CNN Headline News:
“There’s more sex and violence on primetime TV that ever before. Why has TV become so tawdry? Our investigation tomorrow.”
…
“Shocking new details from Anna Nicole Smith’s diary coming up next.”
Somehow, I think the answers to the first question and the why to the coverage of Smith are similar.

This nonsense about Michael Moore going to Cuba is pretty amusing. It’s completely bizarre that we still have an embargo on Cuba.
I’m not a fan of Moore, but his current documentary about health care seems easy enough to get behind. Who thinks our health care system works?
But why is Moore going to Cuba? Yes, I [...]

So Hannity has taken to labeling people enemies of the state on his new show. That’s…well, it’s a lot of things, but you have to wonder what makes someone use that phrase. It definitely has a different connotation than even something as silly as “enemy of America.” I guess no one will be confusing Hannity [...]

With the Foley scandal, sexual predators have been a hot topic lately. There’s an interesting article in the latest issue of Skeptical Inquirer about the panic over the issue. It’s available here, in a slightly different form.
You’ve heard that 1 in 5 child Internet users have received a sexual solicitation, right? It’s here, among other [...]

Mr. O’Reilly has a new book coming out called Culture Warrior. It’s about the war between “traditionalists” and “Secular-Progressives” (abbreviated “S-P”). He even has a quiz to tell which side you’re on! You can read the preface here. Crackin’ stuff:
I can tell you truthfully that I never envisioned myself crusading against establishment forces like the [...]

Hey, the Cats beat Colorado and FSU beat Miami. I’m happy.
Apparently today was labor day or something. What I find funny about this holiday is I don’t think anyone thinks about unions because of it. Memorial day is close to the same way, but you’ll always find some kind of tribute to our soldiers on [...]

Anyway, a few quick things. Steve and Mark T have finally started up their own blog. Should be interesting, so go check it out.
The second thing: Colby’s trying to get a sort of debate blog set up. Debaters are needed. Here’s what’s up so far.
Finally, I already made my displeasure about Jon Benet Ramsey being [...]

*sigh* Not only do we have intermittent “OMG missing/dead white girl!” outburts from the media, we now have “OMG missing/dead white girl from ten years ago!” outbursts.
Fucking hell.
I noticed flipping channels that Nancy Grace appears to be temporarily absent. Perhaps this outburst will be bearable after all.

Peter Beinart’s The Good Fight is an interesting, but flawed, book.
Beinart’s book breaks down into two parts. The first half of the book is a history of cold war liberalism and its influence on American foreign policy. Beinart lionizes Harry Truman as a model for hawkish liberal foreign policy, as would be expected from a [...]

So, I was flipping channels a bit ago and went past C-SPAN. I was slightly surprised at what they have on. They have Alex Jones and a bunch of like minded people discussing 9/11. When I say discuss, I mean ranting about how 9/11 was an inside job. That’s what’s on C-SPAN.
So, what, is the [...]
