An op-ed in yesterday's Hartford Courant by David Medina proved once again that I'm far too sane to get a job as an editorial writer at a newspaper. Medina's article is a call to ban stun guns. Fair enough. That's certainly a position that is debateable and not outside the mainstream of public opinion. I […]

Former President Jimmy Carter gave an interview to German magazine Der Speigel -- and it's apparent that if he isn't senile then he's anti-Semitic at best and a fool at worst. SPIEGEL: You also mentioned the hatred for the United States throughout the Arab world which has ensued as a result of the invasion of […]

It should come as little surprise that the ACLU found a district judge -- a Carter appointee -- to ignore previous rulings on Presidential commander-in-chief powers and find the NSA wiretapping program illegal. [PDF of the decision here.] Eugene Volokh over at the Volokh Conspiracy has some more analysis of the ruling, and he doesn't […]

And I don't think it's the commandant of the Marine Corps. A few things that too many newspapers don't seem to get yet. The Internet is the greatest contribution to fact-checking in history. If you get something wrong and refuse to fess up, then the blogosphere allows your faux pas to get wide circulation -- […]

Today we're going to point and laugh at Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Obama, like many on the left, is all for having people drive more fuel efficient cars -- of course, "senators" are not "people" -- they're better than people. So at a town hall meeting the other night, Obama encouraged people to buy hybrid […]

Well, here's news from the University of Wisconsin refusing to recognize -- or derecognizing previously recognized -- Christian groups in defiance of federal law. Apparently, the administrators at Wisconsin are being advised on this issue by the Judicial Equality Foundation. Blogger […]

The coverage of Colorado's redistricting pales in comparison to the attention given to the mid-decade redistricting that occurred in Texas. Unlike in the Texas case, Democrats didn't flee the state in order to deny a quorum in the legislature. Also, because Colorado is a smaller state, fewer House seats were at issue. Keeping those facts […]

On the other hand, the media, in trying to prove that Republicans are stupid, make themselves look stupid. Q Does the President support the Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut? MR. SNOW: The President supports the democratic process in the state of Connecticut, and wishes them a successful election in November. Q Wait a minute. […]

Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo CFO, will become the new CEO. Apparently that commencement address wasn't fatal to her career.

I pulled out my old college photojournalism book the other day in the wake of the staging of photos coming out of the Israeli-Hezbollah war in Southern Lebanon. The book, "Photojournalism: The Professional's Approach" (I've got the 2nd Edition) by Kenneth Kobre is obviously something that Reuters photographers need to read. The staging of news […]
