The New York Times top two editors, Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd resigned this morning. Hopefully this will mark the beginning of some fundamental changes at the Times. But, what took them so long?

Today's New York Times report on the House vote to ban the procedure commonly-known as partial-birth abortion. The bills passed by the House and the Senate will be reconciled, sent to the president and the president will sign it. Lawsuits will be immediately filed and the Supreme Court will ultimately decide its legality. I'm pro-life, […]
The Heritage Foundation has a new study out that shows that sexually active teens are more likely to be depressed and attempt suicide. The significantly lower levels of happiness and higher levels of depression among sexually active teens suggest that sexual activity leads to a decrease in happiness and well-being among many, if not most, […]
K-Lo over at National Review Online recounts a story by Sen. Rick Santorum that is worth a read.
The teaser is "Distorting the Facts." The headline is "Standard Operating Procedure." The columnist is Paul Krugman. The subject, however, is not Krugman's columns.

Despite a promise to fully […]
The whining and cries of despair have been growing ever louder over the past few weeks as coalition forces in Iraq have searched, in vain, for biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. What the search has turned up is two trailers that are nearly identical to those described by Secretary of State Colin Powell to the […]
This memo on posted by National Review's Rod Dreher was also the subject of Bill O'Reilly's talking points last night. To: SectionEds Subject: Credibility/abortion I'm concerned about the perception---and the occasional reality---that the Times is a liberal, "politically correct" newspaper. Generally speaking, this is an inaccurate view, but occasionally we prove our critics right. We […]
I really never intended on focusing on The New York Times and its problems, but to not address them nowadays is like trying to ignore the elephant in the living room. In the Sunday magazine, the Times had an article entitled "The Young Hipublicans," by John Colapinto. The article is interesting, informative and proof positive […]
