Salon Changed My Mind?!?!?!? Hold the presses! I actually read a Salon article and changed my mind about an issue! I am off to read The Book of Revelations and make sure this is not a sign of the coming Apocolypse. I clicked over to Eric Boehlert’s Andrew Sullivan’s selective Enron outrage article just to [...]
Car Talk Interesting article in Slate about cell phone use is cars. Steven E. Landsburg argues thatNPR’s Tappet brothers are wrong about the societal costs of car phones. What two obnoxious and silly radio personalities are wrong about a complex public policy? Shocking that. Why two guy who know a lot about cars but little [...]
The Bull S!@# – I mean Moose. Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowery have been having an amusing discussion on when the Bull Moose is going to comment on the obvious connection between campaign finance, Enron, and the fact that Bill Kristol got Enron cash. So I clicked over to The Project for Conservative Reform myself [...]
The Man Behind Blogger Speaks The man who keeps it all going has an interview in The Guardian. Don’t belive one person can change the world? Think again.

Bill Kristol, Enron, and Punditgate Oh, I forgot to cover one pundit involved with Enron $, Bill Kristol. I just don’t have the energy to go into Bill Kristol so read Jonah Goldberg instead. He nails Kristol and the hypocriitical arrogance of campaign finance reform in one neat column (scroll down past the requisite wierd [...]
Punditgate: Unless you have been living in a cave, you have probably noticed the debate over pundits and Enron money. Andrew Sullivan has been the lead prosecutor as well as his own defense attorney. Well, since the issue has been kicked around so much I thought I might as well give you my take. So, [...]
Internationalism and US Foreign Policy I have been giving National Review Online a bit of a hard time this week. Largely because I have very high expectations of them.
