Sen. Ted Kennedy was also awarded the Medal of Freedom today. Unfortunately, Kennedy himself could not make it because of complications from the brain tumor he is suffering from. Mary Jo Kopechne did not get a Medal of Freedom and could not be reached for comment.
Yesterday, Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri held a town hall event. Unfortunately, Rep. Carnahan didn’t really want to hear what the public had to say. Instead of opening the front doors to let those waiting to attend in, they snuck SEIU union members in the side door in a successful move to stack the […]
The dumbest thing the news media does on a regular basis is failing to identify corrupt Democrats in news stories.

If there's one thing you can say about New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, it's that you know what to expect and you get it. The word is "predictable." In the past two weeks there have been three horrific murders. First, there was the murder of abortionist George Tiller at his church. A day later […]
The excreble Al Sharpton on Somali pirates: Voluntary Coast Guard? And the Democrats take this man seriously.
