This is an incredible story.

Down on my criticism of Eric Alterman, RLB (who left no e-mail, otherwise I would've responded in private) makes the following comment: Um, let's see . . . Alterman points out Bush's status as a minority president (indisputable) who won the EC without a clear vote count (would have been true of Gore also, but […]

Terrorists nuke D.C. President Gore vows: 'They will pay' SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- President Al Gore, speaking at a fund-raiser at the Commonwealth Club here, reacted angrily to news that terrorists detonated a small "briefcase nuke" in Washington, D.C., destroying the Capitol and the White House and leaving thousands dead.

Today's New York Times has an excellent article on the fact that women don't want men to play sports. Well, not exactly, but that's the effect of it.

If you're a regular you will have realized that I didn't post nearly as much as normal this past week. Sorry, but I spent the week covering for a guy who went on vacation. His job is much more time consuming and stressful than my normal job usually is. That said, The Heritage Foundation's Alfredo […]

The San Diego Union-Tribune's James Goldsborough penned an incoherent attack on the Bush Administration policy calling for regime change in Iraq. The causes of the Bush chagrin are clear, but first let's address their argument that "the goal is not arms inspections but Iraqi disarmament." That is exactly right, but for Bush to present arms […]

There's been quite a bit of discussion lately in media circles regarding whether or not The New York Times has been using its news pages to promote a political agenda. The American Prospect has published a less-than-stellar defense of the Times and Media Minded has an excellent analysis. Check it out.
