It was a last minute decision, but I launched for NYC soon after pulling up the Drudge Report and reading the New York Times email about Wednesday’s “all hands” meeting at the Astor Theater near Times Square. Freeping the Old Grey Lady and then Freeping Janeane Garofolo, a Middle Age Red Lazy (i.e., commie slacker), was just too big of a target of opportunity to pass up. Getting into Manhattan was fairly easy and I arrived at about 1:45 p.m., a half-hour before the doors were scheduled to open. Thanks to directions from the NYPD, the Astor was easy to...

This week, we learned from the New York Times that one of its reporters has been committing journalistic fraud. According to an embarrassing revelation by none other than the Times itself, former Times reporter Jayson T. Blair was, shall we say, a little liberal with the imagination when it came to at least 36 of the 73 articles he wrote for the paper as a national reporter......

JEDDAH, 10 May 2003 — The Shariah considers terrorism one of the most heinous crimes, says Dr. Abdullah Al-Turki, secretary-general of the Makkah-based Muslim World League. “Islam has nothing to do with terrorism and the two do not meet at any point,” he said. “We are saying this not to please anybody but out of our conviction that showing mercy and compassion to our fellow human beings is the hallmark of Islam,” he added. He said it was the duty of the Muslims to provide full support for the government in its fight against terror. Sheikh Saleh ibn Muhammad Al-Taleb,...

An American friend of mine visiting from South America walked away from one of last month's parties around the L.A. Times Books Festival rather shaken and bewildered. "I felt like I was in a loony bin," he said as we emerged from a chic book-launch party in the Hollywood Hills. "If one more crazy person came up to me with some crackpot theory, I swear I would have thrown him off the balcony," he said. I know what he meant. With the 2004 presidential campaign now under way, it seems clear that as whacked out as George W. Bush may...

Jackie Calmes of the Wall Street Journal weaves this seamlessly into her 'Washington Wire.''Top Gun' backfires but on Whom?Democrats demand probes follwing reports that President Georeg W. Bush didn't have to fly a jet aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as the White House said, but was near enough to a helicopter, and that the troops could have come home a day earlier.'If that had been Bill Clinton,' says former [Presidential] spokesman Joe Lockhardt, the subpoeanas would have been flying, and there would be blood on the floor from Republicans fighting over who gets to investigate.'President Bush and his aides dismissed...

<p>BAGHDAD -- Saddam Hussein's faithful information minister, Mohammed Said Sahhaf, whose outrageous proclamations and denial of the obvious Iraqi setbacks during the war earned him an international following of sorts, is reported to be trying to strike a deal with the Americans that would allow him to go into exile in Egypt.</p>

<p>Iraq's former information minister is set to cement the cult status he won during the recent military conflict by featuring on a dance track due to be released in Britain this month.</p>
<p>Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf became known as "Comical Ali" by appearing each day -- with trademark beret and smile -- to emphatically deny events that viewers could see unfolding on their televisions.</p>

<p>President Bush called him ''my man'' and told NBC's Tom Brokaw recently that he used to pop out of meetings just to watch his ''unbelievable'' press briefings on TV.</p>
<p>The president has company as a fan of the reality-defying proclamations by now-missing Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, 63, Saddam Hussein's information minister.
