Indeed, until Thursday's story, The Post had written no news stories about the controversy this year," Alexander wrote. "That's prompted many...

(Snip) Unfortunately, the media didn’t exercise the same level of skepticism a normal person would exercise when listening to gossip about his or her neighbor.

Andrew Sullivan Is Entitled To His Opinion, But Not To His Own Facts

Andrew Sullivan is not a huge fan of Israel; he is entitled to his opinion. However, his latest column about the incident in the waters outside of Gaza makes up the facts.

St. Andrew: Lighting the way for Advent

When the buider and I laid off the corners to excavate for my house we oriented the longest side toward the south southwest.

In the summer the rising sun is blocked for several hours by a hill...
