Kudos To The Inqy
I know that I’ve done my fair share of bashing the Philadelphia Inquirer over the years (most of it well-deserved) but I believe that they deserve a hearty attaboy for being one of the first major market media organizations to…

My…Head…Asplode
(Yes, that was a Strong Bad reference). I was about to have a coronary on my commute in this morning, as I had made the classic mistake of tuning in to NPR in lieu of the cruder-yet-somehow-more-morally-uplifting fare peddled by…
Air America: Apparently Even Liberals Think Liberal Radio Stinks
Air America, long on the financial ropes, is apparently about to declare bankruptcy. I can’t say that I’m particularly surprised or saddened to see it go, although it probably means that Al Franken will be back at his former position:…
It’s A Good Thing I Don’t Drink Miller Beer
…Because otherwise I’d have to stop, seeing as they’re sponsoring a rally for illegal immigration to the tune of $30,000. Disgusting. The beer, I mean. Their actions are deplorable, too. Good thing I’ve got the Ying – cheap, good, local,…

Degrading Hizb’allah’s Social Safety Net
Critics of Israel’s tactics in South Lebanon have been railing against their “inability” to destroy Hizb’allah’s military might. While this might be true, al Bawaba points out that the military “destruction” of the Hizbies might not actually be the end…
Uhh, Guys? You Can Stop Helping Me Now!
We PA residents have been following the Rick Santorum vs. Bob Casey, Jr. [Hey, wasn’t his father famous or something? -ed.] Senate race fairly closely, with most polls showing Casey in the lead. Regardless of his lead, though, I don’t…
Anchor Babies And Obstacle Children
P.J. O’Rourke has put his finger on what is wrong with America. It’s quite simple, actually: it involves canvas deck chairs, yuppies and John Edwards. Heh.
