The Los Angeles Times' media critic, David Shaw (who usually does good work), has gotten quite a bit of flak from the blogosphere because of his disdain for non-journalists practicing punditry. Unlike blogs, Shaw takes pride in the fact that reporters for newspapers have their work vetted by "four experienced editors" before going to press. […]

Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean is trying to "reach out" to pro-lifers -- kinda. He discussed the abortion debate after a student questioned why the party was supporting Bob Casey Jr., a Pennsylvania Democrat challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Santorum. The chairman tried to draw a distinction between Casey and Santorum, even though both men […]

The fact that President Bush nominated a man to replace a woman on the Supreme Court got Colorado's junior senator, Ken Salazar, panties in a twist. Dear President Bush: I do not know yet how I will vote on the confirmation of Judge John G. Roberts Jr. I will honor the processes of the Senate […]

I pointed out earlier that the left behaved like Pavlov's dog the second Bush named his pick -- no one Bush could've selected would be acceptable to the Kos Kids. If Bush had selected Ralph Neas or Nan Aron, the tinfoil hat crowd would've been screaming "Manchurian Candidate!" So, it really isn't surprising that you'd […]

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, hoping to lock up the San Francisco area vote, has decided to hang the following "art" in the lobby of his office. Rumor has it that Lockyer will be running for state treasurer next year -- and he'll probably get it because he's a Democrat. Sometimes we get the government […]

I poked my head into a bookstore/newsstand yesterday afternoon as I was walking around downtown Stonington, Conn., with my family, and picked up a copy of the Hartford Courant. What caught my eye was this story at the bottom of Page 1: "Bloggers Helping To Keep Rove Story Boiling." Unfortunately, you can read the entire […]
