One of the things that annoys me most about the liberal media machine and the Democratic candidates is their mischaracterization of George Bush&#39;s position on stem cell research.

I SEE from last Thursday's Evening Times that Network Rail hasn't given priority to the excellent Crossrail project to link rail lines south of the Clyde to those in the north and east.  I live in the Merchant City and would dearly love to use the proposed station at Glasgow Cross.

We made it back into the house last night. There were National Guardsmen at key checkpoints in Poway that were set up to protect neighborhoods from looters. These young men were carrying fully loaded M16s. For a quick second I thought I was in a war zone. That was incredibly intimidating for me.

I made a quick stop at the Gartner Financial Services Technology conference in Boston last week, en route to a long weekend in Rhode Island, where I consumed more lobster than previously thought physically possible â we donât get lobster on the West Coast, and donât even get me started about the clam chowder!

Looks like I'll get the drive back soon. First I got a call from the Emeryville store, then I got a call from a person in Apple Executive offices (she gave me her name and number, but I'm not going to publish it here). I'll report back when I have more info. PS: The number of idiotic comments has gone way up.

I walked out of my office yesterday morning and crossed the street to the bank. I didn&#39;t speak with a teller. I never do. I can&#39;t remember the last time I waited in the tellers&#39; line.

It is 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, and my wife, Sara, and I are driving up Georgia Avenue toward Olney. Our destination: Shoppers Food Warehouse on Route 108. Our mission: to get our flu shots. The big question: Will we arrive in time?

In one window on my computer, I'm strolling down the Embarcadero in San Francisco -- but instead of sticking to the sidewalk, I'm somehow occupying the middle of the southbound lanes, where I've been passed by a series of sport-utility vehicles.

We left Quebec City at 6 AM on our way to New York City via Montreal. It was my first train ride. I've been traveling by plane in the US for 30 years, and have seen the food go from reasonable to horrible, airline employees go from happy to surly, airport security go from somewhat inconvenient to completely ridiculous and the overall experience of plane travel go from enjoyable to barely endurable. That's really what airline travel has become, a barely endurable way to get from point A to point B. It is my hope that train travel will be a "eureka" experience.

If you plan on visiting these places, you better act fast. They may not be there by the time you get around to booking your flight.

One of my buddies had a brilliant idea I hadn't thought of: Check Pennsylvania's maps for what's called a co-op farm. It's not a commune, it's a farm which offers up it's land to the public for hunting.  What the Farmer Gets  If the hunters are decent-folk, they generally clean up the trash off the property. I personally built a blind out of rocks I happened to find in a fallow field to give me something to sit on and a hiding place. The blind is next to a power utility pole, so it gives me a great shot at birds coming in slowly to land on the wires. He got his field cleaned essentially for free since I also picked up trash. I don't want my game animals eating garbage.  The other bonus the farmer enjoys is limited crop losses to wildlife. This particular farmer was doing the soy-corn-fallow crop rotation which is pretty typical Pennsylvania crop rotation. Doves love this stuff and eat it up. Probably about 2/3rds of the doves I cleaned had corn in their crop.  What the Hunters Get  A place to hunt with a ton of acreage devoted to what essentially amounts to bait.
