Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Burt Prelutsky explains that the hysteria about oil prices is nothing more than that — hysteria. While the NY Times gives us a relaxed (indeed) enjoyable short little history about Sundance’s growth, Brent Bozell reminds us just how sleazy the Sundance product is. Gay partners with children are attending workshops

I’ll be joining an august company, since the following thoughtful, erudite and interesting bloggers are already members: Watcher of Weasels The Sundries Shack The Education Wonks Right Wing Nut House The Glittering Eye Rhymes With Right Done With
Continue readingWhile we were all delighting in the tough stance the Australian government has taken towards terrorism, it seems that Australian TV has fallen into the same swamp as American TV, which insists that all people who can claim victimhood must be heard, their complaints taken seriously, and the rest of

Even though Greg quoted extensively from the news report, I still thought Scrappleface was somehow involved. But no, this is the real news: Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of
Continue readingEverybody enjoys a good laugh when they read some version of what Robert Godwin calls “the perennially clueless New York Times, which often publishes variations on the theme of “Crime Down Despite Increase in Prison Population.” That is, we enjoy the fact that the NYTs, and other liberal publications, seem
Continue readingThese are two of today’s headlines, one about Israel, a Jewish country; and one about Yemen, a Muslim country. I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions. First, from Israel: The Israel government has voted to appoint an Arab Muslim to the cabinet – for the first time in the

You’ve seen this in the savagely racist attacks on Condi (Aunt Jemima, anyone?) or Clarence Thomas (out-of-control black man sexuality), or in

At Irish Pennants, Jack Kelly details how, in a single paragraph, Nicholas Lemann, the Dean of Columbia Universities Graduate School of Journalism, makes five major factual errors. Kelly’s gracious enough not
