Someone apparenly hacked Blogger. The service that runs numerous sites....including mine. Posting may be sporadic for the next few days as they try to resecure the site.

Normally it takes a heck of a lot to offend me. All of that "art" that they show in certain New York museums and the like may be stupid. It certainly is disgusting. But I don't think I've ever been really offended. Nope to offend me it takes someone like Stephanie Salter, a columnist for […]

More detail on this later, but it appears as though my least-favorite war correspondent Geraldo Rivera lied one of his reports earlier this month. What is more troubling is that Fox News has not explained or apologized or even acknowledged that this occurred. Instead, a network spokesman accused the paper that reported the incident for […]

I just returned from seeing "The Fellowship of the Ring." It is very well done. I understand that trying to condense the book into a three-hour movie forces you to lose some things, but I would've liked to see Tom Bombadil.

Finally getting around to hearing Lanny Davis defend former President Bill Clinton on the "O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News. Spin. Spin. Spin. Bill Clinton balanced the budget...blah blah.

I think the economy is beginning to rebound without the bill. The whole stimulus bill fight wasn't about giving the […]

Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) takes on Bush's decision to pull out of the 30-year-old Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty with the USSR in Wednesday's Washington Post. I'm beginning to wonder if the commonly-accepted parallel that Republicans are conservative and Democrats are liberal. In this case at least, Democrats are holding onto an old, outdated worldview. The ABM […]

Last note before I go to bed is The Nation's David Corn proved on last night's "O'Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel what an idiot he can be. Corn actually advocates cash payments to Afghan civilians or their families who have been accidentally hurt or killed by our bombing campaign. Someone call a doctor, […]
