Muzzammil Hassan, a Muslim who started Bridges TV to promote a better understanding of Muslims, was arrested last week on charges he beheaded his wife. If you haven't heard this reported on the news, then you're not alone. Granted, using Google News search results as a barometer isn't necessarily the most accurate tool for assessing […]
New York Times columnist Nick Kristof was interviewed by The Daily Pennsylvanian and made the following observation about what it's like to live under the enlightened leadership of the great Obama. DP: Are there any issues you would like to see Barack Obama's presidency focus on? NK: It's a tremendous relief to have smart, intellectually […]
The folks over at Brent Bozell's Media Research Center are up in arms over what at first glance is a pretty harmless story about a bunch of old friends that appeared over at Politico. The conversations don’t begin with hello. They don’t end with goodbye. Most often they pick up with a low, drawling voice […]
The New York Times editorial board comes out against tax-cheater Tom Daschle. When President Obama nominated former Senator Tom Daschle to be his secretary of health and human services, it seemed to be a good choice. Mr. Daschle, as the co-author of a book on health care reform, knew a lot about one of the […]
Dozens of people are dead in Kentucky because of a severe ice storm that has left people without power and cut off from the outside world. FEMA has been slow to respond and the president hasn't rushed to the area to survey the damage. The media isn't interested in applying the Katrina standard to the […]
The Washington Post's Anne E. Kornblut has a hysterical article about women unable to break through the proverbial glass ceiling. I know, you think this is an old article about either: a) Hillary Rodham Clinton's failure to win the Democratic Party's nomination for president, or b) John McCain failing to win the presidency with Gov. […]
For those of you who were ever puzzled by that line in the Gettysburg Address, a score is 20. So, "four score and seven years ago" is 87. Score does not equal thousands. So, how does one explain the "headline" on this AP video describing the "scores" that marched against Roe v. Wade earlier this […]
There's more than one way to write a story. Here's how the Washington Post wrote one story yesterday. Staff Finds White House in the Technological Dark Ages By Anne E. Kornblut Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, January 22, 2009; Page A01 If the Obama campaign represented a sleek, new iPhone kind of future, the first day […]
Sen. Barack Obama was sworn in today as the 44th President of the United States. Politically, I'm sure that in the coming years that I'll oppose many of the policies Obama and the Democrat congress enact. This will likely begin tomorrow when Obama rolls back many of the abortion funding restrictions that exist under GOP […]
I often use the construction in the headline to refer to The New York Times editorial page. Most notably, I refer to that page's double-standard when it came to the use of the filibuster against judicial nominees. When filibusters were threatened (not executed) against nominees of President Bill Clinton, the page decried the practice. When […]
