Long before Obamacare became the law of the land, many opponents – including myself – had made the point that President Obama’s oft-repeated claim that “if you like the insurance you have, you can keep it,” was a promise he had no power to keep. With Obamacare’s mandates and changes in funding mechanisms, it is […]
Most blog readers (left and right) are probably familiar with undercover journalist/provocateur James O'Keefe. He's the guy who captured video of ACORN employees all too eager to help a pimp and a prostitute set up a house of ill repute -- such ill repute that it also involved sex-trafficking of underage girls. The story was […]
It’s been said that familiarity breeds contempt. This is certainly true of how many on the left perceive Christianity – and conversely Islam. From “comedienne” Rosie O’Donnell’s famous statement that “radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam” to the tarring of the entire pro-life religious movement as dangerous because one nut goes and […]
New York Times columnist Charles Blow, last seen complaining that racial diversity on the right is nothing more than a “minstrel show,” has been given access to a computer once again to publish this doozy. Thankfully, you don’t have to read to the end for the punchline. He gets right to the point. Racist. Tea […]
Seriously, I do. I did less to earn my Pulitzer than President Barack Obama did to win his Nobel Peace Prize. Obama got his award for not being George W. Bush. I got my Pulitzer for being on the staff of the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2006 when “the staff” of the U-T won for […]
Andrew Breitbart has offered $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund if anyone can provide evidence that Tea Party protesters screamed the N-word at a few members of the Congressional Black Caucus as they walked from the Cannon office building to the Capitol on the day they voted to pass health care reform. No one […]
The so-called dean of the Washington commentariat is still blissfully doing backstrokes in the tank filled with Obama Kool-Aid. We are beginning to learn that the Obama presidency will be an era of substantial but deferred accomplishments — perhaps always to be accompanied by a sense of continuing crisis. His vaunted "cool" allows him to […]
Nope. I’ve decided it’s going after the quote from Mediaite: From: Griffin, Phil (NBC Universal) Sent: Wed 4/07/10 11:16 PM Sorry, but this is a business and I need team players. He [David Shuster] was not moral, ethical or professional and that is not fair to the 500 people who work at msnbc. Thanks for […]
A couple months back, Editor & Publisher magazine – often referred to as the bible of the newspaper industry – was shut down. (It has since re-opened under new management.) The two top men at the magazine have now found other employment. Greg Mitchell is now in the employ of The Nation. Joe Strupp is […]
Politifact.com, which is routinely an object of scorn here, has this interesting bit in its latest mailbag feature. There are the e-mailers who criticize us generally for perceived liberal bias. (For the record, we are an independent, nonpartisan journalism organization.) For the record, I’m often mistaken for Brad Pitt and have women throwing themselves at […]
