How’s that working out? President Obama's post-partisan America has disappeared, replaced by the politics of polarization, resentment and division. In a Univision interview on Monday, the president, who campaigned in 2008 by referring not to a "Red America" or a "Blue America" but a United States of America, urged Hispanic listeners to vote in this […]
It took President George W. Bush a heck of a lot longer to get this unpopular. Says [Democrat pollster Doug] Schoen: "Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president." Worse, Schoen adds, "43 percent say that […]
Proposition 23 in California will suspend the state’s global warming law until the state unemployment rate falls below 5.5% for 4 consecutive quarters. The one thing you don’t want to be doing in this economic environment is raising costs on consumers and businesses. (For the record: The stupid law ought to be repealed wholesale, but […]

Speaking truth to power? Holding people accountable? The Fourth Estate? Watchdogs? Bolshevik Storytelling is what that is. The overwhelming majority of American journalists today are pussies who take pride in the fact that they’re somehow better than their readers and think they’re displaying bravery when they’re merely enforcing a liberal orthodoxy. The latest evidence is […]
Over my years in newspapers I made a note of what it took people to get fired because far too often incompetence wasn’t one of them. What did get people fired? Discussing a potential job with a competing paper at the office within earshot of your supervisor. Calling in “sick” and then appearing at a […]
You’ve heard the lines: “The people vs. the powerful,” “Pro-business court,” “Main St. vs. Wall Street.” President Obama and the liberal left level these charges whenever a Supreme Court Decision doesn’t go their way. There’s a case before the Supreme Court right now over whether the family of a girl can sue drug giant Wyeth […]
