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 […]
President Barack Obama's worldwide apology tour is getting old -- and it's barely even started. It's one thing to strike a tone and take positions different from a previous administration, especially one of a different party. But Obama has gone around the world apologizing for every real and perceived slight this nation has ever visited […]
President Barack Obama announced plans yesterday to spend way too much money on a high-speed rail system. Apparently he's enthused because Amtrak has done so well. But the one part that really got me was this one: "Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city -- no racing to an airport and across […]
You can find coverage of yesterday's tea parties across the blogosphere. I didn't have the benefit of being able to get away from work to attend any of them locally, but I did want to highlight this nugget from Michelle Malkin on the Sacramento tea party.

The excreble Al Sharpton on Somali pirates: Voluntary Coast Guard? And the Democrats take this man seriously.
A colleague turned me on to AngryJournalist.com last weekend because there was a post and some responses touting the "fact" that copy editors were unnecessary -- reporters could just read each other's copy and that would be sufficient. This earned hearty guffaws from my colleague -- who was amused that the ace reporter had used […]
UPDATE! This post has been updated Many of you will recall the report put out a few years ago by the Bush administration's Department of Homeland Security warning of the rise of left-wing extremism. The report singled out universities for their subversive "peace studies" programs (and the affiliated gender/minority "studies" programs) and groups like Code […]
The new first dog (FDOTUS) has a blog. Could have been worse, I suppose. These past few days I've been hanging out with three other Porties, names of Sunny, Splash and Cappy, owned by a big fat Irishman called Senator Ted Kennedy. I mean - Splash? I may be a dog but I know my […]
