I got up early Saturday morning (and stayed up late, but that's story) and headed out to Ramona for the Wildlife Research Institute's Hawkwatch program. What did I learn? Birds fly south for the Winter. For a couple months, Ramona counts as "south." A 400mm (35mm film equivalent) lens is not nearly enough for serious […]

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin gets in touch with his inner nut. Mayor Ray Nagin suggested Monday that Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and other storms were a sign that "God is mad at America" and at black communities, too, for tearing themselves apart with violence and political infighting. "Surely God is mad at America. He […]

I've made this point before, but The Washington Post's David Broder brings up the issue in his Sunday column and shows just how far out of touch with reality the liberal elite is. At no point that I heard did Alito express sympathy for the men and women who came to his court looking for […]

There's been a lot of hubbub around the blogosphere about this photo that was published on the New York Times Web site over the weekend. When first published, the Times referred to the artillery shell in the photo as "the remains of a missile." The blogosphere assailed the Times for its ignorance of things military, […]

Today's St. Petersburg Times has a largely superficial look at bloggers who closely watch American Muslims and mosques for terror ties. I must confess that of the bloggers mentioned in the story, only Robert Spencer, author and proprietor of JihadWatch.com, was a familiar name to me. The article is mainly a "he said, she said" […]

Let's say that you were sensitive to anti-religious bigotry. Would you be offended by the following conversation? Should you be? Person A: The apostles all had bad endings ... sawed in half. Person B: Ah, the good ol' days. Just askin'.

If you haven't already read this, do it now. It's an account of how the New York Times didn't feel as outraged about the Clinton administration's wide-ranging Echelon spying program as they do about the Bush administration's comparatively limited surveillance program. I've often said of the Times editorial page that it is partisan, not principled. […]

The Washington Post's Robin Givhan critiques the Alitos' choice of dress. The Post would be well-advised to send Givhan back to the typing pool and hire some better editors and reporters.
