It's time to once again clean up some of the open Web pages with some stuff that's worth reading: Scot McKnight over at Jesus Creed has an excellent post on the "Love the sinner, hate the sin" philosophy vis a vis homosexuality. John Leo gives out his annual award to the worst college president in […]

Do you think that any newspaper in this country would turn over its opinion pages to an op-ed exploring the wants, needs, and desires of the al Qaeda terrorist organization and give a byline to Osama bin Laden or Mullah Omar? Last week, the New York Times gave a hint as to what their response […]

Over at Patterico's Pontifications, he's got a pretty good, long comment thread regarding this story on John Edwards I highlighted on Saturday. I posted a couple of comments, and as you can probably expect, the responses from the lefties was little more than name-calling. (The exact comment was: "You're a real jacka$$ aren't you?") What […]

Senator and presidential contender Barack Obama spoke to the 50th anniversary convention for the United Church of Christ yesterday. I'll say it again: Politicians shouldn't be making campaign stops in church services or denominational convention -- and that goes for Republicans too. Church leaders said that the speaking invitation to Mr. Obama was not an […]

Friday's New York Times had an informative article on presidential hopeful John Edwards' anti-poverty organiztion. John Edwards ended 2004 with a problem: how to keep alive his public profile without the benefit of a presidential campaign that could finance his travels and pay for his political staff.

People can get addicted to just about anything. So, the American Medical Association's proposal that videogame addiction be considered a mental illness is a (excuse the pun) no-brainer. But there's an even bigger problem highlighted by the aforelinked Associated Press story -- parental responsibility, or lack thereof. Joyce Protopapas of Frisco, Texas, said her 17-year-old […]

Kyle Smith over at the New York Post has a Q&A with Evan Coyne Maloney regarding his new film "Indoctrinate U." I've heard my alma mater figures prominently -- for all the wrong reasons.

MSNBC published a report today on journalists and their donations to various politicians. The results should come as little surprise: MSNBC.com identified 144 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the […]

A new report reveals that the Iranians tried to capture some Aussie sailors back in 2004 -- and the Aussies were having none of it. The BBC reported earlier today that Iranian naval forces tried to capture the boarding team, but were repelled in the face of machine guns and "highly colourful language". Quoting a […]
