It’s a little on the vulgar side, but “Saturday Night Live” went after President Obama again over the weekend. If you’ll recall, a month ago SNL attacked the president for failing to really accomplish anything – something that was so outrageous that CNN spent 10 minutes fact-checking the video. While it’s unlikely that there’s anyone […]
Following up on Attorney General Eric Holder’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday comes this bit of stupid from chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy: If the U.S. captures Osama bin Laden, there's no need to interrogate him, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of that committee, […]
Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday to defend his decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other 9/11 plotters in federal civilian court. He didn’t do a good job. Two bits of the transcript: SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM, (R-S.C): Can you give me a case in United States history […]
Earlier this year there was a bit of a hubbub after President Barack Obama bowed to the Saudi king at the G-20 summit. At the time, I was inclined to initially let the mistake slide because of Obama’s inexperience and only posted about it because the White House insisted that what I could see with […]
Earlier this morning, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he would be bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other co-conspirators to New York to stand trial in civilian court for the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. To say this decision is stupid gives it far too much credit. I give you former […]
You gotta love this: Democratic Rep. Barney Frank took a dig Friday at the Republican lawmaker who organized a protest by conservatives against health care legislation. Frank, a Massachusetts liberal, told an audience: "Some of the people (at the rally) that wanted to engage me in conversation appeared to have been the losers in the […]
The California gubernatorial race should be an interesting one next year. It appears that Republicans will have at least three good nominees to choose from in Tom Campbell, Meg Whitman and Chuck DeVore. What will the Democrats offer to voters? Jerry “Gov. Moonbeam” Brown. Yesterday, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom dropped out of the race, […]
Former Democrat vice presidential nominee and presidential hopeful John Edwards and his wife want to extend their 15 minutes of fame. Despite John Edwards' extramarital affair that rocked his marriage, his wife described their union as a "love story," albeit an unconventional one. Elizabeth Edwards told WJLA-TV in Washington late last week that she wants […]
After spending 15 years in the newspaper business, I can assure you that I’m familiar with obscene profits. Back in the days before Craigslist came along to decimate their lucrative classified ad sales, newspapers commonly turned 30-40 percent profit margins – and my meager paychecks were proof of that. So, when Democrats demonize the health […]
The head of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Romer, made a rather stunning statement today. The government's economic stimulus spending has already had its biggest impact and probably won't contribute to significant growth next year, a top White House adviser said Thursday. Christina Romer, the chair of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic […]
