In a recent article published in Philadelphia’s Bulletin family newspaper, Herb Denenberg used nearly 2,700 words to opine about Janet Napolitano’s decision to refer to “terrorism” as “man-caused disasters.” The part of his commentary that caught my attention had less to do with the Homeland Security chief’s semantics policies than with media bias evident in [...]

Barack Obama’s Al Arabiya Interview Transcript
January 27th, 2009 · 4 Comments
President Barack Obama gave his first sit-down media interview to Al Arabiya TV’s Hisham Melhem — much to the chagrin of U.S. media outlets — Monday evening. Due to the fact that Press Secretary Robert Gibbs opted to publish a six-paragraph snippet on The White House Blog instead of providing a full transcript, I had [...]

Flash Forward: The ‘W’ Primary of 2060 Revisited
November 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Editor’s Note: Eighteen months ago, I published two posts outlining the feelings I had about President George W. Bush. In the first post, The ‘W’ Primary of 2060, I stood up for the 43rd president in the face of growing opposition to his administration. Eight days later, while steaming about the need for immigration reform, [...]

Gore Ranks Environmentalists Above Soldiers
May 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Though support for Al Gore’s crusade against human-caused global warming has waned with each passing month, the former vice president is still out and about touting his brand of environmental snake oil. In addition, he’s added something else to his repertoire: Slapping the faces of our military men and women. According to a report in [...]

CIA Right to Destroy Interrogation Videos
December 8th, 2007 · No Comments
Calls for an investigation into alleged wrong-doing at the Central Intelligence Agency are misguided and potentially harmful to our national security. Unfortunately, those calls are coming from conservatives as well as liberals. Conservative Rick Moran published a post Thursday under the headline, CIA DESTROYS TORTURE TAPES. Early in the piece published at Right Wing Nut [...]
