Time: Conservative Bible Project 'Insane' but 'Green Bible' Evangelica
A year ago Time magazine's David Van Biema wrote up a short, favorable take on the so-called Green Bible, an edition based on the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) that placed "green references" in "a pleasant shade of forest green, much as red-letter editions of the Bible encrimson the words of Jesus." But wait, there's more, The Green Bible also includes "supplementary writings" several of…

Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), he of "die quickly" YouTube fame, appeared on the October 2 edition of MSNBC's "Hardball," and Matthews wasted no time in teeing up the GOP for Grayson:CHRIS MATTHEWS: I'm looking for some insight here.

NY Times Print Edition Ignores Rep. Grayson's GOP Bashing, Holocaust R
Last month, the New York Times moralized in print over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson's "disrespectful" outburst ("You lie!") during Obama's health care address to Congress.

1982, 2009: Networks Find Identical Unemployment Numbers 'Good ' News
Unemployment is currently at a 26-year-high of 9.7 percent and expected to continue rising. The last president to govern with such high unemployment was President Ronald Reagan.

Garrison Keillor Muses Over Cutting Republicans 'Out of the Health-car

The Politico's Jonathan Allen reported last night that Democratic Congressment Alan Grayson of Florida let loose on the House floor.

A Billion Here, A Billion There: Dem-Backed Firms Get Speculative Ener
The headline and the first paragraph from this Friday Wall Street Journal report by Josh Mitchell and Stephen Power reads like a bad joke Jay Leno's writers would have discarded, because no one would believe it. The second paragraph isn't much better:Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan A tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government…
LA Times's Goldstein Excuses Child Rapist, Recalling His Personal Trag
