The title of this post is a quote from Mythbusters’ Adam Savage whose reality frequently isn’t quite to his liking as machines he constructs fail spectacularly in a ball of flame. It’s also indicative of the mindset of some parts of the “reality-based” media. When last we came across Providence Journal columnist and head of […]
Yesterday, while everyone with anything better to do was watching the Monday Night Football doubleheader and not reading political blogs, the Obama administration sent out OMB Director Jack Lew to explain how Obama plans on paying for Stimulus II: Same ol’ $#!+.

Some of the following is conjecture based on circumstantial evidence, […]
Monday afternoon in Detroit, 20 minutes before President Barack Obama took the stage, Teamsters President James Hoffa exhorted the crowd to “take these [Tea Party] son of a bitches out.” At the ballot box, of course. This martial, some might say “violent” rhetoric, has been a staple of American politics almost since the beginning. People […]
Late last week, The New York Times continued to back off its hit piece on Rep. Darrell Issa (DR-Calif.) as it issued two more corrections to major items in its front-page article. An article on Aug. 15 about Representative Darrell Issa’s business dealings, using erroneous information that Mr. Issa’s family foundation filed with the Internal […]
I need to get me one of these: And, for the record, we’re already two episodes into a new season of Top Gear U.K. Monday’s episode was hilarious.
