This is funny. (via Best of the Web Today) In a debate on whether or not the U.S. government should fund health care, Krugman tried to use some uncooperative Canadians to make his point. Krugman: --and I wanted to ask, actually two questions, to the audience. First, how many Canadians, would Canadians in the room […]
Here's a couple of Internet ads that take on Barack Obama's opposition to the Illinois Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. Beware, this second one has a brief shot of an aborted child -- for the record, you've probably seen far worse on those unfortunate posters that certain overzealous abortion opponents wield. Frankly, I have a hard […]
Yesterday, the House voted 236-189 for a bill that would open up a miniscule portion of the outer continental shelf for drilling, allow a few states along the southern eastern seaboard to allow drilling, but would give the states that allowed it no benefit -- and therefore no incentive -- to allow it.

The documents reveal once again that Democrats see philanthropic giving as paying your taxes -- and little more. Biden's adjusted gross income never dropped below $200k and he never gave more […]
I'm not sure Howard Kurtz, who I generally respect, saw the same interview I saw. But when Palin seemed puzzled by a question about the Bush Doctrine -- which has several possible meanings -- Gibson explained what he meant without making it sound like a gotcha moment. There's an old journalistic (and false) axiom that […]
Late last week, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign took aim at Sen. John McCain, painting him as old and a luddite. The ad mocks McCain for not knowing how to use a computer or send an e-mail. Problem, the reason McCain doesn't use a computer is due to the fact that the most ubiquitous interface for […]
Via Patterico comes these videos comparing how ABC News reporter Charlie Gibson interviews a Democrat with little accomplishment running for president... ... versus how Gibson interviews a Republican governor who took on and took out a corrupt GOP governor and worked to reform state government... . There's a lot you can say about the disparate […]
