We'll start with the two bad: First, The New York Times completely ignores the announcement that the Medal of Honor will be awarded posthumously to Lt. Michael Murphy of Long Island.

The media followed-up yesterday on retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez's remarks attacking the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq War. However, the silence on his remarks about the media continues. Nothing at Poynter.org's Romenesko blog. No follow-up or reaction at Editor & Publisher.

Unsafe abortion has not declined worldwide, however, and is concentrated in developing countries, according to a study conducted by Dr. Gilda Sedgh of the Guttmacher Institute in New York, Dr. Iqbal Shah of World Health Organization in Switzerland and colleagues.

Someone help me out here. How exactly does a crusade against global warming tie in with the whole "Peace" idea? On a related note: Anyone want to put down some odds on the method of transportation Gore uses to fly across the pond to pick up his prize?

I haven't been posting as much lately for two reasons: There's not as much happening that's really inspiring me to write (this super-early primary stuff is ridiculous); and I've been playing Halo 3.
