The Associated Press has done the job of checking some of Obama’s statements against what I like to call “reality.” You shouldn’t be surprised that Obama doesn’t come out looking especially honest. You should read all of them, but this whopper I’ve just got to share with you. OBAMA: "You haven't seen me out there […]
Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site Politifact.com has come under fire here at Hoystory for several months because of its tendency to consult left-wing sources and then use them to discredit conservatives and prop up President Obama. Now, I’m not usually a defender of Ann Coulter, but Politifact.com decides to give a statement that she made regarding […]
The classic TV show “Hogan’s Heroes” featured a stocky Sgt. Schultz who could be counted on at least once an episode to unequivocally state: “I know nothing.

This hasn’t gotten anything in the way of coverage in American media, but a Catalan newspaper is reporting that the results of the Honduran referendum on expanding President Manuel Zelaya’s term – the one that never actually occurred – were found on computers in the presidential palace. That’s right, before a single illegal ballot had […]
