National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru follows up on Sen. John Kerry's dubious Social Security scaremongering that I noted earlier this week. The campaign has backed off its claim that Goolsbee's study tells us anything about benefit levels under a Bush-style reform. They have also gotten rid of all the language that claims that today's retirees would […]
Fox News just played a clip of Sen. John Kerry out on the stump again today and he had this to say -- likening current times to the Vietnam era: As I look out at these faces, these are the same kinds of times. Mothers and families distressed and torn apart over what's happening, young […]
I just added the Fahrenhype 9/11 documentary due out next month to my Netflix.com rental queue. After doing this, I was presented with the "Other Movies You Might Enjoy" screen, which included: "Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy."

Well, Fox News has dug up an incident that should've gotten the CBS News producer behind the forged documents story fired years ago. It is […]
Liberal interest groups like People for the American Way are already putting out stories that evil, racist Republicans are trying to keep blacks from voting Democratic. Millions of U.S. citizens, including a disproportionate number of black voters, will be blocked from voting in the Nov. 2 presidential election because of legal barriers, faulty procedures or […]
I'm watching CNN's "Inside Politics" and they're reporting on Sen. John Kerry's promise to do nothing about Social Security's structural flaws and continue down the merry road to destruction. No, that's not how they're characterizing it, but that's the reality. Kerry is promising to never privatize Social Security. Fine. Kerry also was touting a study […]
Yeah, those people you see at peace rallies really are the type that support our troops. A local soldier back from the war in Iraq said he was beaten at an area concert because of what was printed on his T-shirt, NBC 4's Nancy Burton reported. Foster Barton, 19, of Grove City, received a Purple […]
