Here Come the Expos; Enemy to Public Schools
As every sports fan knows, the Montreal Expos are moving to Washington D.C., and receiving a welcoming gift of a free, taxpayer funded stadium. As every resident of the D.C. area knows, the public schools in D.C. suck. And I’m not just talking about the ritual passing of guns through windows to avoid […]
if you were a fan of mystery science theater 3000, you’ll enjoy the new show on the ESPN classic network called cheap seats. it’s the funniest thing on TV right now. and while it follows the model of MST3K in that a couple of wiseacres crack jokes about whatever’s on the screen, it […]
best news article EVER
i recently found an article tacked to my cork board that i had ripped out of the daily universe back in october 2002. you know it means a lot to me because it survived 5 moves. here it is, entitled: “student breaks femur trying to stop rollerblader on campus.” i’ve bolded my […]
UVSC Debate Rages
Sean Hannity has offered to debate Michael Moore at UVSC. Unfortunately, Moore admits that he isn’t a debater, since logic is required. So, Hannity is still offering to speak at the school for FREE. He apparently does not require the $40,000 per diem for food and personal hygiene items.
Also, read the comments that […]
Why should Michael Moore not be given a podium by any institution of higher learning?

The idiocy of this man knows no end.
Utah Valley State College, always eager to set itself apart, has reinforced it’s statewide image as “that other school near BYU.”
In a a not-so-surprising move for a school populated by functionally illiterate administrators, UVSC has decided to spend $40,000 to bring Michael Moore to its campus. Unable to entice the world’s fattest pundit with […]
thx 1138
From all-encompassingly reader Briant:
While perusing the entertainment section of my school paper the other day, I read a review about last week�s re-release of THX 1138, a 1971 film by George Lucas. The critic based the bulk of his evaluation on the fact that the theater was empty on a Saturday night and therefore […]
The Real Worry About Kerry’s Campaign
While Republicans are elated at the utter disarray of John F. Kerry’s campaign, there is something all voters can draw from the situation. Surprisingly, former Gore 2000 campaign chief Tony Coelho hit the nail on the head:
“It also starts to impact in regard to the whole image of leadership. If someone can’t control a […]
Marcelo Bielsa Resigns
The coach of the Argentine national soccer team resigned yesterday. In pure winning percentage he is tops in Argentina’s history. Yet despite the Olympic gold medal a few weeks ago, he has been scorned by many Argentines since the collapse of the team in the 2002 World Cup.
Nonetheless, Bielsa is a class act, […]
John/John - The Ambigiously “Foreign Policy” Duo!
From yesterday’s news:
Senator Kerry is accusing the Bush administration of letting what he described as a “nuclear nightmare” develop in North Korea by refusing to deal with Pyongyang when Mr. Bush first came to office in 2001.
And yet, what would John/John do to curb the nuclear crisis in Iran? Almost the exact same thing […]
New Movie Examines Iraq
A new movie, produced by Roger Aronoff of Accuracy In Media, examines the true story behind the conflict in Iraq. Confronting Iraq comes out on October 2nd.
Kudos to Koppel….Sort of
Ted Koppel deserves some mild applause (golf clap perhaps?) for his airing of CBS News’ dirty laundry last night on Nightline. Of course, he’s got to do something to help restore his rep.
New Movie Looks at September 11th
Thanks to Whitney for bringing to our attention a new movie dealing with September 11th. This time, it looks at the events of 9/11 from the hijackers’ point of view.
While certainly an interesting endeavor, I wonder if a film looking at the 1930’s and 40’s from say, Hitler’s point of view, would play well. […]
Rather Interesting
According to InstaPundit:
A media contact emails: “ABC’S NIGHTLINE DOING THE forgeries tonight, and their experts say most likely forgeries. CBS had serious meetings this evening over this.”
Geee…CBS uses documents on 60 Minutes that were so “thoroughly examined” that in less than 24 hours the internet (i.e. bloggers, readers, and independant experts) are able to completely […]
Bush Documents Are Likely Forged
You’ve probably heard about the “new” National Guard documents that were recently released by the White House. In fact, they were actually just documents that the White House got from CBS News.
But now the twist: they are most likely forged.
I would offer 4-1 odds that this is really a Republican manuever to completely discredit […]
