The New York Times is getting some grief -- perhaps deserved -- for its seeming failure to consistently label GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a governor. A secondary complaint is that the married Palin is also described as Ms. and not Mrs. The article in question is this one, a […]
Charles Martin has helpfully collected what is sure to be the definitive list of Sarah Palin truths and falsehoods.
Clark Hoyt has been a tremendous disappointment as the New York Times' public editor. The skepticism that an experienced reporter like Hoyt should have to authority vanishes far too often when it comes to his own boss. Today, Hoyt covers for the Times' embarrassing reporting on Sarah Palin. Let's start with this: And, yes, it […]
First off, I finally got to see the entireity of Gov. Sarah Palin's address when the late-night replay came on. She did well. I don't think it is difficult for the public to see her as a potential vice president -- and that was the most important thing. I also got to catch Giuliani's address […]
I'm more than a little steamed by the looney left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) and their treatment of Gov. Sarah Palin and her family. Case in point, the wonderful Democrats at DailyKos: [not a link to the sewer] "If health insurance for all, an end to the Iraq War, an end […]
The two big news stories today are Hurricane Gustav and the revelation that Gov. Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.

I've mentioned before that Sen. Barack Obama's performance at Saturday evening's Civil Forum on the Presidency at Saddleback Church was noticably inferior to that of John McCain. Where Obama paused, uhhh'd and stumbled his way through much of the evening, McCain appeared in his element and much better composed. Obama's people have taken these disparate […]
So, it's not really a TiVo, but everyone understands that ubiquitous term as opposed to the slightly more obscure PVR -- which is what I'm really using. (Transcript can be found here.) As I have done before, let me re-state my concern about having pastors/priests/men of God dabbling in partisan politics: They shouldn't. Having said […]
I was asked the following question a couple of weeks back and I think everyone deserves an answer: "Is there anything you think John McCain's done wrong or Barack Obama's done right?" Things I think McCain's done wrong -- in no particular order: His continued opposition to drilling in ANWR. McCain-Feingold (campaign finance "reform") McCain-Kennedy […]
