The numbers regarding student ignorance are scary, but the ignorance level on the part of administrators is downright frightening.

It appears as though Gray Davis, as is his standard practice, sold out the interests of California for a few million dollars in (insufficient) political support from the state's Indian tribes. Whatever Davis' ulterior motive for waiving the environmental mandate on the tribes, he has deprived the new governor of what little leverage he had […]

Let me first give credit where it is due, Tuesday's column by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is the type he should spend most of his time on. Today's column, however, is notable for a couple of things: First, there's no mention of President Bush. (I'm sure that will be remedied at a later […]

Michael Jackson's booking photo is freaky. The unfortunate thing is that every time they do a piece on the subject (which will be much too often), they're going to use that photo.

Shortly after Hayes' piece was published on the Web, the Department of Defense came out with a press release which, to appropriate a statement from The Washington Post's Ben Bradlee, amounts […]

I'm reading Bernard Goldberg's new book, "Arrogance" and it's a good read. Goldberg spends the first few chapters outlining how the mainstream media responded to his first book "Bias" and to him personally. Goldberg refers to a piece attacking him in USA Today by the newspaper's founder Al Neuharth. Neuharth's short, 300 word column took […]

The Weekly Standard's Stephen F. Hayes has gotten his hands on an intelligence memo that details, point by point, Saddam Hussein's connections to al Qaeda and Usama bin Laden. According to the memo--which lays out the intelligence in 50 numbered points--Iraq-al Qaeda contacts began in 1990 and continued through mid-March 2003, days before the Iraq […]
