The New York Times today corrected a mistake it made nearly a month ago -- one that painted American troops in a (surprise) bad light. [A]n article on May 21 about fighting in Iraq quoted two comments incorrectly from a news conference by Maj. Gen. James Mattis, the Marine commander in the desert area near […]

Rhode Island rips off consumers and tries to make them think that they're eating genuine R.I. "cuisine." Case in point: "Pizza strips" Rectangular slices of crust slathered with spicy pizza sauce. They have no cheese and are properly served at room temperature. That's not pizza strips -- it's tomato paste on bread.

Link after link to media reports of today's 9/11 commission staff reports contain stunning inaccuracies -- claiming that Iraq and Al Qaeda were not involved with each other. (Saddam: "Al Qaeda? Never heard of him.) From the Los Angeles Times: No Signs of Iraq-Al Qaeda Ties Found 9/11 report appears to dismiss a key rationale […]

Instapundit points to this TCS article by fellow blogger Pejman Yousefzadeh who makes this point: "It is more than a little shocking that some Berkeley law students don't seem to understand the function of a legal research memo."

Columnist Michelle Malkin points out on her new blog that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has a little problem with the truth. No surprise there. And no, don't expect a correction.

A group of 20-some career diplomats and military officers have written a letter condemning President Bush's foreign policy. Frankly, I'm surprised they only managed to round up a few dozen signers. There are plenty of people out there who are minimizing or attacking any comparisons between Bush 43 and the late Ronald Reagan, but this […]

National Review's Rich Lowry makes a good point on the partial birth abortion debate. The San Francisco judge struck down the ban partly because she thinks it is sometimes safer to kill a fetus while it is being delivered intact rather than chopping it up inside the womb. By this standard, why shouldn't it be […]

A Roll Call article exposes a recent Los Angeles Times poll on the presidential race that gave Democrat Sen. John Kerry an unheard of 7 point lead.
