Today co-anchor Matt Lauer, who hosted the segment…

In October 2007, I put up a BizzyBlog post (also cross-posted at the Cleveland Plain Dealer's short-lived Wide Open Blog) about William Garner (pictured at right), the Ohio man who killed five children (three of them and the lone survivor also pictured at right) to cover up a burglary in 1992. At the time, it appeared that Garner's date with the executioner had been indefinitely called off, for…

Some red hot chili peppers are on tour, and they're emitting a lot of greenhouse gases. But it's not the California rock band emitting carbon on a worldwide concert tour; it's seeds from chili peppers traveling to the "doomsday" vault in Norway. A bipartisan congressional delegation visited the Svalbard Global Seed Vault July 11 as a side trip during the 19th Annual Session of the Organization…

How do you honor a man who built a $1.3 billion baseball dynasty and revived one of the most iconic American sports franchises? If you're the Associated Press, you whine that he avoided the estate tax. In a July 14 article, the Associated Press bemoaned that Steinbrenner died in a year with a "quirky tax situation" due to the suspended estate tax. The AP complained that the estate tax suspension…

(Just see the "yum yum" cooked goose photo. )  "Animal rights" groups often suggest that animal lives are just as precious as human lives, or even that innocent, instinctual animals are morally superior to arrogant reasoning humans. That view came through on the front page of The New…

Four months after ABC's World News spent a weekend defaming anti-ObamaCare Tea Party protesters as “very ugly” with “reports of racial and homophobic slurs,” citing “protesters roaming Washington, some of them increasingly emotional, yelling slurs and epithets,” Tuesday's newscast, unlike those on CBS and NBC, credentialed the NAACP's charge that the “Tea Party movement is a threat to the pursuit…
