What’s laughable about the Alicia Colon piece I blogged about yesterday?
The claim that The Drudge Report is a liberal site is laughable in general. How could you know anything at all about American politics and make this claim?
Here is her supporting evidence:
The propaganda of the enemedia — an excellent descriptive term coined by [...]

In this laughable op-ed from the New York Post, the author concludes by making a big point about her name:
My name, Alicia, means truth, so here it is.
I wouldn’t go there if I were her.
Her last name is Colon.

In honor of Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation, quotations from Rumsfeld’s Rules

It is easier to get into something than to get out of it.
If a prospective presidential approach can’t be explained clearly enough to be understood well, it probably hasn’t been thought through well enough. If not well understood by the American people, it probably won’t [...]

This week both President Bush and Vice President Cheney have pointed fingers at the press for focusing on the bad news from Iraq. These attempts to salvage US public opinion in favor of Iraqi War and against President Bush follow on earlier effort by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to shape media coverage to [...]

Last week Andrew Sullivan was raising the issue of ex post facto claims that the speaker/writer knew Saddam did not have WMD. Examples here,here, here, and here.
The central nugget:

Our President is famous for the nicknames he bestows on those around him. Karl Rove is “Turd Blossum”, Condi Rice is “Guru”, Vladimir Putin is “Pootie-Poot.”
I’m in favor of censuring the President for authorizing criminal acts, but even if I weren’t, I’d find these more than a little creepy. The scatalogical and homoerotic overtones of [...]

Scarborough County seems to have jumped the shark. (It was a very little shark.)
In the February 13 Newsweek, Marc Peyser writes about Stephen Coubert:
He’s the host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” a takeoff of talk-show blowhards like Bill O’Reilly and Joe Scarborough.
Newsweek and MSNBC are owned by the same company, and if you look [...]

Andrew Sullivan is impressed by the latest intelligence release from the Director of National Intelligence.
It purports to be a letter “between two senior al Qa’ida leaders, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, that was obtained during counterterrorism operations in Iraq, ” from July 9, 2005.
The letter paints a picture of a Jihad aimed at “the [...]

Justin at Right Side Redux ponders the similarities between the debate on Harriet Miers and the debate on Intelligent Design and asks his readers to draw parallels.
I don’t really see the parallels. It seems like the country is more united against Miers than for or against evolution. The only similarity that I can see is [...]

For some time I’ve had a post in the queue on probability as tool for knowing. There were essentially two points, both of which pertained to sequence of facts required to reach a conclusion. 1) If your conjecture depends on a number of highly improbable events, it is unlikely to be true. 2) If your [...]
