Given all the (necessary and deserved) talk about media bias (see especially my new home away from home, here), it’s nice to see something really good being done at a major metropolitan daily. Thus I am delighted to point you to a new blog launched recently by and for — and to allow readers to correspond with — the editorial board of the Dallas Morning News.
I like to think I would have been every bit as enthusiastic even if Rod Dreher, a crackerjack editorial writer there who was formerly a senior editor at National Review, hadn’t cited one of my posts (Mar. 29, 6:25PM).

UPDATE [3/30]
One bug (or feature, as the case may be) of the DMN blog is that there are no permalinks to the individual posts. That’s because, as Rod Dreher explained, they’ve decided not to archive the posts. So, read them while they’re hot!
This is off topic, but I ran across this link at Common Sense and Wonder blog. The author of the NYT article complains that the US is not letting in enough foreign students of math, science, engineering and computer science, to keep the US competitive in those areas.
But why aren’t US students filling the positions? Is it because US schools discriminate against male students? Don’t males generally predominate in those fields of study? What has happened to the american male, and who is holding him down?
