  • Hitchens lets his passion undermine his point

    These rants from Hitchens have entertainment value, I suppose, but as with all of today's opinion-driven media they must be taken with a grain of salt. A lot could be written, but I'll just focus on one point here: Hitchens is mistaken to think that a failure to conflate Mormonism with Christianity indicates bigotry. The teachings of Mormonism ...

  • Professional Journalism

    I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him.

  • What the dems need to be talking about

    Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants.

  • N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?

    For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...

  • So bigotry is now journalism?

    I am appalled that the editors of Slate chose to publish this exercise in bigotry, prejudice, and ignorance. Since when is it acceptable journalistic behavior for a public intellectual to insult and ridicule people's religion? To begin an article with a bald statement of prejudice? What happened to research, insight, explanation, ...
