Local TV News

I've gotten the opportunity to watch some of southern New England's finest local news and it's merely reinforced my perception that just about all local news is garbage. Last night, for example, the local newsreader -- I'd be extremely hesitant to call her a "journalist" -- shared the fact that one of the London bombers […]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

No spoilers here. I finished reading the book early this afternoon. It's not quite as bulky as "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," but it's still a substantial read for a book ostensibly targeted at pre-teens. The book didn't disappoint me at all and certainly leaves one anxious for the exciting conclusion to […]

Borking Rove, Rehabilitating Wilson

New York Times hack Paul Krugman weighs in on the Karl Rove non-story today instead of sharing his genius Social Security plan (raise taxes) that he promised long ago. Krugman's column is short on facts and long on slander. I first realized that we were living in Karl Rove's America during the 2000 presidential campaign, […]

I can be drafted

I may not be the strongest candidate either, but at least I'm not heading to prison.

Whacking Wilson

Tom Maguire provides a link-filled primer for reporters, bloggers and pundits interested in the whole Joseph Wilson affair. It's been awhile since I've seen a bigger bunch of political nothin'. The silly season is upon us.

Different reporter, same result

The "Today" show report I mentioned earlier was done by Jamie Gangel, not Katie Couric. However, if this is a complete and accurate account of the Joseph Wilson interview, then I was, once again, correct -- softballs only. The only semi-challenging question of Wilson was on the charge that he is/was a Democrat partisan. Gangel: […]

Back on the airwaves

NBC teased Thursday's "Today" show which will feature a Katie Couric interview with discredited former ambassador Joseph Wilson. I'm going to go way out on a very sturdy limb and predict a huge softball interview (and with my body clock so out of whack from jet lag and a drastically changed sleep schedule here in […]

Dumb

Today's nutty statement of the day comes courtesy of The Washington Post's Bob Woodward. In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Woodward offered to serve part of New York Times reporter Judith Miller's time for contempt of court as a show of solidarity. WOODWARD: I would have done it, too. And in fact, you […]

Dueling editorials

In one, Bush adviser Karl Rove is the devil, in the other he's a saint. The more accurate of the two editorials notes that former ambassador Joseph Wilson has been exposed as a liar; the other paints him as a victim -- unbelievable. It's interesting to note that the New York Times claims that "Mr. […]

Going through security

Well, it's been over a year since my driver's expired -- and the guy at the check-in counter was the first to notice. An expired license is the same as having no ID at all, which means: secondary screening. Overall, no big deal. The guys searching me were quite personable and professional. They both got […]
