Voting in Iraq

Following the news media creed that no good news may come out of Iraq, Nancy A. Youssef reports that a survey of Iraqis shows that some aren't interested in voting. BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi voters are losing interest in elections scheduled for January, and not because they're worried about security. Instead, potential voters said they […]

This is funny

Tonight's vice-presidential debate is still more than an hour away, but some people have taken National Review's Jim Gerghaty's advice and used the Democrat Party Web page to send silly e-mails lauding John Edwards' performance in tonight's debate. One individual sent their e-mail off to their local Ohio paper and have already received a profanity-laden […]

Tonight's debate

I'll be at work tonight as the debate occurs, so there will be no live-blogging of it here. For those of you who are early risers on the East Coast or insomniacs on the West, I'll have some comments in the wee hours of the morning. Some thoughts on what to look for: For President […]

Making (Democrat) votes count

The New York Times editorial board continues its series entitled "Making Votes Count" -- it will surely be the Times entry for the Pulitzers next time around. The Times sticks to the Democrat Party line that values more votes being cast over valid votes being cast -- voter fraud is not a concern. [O]ne of […]

John Kerry's problem

John Kerry has mostly avoided talking to real journalists over the past month. Sorry, as John Stewart himself acknowledges, his is a fake news show, thus making him a fake journalist. Usually candidates can count on softball interviews from the likes of Stewart, Leno and Letterman, and even occasion the morning news shows on the […]

CBS's newest problem

If you're an avid reader of the blogosphere you've already read about CBS News' latest stupidity. On Tuesday night's broadcast, the network ran a story about Bush administration plans to bring back the draft and based their reporting on ... nothing. In a story that was a textbook example of shoddy and biased reporting, CBS […]

A face for radio

Lt. Smash will be on KPBS's "These Days" show this morning at 10 a.m. talking about blogs and politics. I know this because I spent about 35 minutes on the phone Wednesday afternoon talking to one of the show's producers -- and was then told they didn't want me. If I had feelings, they'd be […]

Global warming lies

On the same day the New York Times editorial board decries global warming and the Bush administration's decision to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol -- again. For an editorial board that has decried the "meddling" of the Bush administration in "scientific" reports, it's interesting that the Times is ignoring a little bit of politicking […]

Lying, partisan hack

I haven't been beating up on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman lately because he hasn't been doing much original work. Twice a week he trots out the same old, tired claims with the words put in a slightly different order and the Times pays him all over again. As the inestimable Don Luskin points […]

Book note

I'm nearly finished reading Hugh Hewitt's latest book with the extremely unwieldy title of "If it's not close they can't cheat: Crushing the Democrats in every election and why your life depends on it." Overall the book is pretty good. You can read it in easy-to-digest bites and, despite the title it's pretty independent and […]
