Garry Wills, author of "Head and Heart: American Christianities," wrote this woefully inaccurate and misinformed op-ed piece in today's Los Angeles Times. I'll let Ramesh Ponnuru have the first word on this: He has a long, confused op-ed on abortion in the L. A. Times. His focus on evangelicals is a little odd—if all you […]

Paul Krugman thinks that he's Isaac Asimov's genius social scientist/psychohistorian Hari Seldon. At least he's got the "psycho" part right.

Yesterday, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced they would support Attorney General-nominee Michael Mukasey. Schumer was backed into this corner after he had tossed Mukasey's name out as an acceptable nominee while the president was deciding on his pick. Not even he thought the waterboarding canard was sufficient cover for […]

John Edwards' latest Web ad is just devastating. Ouch.

Seriously, I don't know how else to explain Sen. Ted Kennedy's explanation of why he's not going to vote to approve Judge Michael Mukasey's nomination for attorney general. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said Thursday that he intends to oppose the nomination, arguing that Mukasey's unwillingness to answer definitively on the legality of the interrogation […]

The other day I published a link-filled post about a report in the Times by media writer Tim Rutten on the TNR-Beauchamp affair […]

Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards told the Concord Monitor that as president he will solve all America's problems -- real and perceived. "I think if we want to fund the things that I think are important to share in prosperity, then people who have done well in this country, including me, have more of a […]

Longtime Los Angeles Times media writer David Shaw must be spinning in his grave after his successor Tim Rutten and his "four levels of editors" let this mistake-filled piece run in the paper last Saturday. Bob Owens, who has owned this story, goes through the mistakes here. Patterico has been e-mailing the Times public editor, […]

It looks like President George W. Bush is probably going to have to recess appoint Judge Michael Mukasey to be attorney general. Democrats, and some Republicans, are demanding that Mukasey state for the record that the interrogation technique known as waterboarding is illegal. “I am urging him that he needs to come forward. If he […]
