Greg Ransom looks at recent media falsities through the lense of a philosphy professor and posts:
[T]he nearer you are to a news story, the falser it is, the farther you are from a story, the truer the story seems.
Ransom calls this Blogic 101, but in the post’s comments, Shannon Love declared this “Random’s Law of […]
The Jayson Blair story is only a few weeks old, and the guy’s already peddling proposals for movie and book deals. Drudge has posted some excerpts from an upcoming New York Observer interview with Blair. I’m not surprised that Blair’s claiming to be a racial victim. When hearing drivel from race baiters […]
All right, we’re at the first orange alert since the end of the Iraq War. The decision seems to be based on intelligence “al-Qaida has entered an operational period worldwide” to use Sec. Tom Ridge’s words. Effective bombings in Saudi Arabia and Morocco make the term “operational period” quite the understatement. Bush’s […]

Finally, if you’re interested in game theory — or just in getting ahead at the office, or getting a date — James Miller’s Game Theory at Work: How to Use Game Theory to Outthink and Outmaneuver Your Competition is worth your attention. I’ve been interested in game theory since junior high (and it […]
Eric at Blogcritics has compiled a bunch of Matrix Reloaded reviews posted on that weblog. If you’re Matrix-ed out like I am (for now) you won’t wade through them, but if you want more perspective on Hollywood/kung-fu/philosophy 101 then have at it.

Rich Galen, posing as a Democratic double agent (I hope), comes to this conclusion about the 2004 Presidential race:
I believe we have a great opportunity to be victorious in the Presidential election of 2004. We just have to find a different country to run in.
Ouch!

The Matrix Reloaded is like good lasangna: it’s better a few days later. The first time I watched it Thursday, I was taking in the whole visual experience. And quite an experience it was with amazing fight and action scenes. This evening I watched it again and focused on the part […]
I’ve been acquainted with Greg Ransom since college. On an economics listserv, I made the mistake of challenging Leftist economists while not having the depth and breadth of knowledge they did. I ended up looking like a fool. Greg was kind enough to e-mail me about what an effective argument would require. […]
There are two reasons to link to Michelle Malkin’s latest column: 1.) She’s gorgeous; and 2.) she quotes from F. A. Hayek to explain why Sen. Hillary Clinton’s idea of a national 211 information line is dumb.

People in the wine business aren’t sure if there will be a prolonged boycott of French wine. A wine store owner said the boycott has amounted to a “10 [percent] to 20 percent” decrease in sales. It appears the boycott is mostly in the market of wine selling for less than $20–people like […]
Now that the Texas Democrats ended their chicken run to Oklahoma, Governor Rick Perry said, “Quite frankly, this thing’s over with as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got work to do.” It may be over for now, but when the legislature starts up another session, we all know the GOP will try to finally […]
What yesterday’s Casablanca attacks show is al-Qaeda isn’t washed up and done for. Recently, President Bush said he thought about half the leadership has been captured or killed, but with it being such an amorphous, loose network, al-Qaeda can disperse and reform with deadly results. We can’t ease our pursuit of them. […]
We live in a strange world where things happen that don’t make sense. Somehow, Johnny Cash outlived his wife June. If you’ve seen the video for Johnny’s cover of “Hurt” you know how old and sickly he looks. June was also in the video, but she looked vibrant. As the cliche […]

The Matrix Reloaded was fun. The fight scenes were the best I’ve ever seen. They were choreographed superbly even if the Neo versus 100 Agent Smiths looked more like a video game than movie. That was a case where computers got in the way of the scene (although […]
A child’s life is worth only five years in jail. That’s what Delilah Lark got for shaking her two month old to death. And if she would have had the baby killed two months earlier by abortion she wouldn’t have gotten anything. Chalk up another win for the Culture of Death.
