As one of my readers noted, Al Gore's op-ed piece in the New York Times on Sunday referred to Bush administration ties with Enron a number of times. Gore was trying to hammer home what is sure to be an issue raised by Democrats over the next three years. The problem is, Gore had better […]

If you want to know what's really going on in the scientific field regarding stem cell research, don't count on finding it in the mainstream media. Kudos to the National Review and Wesley J. Smith for collecting information about beneficial adult stem cell research. Interesting and telling factoid: How many humans have been treated by […]

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I've always thought that most readers of the New York Times were a little above average when it comes to knowledge of current events and crossword puzzles. I'd think that's one perception that a newspaper would want to guard zealously. It looks much better to advertisers -- our readers are smarter, […]

Sarah Eltantawi of the Muslim Public Affairs Council got a history lesson from Alan Keyes on his show last night. Eltantawi actually tried to suggest that the Israelis started the 1967 war. Keyes didn't let the big lie continue and called her on it. Mainly because Keyes lived through it and Eltantawi is young enough […]

Fresh from alleging brutal atrocities at Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Amnesty International is now screaming bloody murder -- literally. Amnesty International has done its best since Sept. 11 to become the embodiment of the proverbial "boy who cried wolf." The most curious comments in the article came from a Scotsman. Forensic pathologist Derrick […]

Searching the Web for Earth Day stories I came across this one at ABCNews.com entitled: "Is Venus Our Future? Scientists Seeking to Learn More About Earth Through Its 'Twin' " The piece is appropriately written by Amanda Onion -- because the thing stinks. Anyone curious about what a worst-case global warming scenario might look like […]

Well, today is Earth Day, and much of it was spent following the Gore line of referring to Bush as the worst environmental despoiler since Saddam Hussein set oil wells afire upon leaving Kuwait. I caught a few minutes of ABC's "World News Tonight" and their Earth Day report. After a quick blurb from Bush, […]

Most scientists say the Earth is warming. Most of them also think that humans are responsible for it. Or at least they say that in an effort to get research money. I mean, after all, if it were normal for the Earth as a whole to periodically warm and cool, then there'd really be no […]

I'm writing and watching the San Diego Padres vs. L.A. Dodgers on TV right now. The color commentator is former major-leaguer Rick Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe splits his time between doing Padres telecasts and some work for ESPN. I think he's probably the worst color-man in the business. The guy comes across as a big, pompous know-it-all […]

Shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, polls showed that many Democrats were actually happy that George W. Bush was president. They believed that in time of war Gore certainly wasn't the man for the job. Former President Jimmy Carter's op-ed in today's New York Times offers evidence that maybe the anti-Gore sentiment wasn't personal. There's […]
