On the Google-weblogs union:
…weblogs are the voters in this political system. In other words, weblogs don’t get elected by Google… but the sites they voted for do.
So even if you never visit a blog, you’re being influenced by them. The collective votes of the weblog community are determing what sites you see on […]
John Madden runs off to “Monday Night Football.” In his place, Fox will move baseball broadcaster Joe Buck up as their number one football announcer. Wrong! The trio of Dick Stockton, Troy Aikman (if he doesn’t go and try getting another concussion playing), and Moose Johnston is the best play-by-play team Fox has. […]
Research from an unreleased U.S. government study claims nuclear fallout from above-ground tests caused thousands of cancers. The study doesn’t say particular individuals got cancer from fallout. Instead, based on computer simulations, it paints a picture of where fallout may have been concentrated. The USA Today story doesn’t say if any tests […]
Throughout their career, U2 always has held to Christian belief. Terry Mattingly writes,
U2 is attacking, in word and deed, the modern church’s retreat from art and popular culture.

Central Asia could become the next Beirut. That’s what Pat Buchanan fears about U.S. involvement in the area. Today, Buchanan was in the Milwaukee area promoting his book The Death of the West and stopped into the store I work at for a brief book signing. Despite his harsh rhetoric toward the […]
Off-shore wind farms offer less local resistance. From watching the failed attempt to build a wind farm in my area, I can see avoiding backward-looking busybodies does have its benefits.

The U.S. has ended its policy of not using nukes on non-nuclear states. This asinine policy was erected way back in the Carter administration. Any weapon in the U.S. arsenal must available. Superior force and powerful retaliation can be deterrents from future attack.
I can already hear the screams from anti-American Europeans. […]
Some may think Sen. Paul Wellstone’s (D-MN) announcement that he has MS is just like The West Wing. It’s not even close. Wellstone only learned about his condition a month ago and has quickly told the world. President Bartlett knew he had the disease for years and (along with his doctor wife) […]
Paul Tully echoes the same concern I have for “designer children.”
We condemn the HFEA’s sanctioning of the destruction of any number of embryos simply because they do not happen to be a good tissue match for the young boy.

Last night, Condolezza Rice received the NAACP President?s Award. I was shocked, but pleased, when it was announced. Maybe this is a sign of political sophistication. Maybe the NAACP finally realizes that Black Americans aren’t monolithically liberal (even though they vote Democrat).

Despite all the calls for new regulations and new oversight boards, the market seems to be finding a way to prevent future Enrons. Anytime there’s a hint of an accounting irregularity, the stock market hammers the stock. Disney has said they won’t allow accounting firms to perform audit and consulting, and the accounting […]
Alexandra Pelosi put together a George W. Bush campaign documentary. Matt Labash liked it, but will it be as interesting as The War Room?

Tom Jacobs points out that financial utopia won’t come about even after months of Congressional hearings and legislative debate.
There’s no way that criminal law, government regulation, or auditor independence will ever ensure a just and fair society or a squeaky-clean stock market. Any tax expert, investment banker, ambitious exec or teenager will, given enough time, […]
Zain Hashmi has a rare genetic disease that requires a bone marrow transplant. His parents want to conceive a sibling to get stem cells for Zain. The family got permission from British authorities to use genetic testing to pick out an embryo that’s disease free.
British pro-life groups are upset. Peter […]
Mark Kurlansky’s Salt: A World History reminds me of a James Burke television show. There are just so many historic links to salt. It really shouldn’t be a surprise, since the compound is vital for human health.
