You've just got to shake your head at this sort of "reporting" by the Associated Press' Beth Fouhy on the Iowa caucuses. Hattie Irving, an 81-year old Iowan, has never participated in her state's presidential caucuses, but she plans to this time - to support Hillary Rodham Clinton. "I was very impressed with her as […]
The Congressional Black Caucus today petitioned Gov. Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana to commute the sentence of an African-American thug because he beat up a white kid. If you've relied on television and mainstream media reports to inform your knowledge of the so-called Jena 6, then you might suspect me of coloring (no pun intended) my […]
Sen. Hillary Clinton has her "holiday" advertisement out -- and it should come as no surprise that she's using your money to buy her "gifts."

On the comparatively rare occasion that a conservative of some sort is invited to speak on a college campus, leftists of various stripes come out not just to protest, but to silence the opposition. They take over the stage with yelling, shouting and the occasional assault in an effort to maintain the ideological purity of […]
Character, wisdom, experience, judgment, these are all issues that Barack Obama is going to have to assure the Democratic primary voters about -- and, if he manages to halt the inevitability that is Hillary Clinton -- the American public at large. He may not survive such scrutiny if author Bruce Bawer -- who describes himself […]
Actor Sean Penn has endorsed flying-saucer boy. On a somewhat related note, the story notes Penn's next film will be "Milk," -- not the kind that does a body good. Penn is slated to star in the Gus Van Sant movie "Milk," the biography of the San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk who, along with Mayor […]
John Hawkins over at Right Wing News has compiled his Top 10 Daily Kos quotes for 2007. It's a strong showing, but I have faith that some creative Kossack can come up with something more odious in the final month of the year. If you follow the link, you've been given fair warning. These people […]
