When I turned in my timecard early this morning, I had worked 58 hours this past week. Considering that fact, you're all lucky that Hoystory didn't go dark for much of the week. OK, you're not lucky, I'm a news/blogging junkie and couldn't help myself. After all, with the nasty cold (which I'm almost over) […]
The name isn't familiar. Neither is her face to the overwhelming majority of Americans. Atwar Bahjat was one of Iraq's new breed of television journalists. In a country experiencing a free press for the first time in decades, newspapers have been experiencing a boom that American newspapers can only dream of and government run television […]
Retired Gen. Anthony Zinni is one of a handful of former generals who are demanding that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resign for stuff that happened three years ago. Unfortunately, Zinni apparently doesn't follow the lead of former Gen. George Washington. Zinni can tell a lie, or, if not a lie, he can conveniently forget things. […]
Here's a link to save from the Weekly Standard's blog -- it's a pretty comprehensive list of former ambassador Joseph Wilson's changing stories on whether or not Iraq was trying to get uranium from Niger. If anyone still believed Wilson was credible, this should dissuade them (unless they're suffering from an advanced case of BDS).
If you haven't read this already, then you should -- a U.S. soldier set's Rep. John Murtha and his supporters straight in The Washington Post.
Over at National Review's Media blog they've identified three flat out lies from Monday night's "Hardball" broadcast. Here are the facts David Shuster got wrong, either wholly or in large part: 1) While the "vigorously trying to procure uranium" is not a key judgment, a similar key judgment says: "Although we assess that Saddam does […]
News today that you should take President Bush's look into the soul of Russian President Vladimir Putin and that whole "trust" thing with a heaping dose of skepticism. The Russian government had sources inside the American military command as the U.S. mounted the invasion of Iraq, and the Russians passed information to Saddam Hussein on […]
What if there was an anti-war protest and no one came? OK, how about if there was an anti-war protest and only two people showed up? Talk about a slow news day -- and it even merited a photo. What a waste of precious journalistic resources.
Media Matters for America is the left-wing answer to Brent Bozell's Media Research Center and is headed by David Brock, the one-time right-wing hatchet man who "saw the light," admitted that he was a liar and became a left-wing hatchet man saint. I don't often visit Media Matters because they spend much of their time […]
One would hope that the sad silliness that has become Cindy Sheehan's life would be close to disappearing from the public eye. The anti-Semitic nitwit got arrested once more to make a silly, empty point. Women Say No to War, which helped organize the news conference and march, said Sheehan and three other women were […]
