Last week, Sen. Joe Biden went off the reservation again in an effort to woo environmentalists and he came out against "clean coal" power plants. The problem is, that that's not Barack Obama's stated position. But the Obama campaign isn't saying that Biden misspoke or misunderstood the campaign's official position -- nope, their response is […]
Back in 1999 or 2000 I was flying back to San Diego from Portland, Ore., aboard an Alaska Airlines jet when the plane was forced down in Los Angeles. Sen. Joe Biden feels my pain. "Ladies and gentlemen, where are we now? Where are we now?" Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said to the National Guard […]
That's an old G.K. Chesterton adage about what happens when men stop believing in God. In Friday's Wall Street Journal, Mollie Ziegler Hemingway points out that "comedian" Bill Maher is a prime example of Chesterton's statement.

The Obama campaign was hoping to reintroduce Mr. Biden this week as running mate attack dog. But his penchant for verbal rambling ensured that much of the attention he […]
Video proof that Gibson's "Are we fighting a holy war?" question was perhaps the idiotic question to be asked of anyone this election season.
Last week, I pointed out that the Boston Globe had seemingly retracted 8-year-old reporting on Sen. John McCain's physical disabilities due to wounds suffered at the hands of the North Vietnamese in order not to contradict a new ad by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign portraying McCain as a luddite. Well, the pattern is repeating itself […]
Sen. Barack Obama gave the following orders to his footsoldiers yesterday in Nevada. In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too. "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk […]
