His January 11, 2008 New York Times column ("The Comeback Continent"; HT Tom Maguire via Instapundit) is yet another in a seemingly endless series of attempts by economic statists to convince people in the US that we need to be more like Europe -- specifically Western Europe -- and less like the growth-driven, market-based capitalists that we still…

Dontcha love it when liberal media elites eat their own in public? Assuming you do, the cat and dogfight that took place at the Huffington Post Friday is sure to brighten up your Sunday evening. Our story began at 9:01 Friday morning when "McLaughlin Group" regular Lawrence O'Donnell published an article at HuffPo marvelously entitled "John Edwards Is A Loser." About three hours later,…

This goes quite counter to the vast amount of coverage any climate event anywhere on the face of the planet receives if it can be used to support Nobel Laureate Al Gore's…

Just how far to the left is ABC's George Stephanopoulos? Well, on Sunday's "This Week," while discussing the presidential campaign with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the former Clinton aide actually cited the liberal website Daily Kos. I guess we now know what George is reading while he's prepping for the show. To set this up, Stephanopoulos and Gingrich were discussing how wide open…

**Updated below fold**Lifestyle magazine, a publication that serves Pennsylvania's Delaware Valley area, published a nice story this week reporting how a long awaited veteran's cemetery is finally underway in Buck's County, Penn.

Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS may go forward. By omitting key facts of the original "Rathergate" story from his report Thursday, Associated Press Writer Samuel Maull managed to give the former CBS news anchor's contentions an appearance of credibility. Here is how Maull's report began (HT Little Green Footballs; more permanent link to same story used here): A judge said Wednesday that he…
