Missing the point

The Washington Post has a report on the cover of today's paper that offers an incomplete and cursory analysis of Sen. Barack Obama's online fund-raising. Concerns about anonymous donations seeping into the campaign began to surface last month, mainly on conservative blogs. Some bloggers described their own attempts to display the flaws in Obama's fundraising […]

Are they this insane?

Last week some House Democrats held a hearing on a plan that would do away with 401(k) plans and replace them with what I'll call Social Security v2. A plan by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, contains elements that are being considered. She testified […]

It's not always in how they cover it

Media bias is not always in how newspapers or the major TV networks cover an issue. Sometimes it is the choice whether or not to cover a story in the first place. The latest case in point is Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.). Mahoney replaced disgraced GOP congressman Mark Foley who had sent inappropriate text messages […]

Buying the election

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign raised $150 million last month. By the time the last check clears and the campaign goes into slumber mode until the next election (should he win), Obama will have spent more money than George W. Bush and John Kerry spent in 2004 combined. How this is supposed to "save" public financing […]

NBC, MSNBC lie

I posted earlier today on Sen. Joe Biden's comments that Barack Obama would face a manufactured crisis and screw it up. NBC and MSNBC have decided to report on the incident -- and they're using a completely different statement by Biden. They're juxtaposing a line Biden said at some other time about Obama having "steel […]

Karl Rove's mind control

Sen. Joe "Six term" Biden was talking at a fund-raising event in Seattle last weekend when the evil Karl Rove used his powerful mind control ray to get Biden to predict doom and gloom -- if he and Barack Obama are elected. "Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of […]

Obamas Social Security Plan

Courtesy of Greg Mankiw comes this bit of news from Sen. Barack Obamas campaign: Obama is confident that we can come together to find a workable solution. He believes that one strong option to improve Social Security's long-term solvency is asking people who earn more than $250,000 to pay a little more into the system. […]

Spreading the wealth

I had last night's debate playing on my computer screen while I was destroying cars on my Xbox 360 playing "Burnout: Paradise City." Word is that Sen. Barack Obama has purchased ads in a variety of video games, and I'm kinda hoping that I get to destroy some Obama-themed cars. The winner in last night's […]

Murtha's mouth

Congressman Jack Murtha, last seen funneling tax dollars to his supporters and slandering Marines, has now revealed that Obama may have a tough time winning Pennsylvania -- because Murtha's constituents are racist. "There's no question Western Pennsylvania is a racist area," said Mr. Murtha, whose district stretches from Johnstown to Washington County. "The older population […]

Obama's Abortion Extremism

Robert George has an excellent article on Obama that reinforces the fact that Obama isn't just "pro-choice," he's "pro-abortion." According to the standard argument for the distinction between these labels, nobody is pro-abortion. Everybody would prefer a world without abortions. After all, what woman would deliberately get pregnant just to have an abortion? But given […]
