Aging singer Linda Ronstadt has gotten a lot of press lately for last weekend's performance in Las Vegas. Ronstadt's apparently scripted dedication of love and devotion for the propagandist Michael Moore caused a ruckus at the Aladdin which reportedly prompted concertgoers to dump drinks, rip down posters, boo and demand refunds. Well, it appears she […]
The Federal Trade Commission has treated MoveOn.org and Common Cause's petition (which I mentioned earlier this week) with the consideration it deserves. From Commission Chairman Timothy J. Muris: I am not aware of any instance in which the Federal Trade Commission has investigated the slogan of a news organization. There is no way to evaluate this […]

Smash went undercover up at last weekend's commie A.N.S.W.E.R. protest up in Los Angeles. His report is amusing and scary. Smash also spotted San Diego's own commie-redhead who threatened to fight a guy twice his size -- he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Fortunately for them, these wackos are ignored by the vast […]
No surprise here, but hate-filled, talentless, wacko Ted Rall thinks he's god. Mr. Rall defended the "crispy brown" comment and said it was made "to get people to understand that the right is attempting to canonize this guy, and it is ridiculous.

Slate's one-trick pony, Jacob Weisberg, author of their "Bushisms" feature has stuck his foot in it again.
