Junk Yard Blog points out an interesting headline
in the New York Times: *”Expert Said to Tell Legislators He Was Pressed
to Distort Some Evidence.”*But the story actually said that while the

have been: *”Expert Said [...]

Hey, I am usually in favor of anything that gets women to expose their
breasts. So, I support the right of women to whip ‘em out for a feeding
in restaurants, libraries and anywhere else they have been denied the
right to do so. But _this woman_
is dangerous to herself, her baby and others.

Ann Coulter took jibes at
Hillary Clinton yesterday morning. That’s to be expected, since Coulter
is a conservative columnist and Mrs. Clinton is a liberal senator. But
Coulter — acting true to form — made a personal attack that only
lessens the strength of any intellectual argument she might have made.

I just heard Carol Moseley-Braun refer to the “failed presidency” of
President Bush. This is after he led us through two victorious wars and
an utter lack of successful terrorist attacks on the United States after
Sept. 11, 2001. We are in the middle of a economic downturn that started
during a dot-com bust that happened under President Clinton, [...]

The OmbudsGod
points out that allegations of deliberate favoritism
by the New
York Times toward President Clinton — this time from a Clinton insider
– have gone unreported on Romenesko’s media news site
. I’ve blogged

This is the scene that greets my family when we want to sit out on our
deck. I’ve seen larger piles of garbage than this, actually. I cannot
tell you how much fun it is to not be able to open my back door — just
a few feet away from this mess — because of the swarm [...]

I am not even going to complain that Brian Linse
has added “Peroria Pundit” to his blogroll.
