Can you say "litmus test"?

Well, if you're a Democrat, probably not. Democrat President hopeful Wesley Clark told the Manchester, N.H., Union-Leader that anyone who holds pro-life views need not apply for appointment to the federal bench -- but that's not a litmus test. Clark was asked if would appoint or reject a prospective judicial nominee who passed all of […]

Questioning your opponent's patriotism

Anytime any Republican questions the wisdom of a Democrat's foreign policy pronouncements, such criticism is in turn attacked as questioning the Democrat's patriotism. Unfortunately for the Democrats, Republicans "question" their patriotism much less than Democrats attack Republicans' patriotism. For example: Sen. Ted Kennedy said that the Iraq War was "cooked-up" in Texas to help President […]

Line of the day

Columnist Ben Shapiro wins today's award with the following paragraph, part of an article summarizing some of Moveon.org's 30 second commercial finalists: I've saved two of the best for last. One of my favorites is Eric Martin's "Bush's Repair Shop." President Bush and Vice President Cheney are portrayed as mechanics, destroying a car they are […]

Cool Math Stuff

As one of the few people with a journalism degree who actually took (and passed -- barely) multi-variable calculus, I continue to find math interesting, especially when something like this happens. The Poincare Conjecture, named after the Frenchman who proposed it in 1904, is the question that essentially founded the field of topology, the "rubber-sheet […]

Howard Dean and religion

The New Republic has an excellent article outlining what may be one of Democrat presidential wannabe Howard Dean's fatal flaws. As conversion stories go, Dean's hardly conforms to the conventions of the genre. Rather than show how religion helped him to change his life--see, again, Bush overcoming the bottle--it shows how a conflict in everyday […]

New idea?

New York Times most irrelevant columnist has written yet another column warning that the U.S. economy is becoming the spitting image of a failing Third World nation, specifically Argentina. Nothing new here. Truth is, Krugman is losing it. It's one thing to try and peddle this pap when the economy is in a mild recession, […]

Listen to the laugh

Still watching the stupid debate, but the most priceless moment of the night's debate just occurred. The speaker, Howard Dean: I am going to balance the budget and I'm going to do it in the sixth or seventh year of my administration. We're also going....What? And where the ellipsis occurs in that quote there was […]

Nine dwarfs debate

I'm watching a replay of today's Democrat presidential candidate debate -- and it isn't pretty. It's become obvious to me why these forums are increasingly useless; if you're looking for truth, you won't find it in the debates. Some of these loons are making statements which are demonstrably false and no one -- not the […]

Journalistic Ethics update

While I was sick, CBS has denied last week's New York Times report that it paid Michael Jackson $1 million, through Enron-style accounting, for his "60 Minutes" interview. I mentioned the story earlier here.
