In which I agree with Democrat Lynn Woolsey: The Obama Administration’s argument is one that shows contempt for the Constitution and for the executive’s co-equal branch of government, the United States Congress. To say that our aggressive bombing of Libya does not rise to the level of ‘hostilities’ flies in the face of common sense […]
Earlier this week a Nevada judge took aim at Righthaven, a shakedown outfit law firm that has contracted with various newspapers to sue bloggers who do nothing more than quote articles under the doctrine of “fair use.” U.S. District Judge Roger Hunt of Nevada ordered Righthaven to explain why Hunt should not sanction it for […]
Last week the local radio station, which actually has a locally hosted show during drive time, was discussing the Rolling Stone article on Fox News chief Roger Ailes. I hadn’t read the article at the time, but now I have and I must say that one word comes to mind: predictable. I called into the […]
If the release of tens of thousands of e-mails from Sarah Palin’s time as governor of Alaska proved one thing, it’s that the purveyors of “serious journalism” are neither “serious” nor really practicing “journalism.” After spending the weekend scouring through them, the only truly notable thing shows Palin has a heart bigger than any of […]
Michael Steele didn’t perform particularly well as head of the Republican National Committee during his term. I believe the technical term is “gaffe-prone.” But DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz continues her effort to make Steele look Churchillian. Reality-based community? Keep trying to sell that one.
Color me extremely skeptical that anything of substance will come out of today's e-mail dump of Palin's time as Alaska governor. The way the media is handling this is another story altogether. In a best-case scenario, Palin's e-mails affect nothing more than her future as a political candidate. With there being this little issue of […]
Wisconsin unionists and their brain-dead college students protested Gov. Scott Walker yesterday as he honored Special Olympians at a ceremony yesterday. Maybe you guys should spend some of that union money on a PR firm because you're doing it wrong.
Lost amid all of the endless coverage of the aptly named Rep. Anthony Weiner was DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s latest idiocy. [I]f you go back to the year 2000, when we had an obvious disaster and - and saw that our voting process needed refinement, and we did that in the America Votes Act […]
Last week, Politifact rated a claim by the Texas Public Policy Foundation that Texas had created more jobs over the last five years than the other 49 (or 56) states combined. In Politifact’s “analysis” this completely accurate statement was listed as “half-true.” The mental gymnastics required to come to this conclusion were summed up by […]
Guilty as sin. He did it, no doubt about it. Why? Because an innocent man doesn’t behave the way he has. He hasn’t reported the purported hack to the police, because they would likely investigate and find their was no hack, that Weiner did it himself—at that point, an actual crime would’ve been committed. As […]
