by Jennifer Angliss Let’s take Sarah Palin at her word that Trig is her biological son. We do not currently have any hard evidence to say otherwise, despite all those pictures floating around the internet. But the evidence we do have is disturbing enough. At 36 weeks of pregnancy, Palin was in Texas for an energy conference. She began leaking
Read moreI’ve been following the New Yorker/Obama cartoon dustup that my colleague, JS O’Brien, wrote about earlier today. In addition to the official and media reactions that have littered our news channels, I’ve also been tracking the heated debates raging across Left Blogistan with a mix of bewilderment and anger.

Read moreIn a long-overdue move, Boulder prosecutors have officially cleared the family of JonBenet Ramsey in the girl’s December 26, 1996 murder.

Chief Executive Leslie Moonves shot back at former CBS news anchor Dan Rather today, saying remarks Rather made about his successor, Katie Couric, were “sexist.”Rather, speaking on MSNBC by phone on Monday, said CBS had made the mistake of taking the evening news
Read moreIn my last post I noted that Mitt Romney is on the stump simply making things up. And in another post from April 26 I took a stick to Secretary of State Rice for not realizing that there is no Soviet Union anymore. So what do these stories have in common? (Yes, there are politicians we’d do well to keep
Read moreYou know those news teasers they run during prime-time programming? “Coming up on ActionNews at 10 – can we expect more snow for your morning drive?” Or, “the Broncos cut a big name today – tune in to News5 after NYPD Blue to find out who’s looking for a new team.” These things annoy the hell out of me, and
