I'd apologize for the lack of blogging over the past few days, but you get what you pay for. I've been feeling seriously miserable with some sort of bug -- stomach cramps, fever, nausea -- and I blame global warming ... or Mexican food.

John Temple, the editor of the Rocky Mountain News, following the lead of your favorite blogger (I mean ME!), has ripped into Editor & Publisher. If you read Greg Mitchell's columns on Iraq and now the Israel/Hezbollah conflict it's clear why Editor & Publisher has become increasingly irrelevant. Mitchell, the editor of the trade magazine […]

There's a good portion of the population of California -- and the nation -- that is opposed to issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens. These people have been called neocons, anti-immigrant, minutemen and, as of yesterday, "crackers." So, who's tossing the racist slur around today? If you guessed a Democrat, you'd be right. This time […]

A federal appeals court yesterday refused GOP requests to put someone other than former Rep. Tom DeLay on the ballot. The GOP lawyer: "This is completely incomparable with a viable two-party system," Bopp said. "This makes a mockery of our democratic system and denies voters a meaningful choice."

About every other week "media writer" Neal Gabler (how come I've never seen anything he writes on the Web?) complains on "Fox News Watch" that any media reporting on Iraq that isn't negative somehow paints a "false" picture of what Gabler knows is going on there.

Unfortunately for the media, ABC News' Sam Donaldson was in attendence and he came […]

Stephen Colbert interviews Washington, D.C. delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. The expression on her face when Colbert argues that people from D.C. aren't Americans is priceless.

The New York Times had an interesting article in its Sunday paper on Rev. Gregory A. Boyd in Minnesota. The headline: "Disowning Conservative Politics, Evangelical Pastor Rattles Flock." There's a lot to the article, but as you're reading, you also have to try to sift and sort through the Times' "cosmopolitan" viewpoint -- sometimes you […]

It looks like Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Cop-puncher) is going to be sent packing from Congress again -- Fox News reported that she's trailing her opponent, Hank Johnson by 15-20 points in most polls. But that's not what I want to share with you. No, I want you to know that the nutjob who you pass […]

Editor & Publisher, the publication I just love to beat up, has a brief on a lawsuit by wacky Rep. Cynthia McKinney's libel suit against the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I love this bit: Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney filed charges against the newspaper's editor Cynthia Tucker and publisher John Mellott for an editorial column that ran in […]
