The Debate Is Not Over

Empty Prize
So Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize. For what exactly? A documentary about climate change that is allegedly loaded with inaccuracies? Let’s forget the inaccuracies for a moment. How does a movie about climate change fulfill the purpose of the award? According to wikipedia (yes, I know, far from the pantheon of truthfulness, but I…

Oh well
Hmmm, so maybe I spoke too soon when I said the Senate was safe. The Republicans really took a butt-whoopin’. I guess running on no issues, and just plugging away at how awful Iraq is was enough for the Democrats, not to mention having the media pulling for you with story after story slanted in…

Too close to call
I can’t believe I’ve been watching four hours of election coverage. I’m such a politics geek sometimes. Thelma Drake has won. The marriage amendment passed.

Hate Speech
I don’t know that I’ve ever read about a more hate-filled speech than the one given by NAACP Chairman Julian Bond. You know, the kind of speech filled with racist remarks and Nazi comparisons that if given by anyone other than someone in the NAACP would generate all sorts of buzz and make national headlines.…

Media Bias
I read a great piece on media bias today by Bruce Bartlett. He pontificates on the big media’s focus on Republican misdoings vs. the same (or worse) behavior of Democrats. …the liberal media harp on Republican misdeeds monotonously because to them the subject never gets boring. By contrast, Democratic wrongdoing tends to be treated in…
