Looking for something good to read? Let me help you out...
IN THE HEADLINES:
The New York Times has become an absolute joke. I know, I know, it's old news... but still, the depths to which they have plunged are sometimes mindboggling! First, they completely ignore a massive scandal brewing in their own backyard regarding Air(head) America Radio essentially stealing money from disadvantaged kids and Alzheimer's patients. Brian Maloney is the lead dog on this one. (Keep scrolling.)
Next, the NYT decides to go on a witchhunt of Supreme Court Nominee, Judge John G. Roberts, Jr., over the adoption of his two young children! Keep it up, boneheads. You're winning new converts everyday... to alternative media, that is! Captain's Quarters has the goods.
Is Iran supplying Iraqi insurgents? Captain Ed has the details on that, too... and a few questions.
There was a special election earlier this week to fill a vacant seat in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District. The Democrat candidate, Paul Hackett, ran commercials playing up his status as an Iraq War veteran and making it look like he was all chummy with President Bush... meanwhile he trashed Bush on the stump, much to the delight of the Moonbats. So the Democrats are celebrating the results of the election in this normally Republican district - the only problem is... he lost! Rick Moran has a great round-up at RWNH.
The NCAA has just banned all mascots and team nicknames they deem might be offensive from any NCAA Tournaments. It's more PC run-amok! Erick at Red State has more.
90 Days in jail... that's what one lawyer got... for having sex with a minor... a 14 year old kid... he solicited over the Internet... and the lawyer, is HIV positive! Has your jaw dropped yet? The Hoot Owl has the story, and a follow-up.

HMMMMM... INTERESTING:
So, the Air America scandal doesn't seem to interest much of the MSM. I wonder how the "groundbreaking" liberal talk radio network is doing in the ratings nowadays anyway, don't you? Pat Curley has a very thorough analysis, including every Top 20 market, and a little side note to boot!
This, from Fred Fry, is simply a great post: Signs that Allah (God) is not on Your Side
If you, like me, are into James Bond, and you are wondering what ever happened to the evil organization known as SPECTRE, Ace of Spades has the answer, along with a whole lot of other cool trivia about the series!
The Undergrad gives us a look at a great interview. I don't know if it is real or an urban legend, but the comeback line at the end is just too funny!

Speaking of the Moonbats, it seems they are at it again with a new conspiracy theory... yep - you probably guessed it - the Ohio CD-2 special election - STOLEN!
