial over nothing. But the "Media Blog" over at National Review Online highlights this column by Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell regarding the op-ed piece by Victoria Toensing I highlighted last week. While Toensing is a partisan, she […]
You've got to love this from the free-market Tennessee Center for Policy Research. Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy. Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area […]
The mainstream media doesn't much reflect America when it comes to a variety of issues. The media is largely secular and even more leftist than the communities they represent -- and that's probably true even in San Francisco. So, it should come as little surprise that Poynter highlighted this letter from former newsman Michael Graham […]
