Question Of The Week: An Article About A Woodpecker

By admin on January 2, 2011

Tweet

by Conor Friedersdorf A reader writes: I have a fairly unusual answer to your question of the week, I think. A magazine article that had probably the biggest impact on my life and the way I view the world was an article on evolution in an issue of The Plain Truth, an evangelical magazine put [...]

New York Times Article on Law and the Multiverse

By admin on December 24, 2010

Tweet

(Ilya Somin) The New York Times recently published an article on the Law and the Multiverse blog, which focuses on legal issues raised by superheroes and supervillains. The article includes some commentary by yours truly. In conjunction with my analysis of the law of Dungeons and Dragons (see here and here), constitutional federalism in Star [...]

WSJ article: Can you retire w/out SocSec? Will 2% cut damage SocSec?

By admin on December 19, 2010

Tweet

Why, yes, it will! WSJ writes that the Obama/Republican tax plan with its cut in SocSec payroll taxes of 2% will lead to weakening or demise of the program. So, start saving lots lots lots more is the message. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424… The deal, by cutting payroll taxes for one year, weakens Social Security’s funding. It puts [...]

Wikileaks: A Select, Vetted Article Dump (Part I)

By admin on December 10, 2010

Tweet

There is a Mount Everest-sized amount of news, information, and analysis on the Internet about Wikileaks. The release of, to date, 1,269 diplomatic cables out of a total of 251,287 that Wikileaks has in its possession has sparked a furor in the United States and globally — although the tenor of the debate in this [...]

WaPo Devotes Another Supportive Article to Angry Leftist Curator and Protesters at Radical Gay Exhibit

By admin on December 7, 2010

Tweet

Tuesday's Washington Post Style section carried this front-page headline "Pesky ant video refuses to die." But the only new developments on the National Portrait Gallery story were security officers removing two (left-wing) protesters on Saturday and the laments of  a radical curator on Monday. No one in Jacqueline Trescott's article spoke for the conservatives. An [...]

Failed Oregon jihadist claims to have written article for “Jihad Recollections,” submitted one to al-Qaeda’s “Inspire”

By admin on November 28, 2010

Tweet

Publish or perish? Well, per Qur’an 9:111, “publish and perish” may be more what they’re encouraging. “FBI: Suspect claimed he wrote jihadist fitness article,” from CNN, November 27: A Somali-American teenager arrested Friday on suspicion of plotting to bomb a holiday ceremony in Portland, Oregon, told an undercover FBI employee that he wrote articles published [...]

How Many Likudniks Can You Quote In One Article? Ctd

By admin on November 25, 2010

Tweet

Goldblog defends Smith: Even if Ben Smith quoted only Likudniks for his piece about the way in which Israelis, and their government, view President Obama, this doesn't strike me as an enormous problem. If Ben were writing about the Hamas understanding of President Obama, I assume he would quote mainly Hamas officials. His story was [...]

How Many Likudniks Can You Quote In One Article? Ctd

By admin on November 23, 2010

Tweet

Ben Smith defends himself by linking to Shmuel Rosner.  Rosner takes offense at my labeling him a Likud and neocon: 1. I never told anyone other than my wife which party I vote for (hint: It's not always the same party). 2. I don't think there's such thing as Israeli "neocon" - some people can testify [...]

How Many Likudniks Can You Quote In One Article?

By admin on November 22, 2010

Tweet

Ben Smith tries for a record. My favorite quote is this from a top Israeli official involved in diplomacy with the U.S: "Obama’s like rain. You can do all kinds of things to cope with it." There is not a single quote from a single Palestinian in the entire piece. Instead there are endless quotes [...]

Conservative Military Chaplains Complain About DADT Repeal Again, AP Runs Full Article Treatment

By admin on October 29, 2010

Tweet

Conservative military chaplains have opposed repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell so frequently and vociferously this year that I’ve devoted an entire tag to explaining why their warnings of a mass exodus of Christian chaplains and soliders is overblown. But their frequent outings (pun intended) didn’t stop the Associated Press from running a story detailing their [...]

Houston Chronicle Editor Jeff Cohen, Best Friends With Bill White, Changes Reporter’s Article To Make White Look Good

By admin on October 29, 2010

Tweet

Houston Chronicle editor Jeff Cohen is buddies with ex-Houston Mayor Bill White. How close is the relationship? Close enough for Cohen to re-write reporter Bradley Olson’s article to make White look good. I’m not going to steal the thunder of Unca Darrell by spilling all the beans, but you MUST go read his post. Here’s [...]

Khadr Prosecutors Trying Desperately to Hide Bigoted Article

By admin on October 27, 2010

Tweet

I eagerly await Jeff Kaye’s take on the defense cross-examination of Dr. Michael Welner, whose anti-Muslim bias Jeff laid out here. Thus far, the defense has shown Welner didn’t read one of the studies he relied on for his Khadr profile, shown his work was not peer reviewed, and challenged Welner on his research methods: [...]
