The New York Times' Paul Krugman would have you believe that Enron and Cisco Systems are one in the same. True, Enron has filed for bankruptcy, and its main business was trading intangible things, and investors and analysts were too prideful to concede that they never knew exactly how the company made its money -- […]

If you were ever serious about the Kyoto treaty's effectiveness, if implemented, at reducing global warming, you only had to look at what countries were exempted. While the United States and Europe would have had to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Africa, Asia and many other parts of the world wouldn't have had to make any […]

If a married couple often argues and the husband decides to try to "change the tone" there's only so much he can do to prevent his wife from screeching insults, throwing china and hurling knives. So it is with Democratic Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who blames President Bush for the failure of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill. […]

The Independent, a left-wing British rag published a piece by Adrian Hamilton today. What exactly it is a piece of becomes rather apparent, rather quickly. The idea that a pre-emptive strike could save the world a heap of trouble isn't entirely idle. Think, if Genghis Khan could have been taken out when he was still […]

Muslim terrorists have killed three nurses in Pakistan after they left morning services in a hospital chapel. I'm sure those punks at ClearGuidance.com are happy about this. But we have to look on the bright side -- since they were killed by Muslims, they get to go to heaven!

If you're not a dedicated reader of the blogosphere you may have missed this item that was all the buzz yesterday. It seems that there is a message board system for Muslim youth at ClearGuidance.com. As is the case with a lot of things, there's nothing wrong with the idea, but with the implementation. Among […]

I just thought I'd point out this article in The New York Times. I've always liked math, well maybe that's not quite true. I liked math up to the point that I took multivariable calculus. I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm one of the few journalists to have successfully completed 4 quarters […]

I occasionally read The American Prospect's blog, Tapped, "just to find out what the enemy is up to." Today, Instapundit directed me to the blog (on an unrelated item) and I spotted a defense of Krugman. Actually, it's a rather lame defense of Krugman. The writer, a flack for the Office of Management and Budget, […]

I just spent a half-hour searching the internet for a modem driver for my parents aging laptop. The company that sold that model has since gone out of business and the driver was difficult to find. The moral of the story: If you're going to buy a laptop or any peripheral for your computer, buy […]
