CNN pulled a dumb-dumb on its Web site. You can order T-shirts with "ripped" from CNN's headlines. Of course, you can get the T-shirt to say anything you want by just changing the URL. Unfortunately, you can't order them. UPDATE CNN has fixed this loophole.

I just got back from watching the penultimate showing of the night of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" at the local cineplex. A couple of things to note: First, it's rated "R" for good reason. Second, it's really funny. Jason Segel plays Peter Bretter, a "composer" who is in a long term relationship with Sarah Marshall (unattainable […]

Karl Rove wrote a letter to MSNBC's Dan Abrams which contained a number of questions regarding Abrams' personal journalistic standards (or lack thereof). Unsure of what to do, Abrams sent the letter, with his answers interspersed [reproduced here in bold] to his mentor, Keith Olbermann. Dear Mr. Abrams: Karl Rove called me "mister." On April […]

I'm looking forward to watching HBO's "John Adams" miniseries once it hits DVD, but someone's got the history wrong -- either HBO or the Los Angeles Times. I'm betting on the one with "four levels of editors." In his portrayal of our second president, Paul Giamatti creates a man perpetually dissatisfied, disgusted by the preening […]

What if "fossil fuels" weren't made of fossils at all? What if the earth naturally made petroleum? What if gasoline was a renewable resource? Imagine the howls from the environmentalist left if there was no such thing as "peak oil." It may be true. Just what the latest Brazil find (dubbed "Sugarloaf Mountain") could mean […]

It's been much easier, however, to get the highlights from the various blogs. From some of the liveblogging I've managed to read, it seems to have shocked lots of people on the […]

This story is well worth your time. Don't start reading unless you have tissues handy.

First off, for those who didn't know: It doesn't matter what kind of speaker cables, HDMI cables, composite cables or any other audio/visual cables you use -- they're all basically the same. Don't buy into the hype -- for 99 percent of uses you won't be able to tell the $100 cables from the $10 […]

Color me confused. For the second time this presidential primary season, Democrats gathered Sunday night at a forum where they each spent better than 30 minutes talking about their faith. John McCain was invited to take part, but declined. The so-called "Compassion Forum" had both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama giving their testimonies and calling […]

It should come as no surprise that if government perverts the market in such a way as to artificially inflate the cost of food when used as fuel, that less food would actually be used as food. Well, it's come as a surprise to some. Many specialists in food policy consider government mandates for biofuels […]
