President Clinton's former hatchet-man, Sidney Blumenthal, comes out swinging in defense of Dan Rather and his laughable lawsuit in this article over at Salon.com. You don't need to read past the third paragraph of the story to see the return of "fake but accurate." In making his case, Rather will certainly establish beyond reasonable doubt […]

Today's San Diego Union-Tribune has an article on the shrinking Arctic ice and its potential to cause drought in Southern California. A few thoughts: First, Southern California is a desert. I've lived in San Diego County for most of my life and there have been drought conditions more often than not. This time we apparently […]

You can't always blame the education system for the poor state of civics education -- sometimes you get to blame judges. In a story in Sunday's Union-Tribune about a program to educate teachers on how t teach about the justice system to their students, Superior Court Judge Richard G.

I mentioned last week that former anchor Dan Rather had filed suit against CBS. I continue to look forward to the discovery process.

Steve McIntyre and friends are trying to […]

New York Times public editor Clark Hoyt revealed in his Sunday column that MoveOn.org's infamous "General Betray Us" ad was not only sold at a discount, but should never have run in the first place according to the paper's standards for advocacy advertising. Did MoveOn.org get favored treatment from The Times? And was the ad […]

I mentioned this story a month ago, and justice was finally done for Richard Paey yesterday as he finally received a full pardon. A victim in the war on drugs, Richard Paey was just wheeled out of prison by a guard, a free man for the first time in 3 ½ years thanks to an […]

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas got an amendment voted on Thursday that pitted Democrats against one of their biggest advocacy groups: MoveOn.org. It wasn't like this was an easy call for most Democrats. It wasn't MoveOn.org vs. the National Rifle Association or the Federalist Society. It was MoveOn.org vs. a highly respected, unanimously confirmed, highly […]

Bob Owens notes that it's been two months since The New Republic editor Franklin Foer pledged to investigate the Scott Thomas Beauchamp fraud. Owens summarizes the overwhelming evidence that Beauchamp's writings were fiction and TNR's willful deceptions. And all we have from Foer is silence.
