Wicked Interview with Sy Hersch
One of the reporters doing the best work over the last two years has been the New Yorker’s Seymour Hersch. I am often in awe of his skill as both a writer and a reporter. He has broken several damning stories about corruption and conflicts of interest in how the administration has conducted itself in [...]
Jessica Lynch: Political Pawn
The pride of West Virginia I’ll start this off by immunizing myself against the charges I am dissing Jessica Lynch. I’m not. She chose to join the Army, she survived a horrible ordeal, and conducted herself with honor. The story behind the story has been explored by several (mostly non-U.S.) media outlets, and the main [...]

Someone Please Stop The President From Making Up Words
From today’s press conference: “It is dangerous in Iraq because there are some who believe that we are soft, that the will of the United States can be shaken by suiciders” Suiciders? The word “suicide” is not a verb in any version of English that I’m familiar with…thus, it’s a little hard to be a [...]
The New Classics
WE KNOW DRAMA. If you watch the TNT network with any frequency, you know that this phrase is repeated so often that it literally makes your head hurt.
