This editorial from the Editors at National Review shines a bright light on the indictment of Tom Delay. The editors provide details I hadn’t heard before and demonstrate to me that this indictment is a sham.
This article in the L.A. Times is a textbook case of slanted coverage on an issue. It’s an article on proposed legislation that would reform aspects of the Endangered Species Act. Reform is generally expected on such laws, but it appears that the article’s author doesn’t think so.
Read for yourself, but here are [...]
Maybe I’m just a little misty-eyed after watching the Vols’ come back from a 21-point deficit to win at LSU in overtime, but this article by former NCAA coach Bill Curry is great reading. It reminds me of the principles in The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard. The principle is that you can’t [...]
The Times-Picayune (New Orleans’ major periodical) is reporting that the stories coming out of N.O. about death and mayhem were greatly exaggerated. Watch and see how much coverage this information gets from the so-called mainstream media . . . (hat tip, Drudgereport.com)

I would argue that the drastic difference after Katrina is in state and local leadership.
This article reports about a controversy surrounding the Washington Nationals MLB franchise. It appears that a Christian chapel leader, in response to a direct question from a player during a chapel, stated that Jews without Christ would not have salvation. The rabbi quoted in the article (who apparently demanded a meeting with team [...]
Econ professor Walter Williams opines about what is commonly known as “price-gouging.”
This article reports that Sen. Arlen Specter has announced he will vote in favor of Roberts’ appointment to the SCOTUS. As a result, absent the Dems finding out that the appointee made a crude joke to a female coworker 20 years ago, Roberts’ is all but in. The article also has provides insight into how [...]
