Be sure to check out this editorial from the New York Sun. The editorial takes New York Times columnist Frank Rich to task for playing fast and loose with the truth -- a not uncommon malady on the Times editorial pages.

Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham pleaded guilty today in federal court to tax evasion, wire and mail fraud and conspiring to accept bribes.

Over at the Logic Times they have an analysis of the infamous Iraq Body Count numbers in light of the demographics of Iraq.
