CNN's Bill Schneider suggests that Barack Obama is the "superpresident." He comes to this conclusion after noting: According to Gallup polling examining past presidents' job approval, that's similar to where the last six elected presidents stood after 100 days. Only Ronald Reagan got a slightly higher rating (67 percent). Bill Clinton and the first President […]
Charles Krauthammer's latest column on what you old people can expect in your later years: rationing of health care. Pressure on the Presses -- the Wall Street Journal's helpful graphic on the decline and fall of the newspaper industry.
I've only seen it reported openly on Fox News and in passing at Politico.com, but it appears that the "tax cut for 95 percent of Americans" will last all of two years before it dies. To tighten future deficits, the deal requires Obama to accept reductions from his domestic spending plans and forego favorite tax […]
I've mentioned before that Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site Politifact.com isn't as unbiased as they would have you believe -- they're just not as far to the left as, say, The New York Times.

It started Saturday, when he put himself next to Colombian President Alvaro Uribe at lunch and then studiously exchanged notes. Having listened to Uribe, (and that must have been a nice dose of sanity after […]
For a couple of years after 9/11, columnist/blogger Andrew Sullivan was sane and realistic. Then he went off the rails and his Daily Dish blog became a two-trick pony -- anti-"torture" and pro gay marriage. Courtesy of Tom Maguire, we have evidence of how far Sullivan has fallen. It is to subject captives to such […]
Last week, more than 500,000 people nationwide attended "tea parties" to protest not only taxes, but the Obama administration's out-of-control spending spree. In reporting on this event, various "journalists" on MSNBC and CNN became vulgarians -- referring to the protests as "teabagging". For those unfamiliar with the term, it is an oral sex reference. Once […]
White House financial guru Austan Goolsbee just got off Fox News' "Your World with Neil Cavuto" with a whopper that he should've been challenged on. Goolsbee claimed that Republicans have no right to complain about President Barack Obama's historic deficit levels because they supported "multi-trillion dollar unnecessary wars." I'm not sure about his use of […]
