  • Bloggers, Don Imus and free speech

    Our treasured right to self-expression will survive even if blog operators delete nasty comments and a clueless radio host loses his over job racist remarks.
  • Bill Donohue and I -- together at last!

    It's Holy Thursday, and on "Scarborough Country" we're debating whether the media is persecuting Christians. Guess which side I'm on.
  • Salon's new letters registration policy

    A few small changes that we hope will improve our letters and comments system.
  • Play ball!

    Thoughts on Barry Bonds and Newt Gingrich as I head out to my favorite spring ritual, baseball's Opening Day.
  • Letters on "Men Who Hate Women on the Web"

    Thanks to readers for their smart, thoughtful ideas about whether online sexism is rampant, and if so, the best ways to fight it.
  • Andrea Mitchell's kinda sorta correction

    On "Hardball" she says Gen. Petraeus met with senators from both parties on Iraq, not just Republicans.
  • The American people: Just not that into George Bush

    James Taranto ridicules Matthew Dowd and Andrew Sullivan with dumb gay jokes, but it won't revive the president's approval ratings.
  • Did Gen. Petraeus meet with GOP caucus on Iraq?

    NBC's Andrea Mitchell says Republican senators told the Iraq commander he has until Labor Day to make progress. What's wrong with this story?
  • A depressing victory for Bill Donohue

    And a defeat for the rest of us -- no chocolate Jesus at New York hotel.
  • Bill Donohue and the big chocolate Jesus

    The Catholic League bully is fixated on the cocoa genitals of a 6-foot sculpture of Christ on the cross, but I see a sly play on Easter commercialism and the myth of a white Jesus.
  • On the trail of "legislate, don't investigate!"

    With help from readers, a look at how Republican talking points spread through the media.
  • Welcome to the neighborhood, Politico!

    The new Web publishing venture has gotten pummeled this week for mistakes as well as political bias. Should Salon be throwing stones?
  • Setting Democrats up for failure

    A new media myth is born: Focusing on investigation over legislation will bring political "peril."
  • Howling at Al Gore's enemies

    Bob Somerby's done a great service by outing Gore's media haters -- but I'm not one of them!
  • Refuting Karl Rove's talking points

    Only five of almost 500 attorneys have been fired midterm in the last 25 years. Can we stop saying what Bush did is just what every president does?
  • ACLU defeats COPA, again

    Another big victory for free speech on the Internet, and Salon.
  • Snow job, II

    He's the White House spokesman, but they're not paying him to be a "fact witness" for the Justice Department.
  • Snow job

    When Tony Snow opposed executive privilege for President Clinton, it was "not an entirely analogous situation." Read the transcript.
  • Swooning over Gore

    He won his Oscar. Why do so many Democrats want him to try again to win the White House, too?
  • Coloring in Obama

    The GOP is trying to slur him with the "most liberal" tag. Their facts don't add up, but the comparison is good news for the Illinois senator.
  • Credit where it's due

    OK, Salon wasn't alone in covering the war well
  • Thank you, Howard Kurtz

    A column crediting Talking Points Memo for great work on the U.S. attorneys story finally gets Salon's Walter Reed scoops mentioned in the Washington Post.
  • What a difference four years makes

    On the Iraq war anniversary, it's worth remembering the climate of bullying and intimidation that abetted the Bush administration's case for war.
  • Another blog?

    Bruce Sterling says we only have 10 years -- let's make the most of them!
