I was reading a fringe blogger today, who called Congressman Ron Paul “a fringe candidate” without mentioning him by name. That’s really amazing that a “fringe candidate” could come 3% away from placing 3rd in the first two major primaries of the election season. I’ve had a couple different people tell me this week that [...]
I called in to a radio show this week and spoke with Jim Gilchrist, who started the Minutemen along with Chris Simcox and has so oddly endorsed Mike Huckabee for president. I’m new to calling in to radio shows, and I’ve learned something new every time. This time, I learned that when you are on [...]
Andrew Olmsted kept a blog for close to five years, before he stopped posting around last February when he realized that his writing may have gone against Department of Defense guidelines for military personnel. He was sent to Iraq in July, and while there, he started posting at the Rocky Mountain News with DOD approval. [...]
TIME has come out with an interesting article today on the adjoining Des Moines headquarters of the Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee campaigns.

At least one hack agrees. “‘She’s just held to a different standard in every respect,’ says Mark Halperin, Time‘s editor at large. ‘The press rooted for [...]
This morning on that fine show Fox and Friends, Ron Paul quoted Sinclair Lewis in reference to Mike Huckabee’s anything-but-subtle “is-it-a-cross-or-is-it-a-window-pane” ad, saying: “It reminds me of what Sinclair Lewis once said. He says, ‘when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.’ Now I don’t know whether [...]
I’m consistently amazed at how The New York Times leaves the most interesting and relevant details to the end of their articles. I first noticed this shoddy journalism a few months ago with the story of the breastfeeding medical student who got a court to rule that she needed extra break times during a board [...]
Jeffrey Toobin is one of those generic journalists, writing so much in so many different places, so un-memorably, that even though you know his name when you hear it, it doesn’t matter because you can’t recall a damn thing he ever wrote. He’s no George Will, that’s for sure. Anyway, Toobin said that Ron Paul [...]
