Posted in Religion on February 26, 2004 | 10 Comments »
The New York Post reports that on the first day of public screenings of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. a woman in Wichita, Kansas, suffered a fatal heart attack during the crucifixion scene. Not to make light of such a tragedy, it somehow seems in keeping with the enormous hysteria over the movie. [...]

The ball that “cost” the Cubs a place in World Series is going to be blown up tonight. This is a travesty. The ball has done nothing wrong. It did ask to be hit, it did not ask to be dropped, and it certainly didn’t let all those runs in. Whats worse, is that this [...]
What the Hell?

Iraqi Cleric: Give Us Elections

This was always the biggest question hanging over the occupation: what to do if democracy produces a government we don’t like. Well, it looks like that is on the verge of happening: Iraq’s most prominent Shiite Muslim cleric called Thursday for elections by the end of the year, signaling he would accept an interim government [...]
NPR: Show Me The Bias
Posted in Politics on February 25, 2004 | 25 Comments »
It seems that every time NPR gets mentioned in a debate, some conservative is decrying the pervasive leftist bias that’s supposedly prominent at NPR. I hear this a lot, from a lot of different conservatives, most recently this guy (what was NPR supposed to do, censor the opposition?). The topic even came up at the [...]
