Charles Johnson notes that the Kos Kiss of Death is still alive, thanks to Schmidt's victory over Hackett in Ohio yesterday. Kos is batting a sweet 0-16 in our Great American Experience. Speaking of Paul Hackett, a Operation Iraqi Freedom...

From SDP: While it is a little hard to keep track of all the words flying around this weekend, here's a summary of what happened. On Friday or so, Erin started hammering on the Hildebrand Boys (the former/current Daschle bloggers...

Private Company Plans Tour Around the Moon

Space Adventures, a company based in Arlington, Va., has already sent two tourists into orbit. Today, it is to unveil an agreement with Russian space officials to send two passengers on a voyage lasting 10 to 21 days, depending partly on its itinerary and whether it includes the International Space Station. A roundtrip ticket will cost $100 million. The space-faring tourists will travel with a Russian pilot. They will steer clear of the greater technical challenge of landing on the Moon, instead circling it and returning to Earth.

ABC News Anchor Peter Jennings died today at his home in New York City. He was 67. On April 5, Jennings announced he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. He is survived by his wife Kayce Freed, his two children, Elizabeth, 25, and Christopher, 23, and his sister Sarah Jennings.

"As you all know, Peter learned only this spring that the health problem he'd been struggling with was lung cancer. With Kayce, he moved straight into an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. He knew that it was an uphill struggle. But he faced it with realism, courage, and a firm hope that he would be one of the fortunate ones. In the end, he was not.

To End All Wars. It is based on the same story as Bridge on the River Kwai, but I understand that the more recent film is much more true to the real story. Here's the official movie site although I...

I have noticed that to the anti-Thune elitists, it doesn?t matter what John Thune and his supporters do?it is never good enough. So I don?t know why I am bothering with this photo. But it seems that how close ones...

To paraphrase, if I may, "What editorializing media?" Well, how about the one that executive editor Bill Keller of the New York Times describes: Thanks to a virtual blackout by his fellow editors elsewhere in the media, odds are good...
