For the left to go ape.

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 […]

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 […]

No spoilers here. I finished reading the book early this afternoon.

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: […]

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 […]
