Human Rights Watch Forgets About Hezbollah

As typical with these "progressive" groups, they only seem to go after one side, in this case Israel, and forget about the actual bad guys, in this case, Hezbollah (direct from Human Rights Watch): Israeli forces have systematically failed to distinguish between combatants and civilians in their military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Human Rights Watch […]

Time Asia on the India Blog Ban

Nice to that the Asian bureau of Time Magazine is just as incompetent as their American bureau: A few days after the terror attacks in Bombay, Indians found many of their favorite blogs banned. On July 13, the Department of Telecommunications had ordered Indian Internet service providers to close a reported 17 blogs that purportedly […]

Katie C And The Hard News

Can't you just feel the buzz and anticipation for Katie Couric to step into the big (floppy) shoes at cBS? So much so that that hard news source, Access Hollywood, has talked about her. And all sorts of "hard news" sites picked the story up. Unfortunately, what made the rounds of the 'sphere was incorrect […]

Cut And Run vs Stay And Die

I'm so glad that the UselessA Today has given an opinion piece featuring a Conservative and a Surrender Monkey such a middle of the road title. Cal Thomas is a conservative columnist.

Jim Bunning said yesterday "That the press wouldn't have better sense than to leak critical information on terrorists so that […]

Everyone Knew It

Just a general thought: if everyone knew that USA and the Treasury Department were investigating where the terrorist money is, where it came from, and where it is going, then how come the NY Slimes had to splash it all over the front page? We all know that the weather is going to do something. […]

NY Times: Let’s Burn The Flag

In a typical Times editorial, the paper is taking the position that a Constitutional amendment would be, well, unconstitutional. With the Fourth of July fast approaching, Senate Republicans are holding a barbecue. Unfortunately, instead of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, they are trying to torch a hole in the First Amendment's free speech guarantee by […]
