Wednesday's New York Times: 13 total letters. 6 anti-intelligent design. 1 pro-intelligent design. 1 neutral. 4 anti-Bush (out of 4 on the president's budget). 1 anti-American. I'm just not sure how to classify the intelligent design letters when it comes to conservative/liberal labels. I tend to lean toward saying that anti-intelligent design letters are anti-religious […]

A report in today's New York Times on a August 2000 fund-raiser for then Senate candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton that lead to the indictment of Sen. Clinton's finance director, paints a picture of the VRWC out to get the Clintons. It also shows the continuing effort of a longtime nemesis of the Clintons, Judicial Watch, […]

I finally figured it out. Watching today's news report on President Bush's budget plan and the appearance on Capitol Hill of Treasury Secretary John Snow and White House budget director Josh Bolten before various congressional committees, I figured out why New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has not offered his promised plan to fix Social […]

I was flipping channels and actually listened to about 15 seconds of Paul Begala on CNN's "Crossfire."

Of course, that phrasing begs a question: what is that in dollars -- not as […]

Thanks to Powerline we are reminded that former PBS "newsman" Bill Moyers is a less-than-stellar journalist. If an apology to former Interior Secretary James Watt and retraction from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is not immediately forthcoming, then Moyers cements his reputation as a partisan hack.

On today's "Meet the Press," Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld didn't let critically-acclaimed journalist Tim Russert get away with a gross mischaracterization/video dowdifying of the infamous "armored humvees" question. MR. RUSSERT: Yeah, I understand. Some things that members of Congress has said. This is Susan Collins, a Republican--not a Democrat, Republican: "I think there are increasing […]

I always thought that the team that won the AFC would win the Super Bowl. I was right. The Philadelphia Eagles' clock management in the waning minutes was infuriating -- not because I'm an Eagles fan -- but simply because of the astounding incompetence it demonstrated. You're down 10 points with 6 minutes on the […]
