On Sunday, a man with a history of mental illness murdered abortionist George Tiller. The murder was tragic, evil and wrong. His murder was denounced by every major pro-life organization in the country. The media was quick to attack pro-life organizations and those vocally opposed to the culture of abortion-on-demand and late term abortion as […]
For the record: I have no problem with President Obama taking the First Lady to a Broadway show. The White House shouldn't be a prison. However, it's more than a little hypocritical for Obama to call for belt-tightening in these economic times, lambasting companies who provide junkets in Las Vegas and ripping into the Big […]
It's been quite some time since I've watched Bill O'Reilly's show on a regular basis. While I agree with him more often than not, I've been repeatedly frustrated by his failure to do adequate research and his interview of then-candidate Barack Obama was embarrassing. O'Reilly would ask a difficult question of Obama, and then when […]
Emily Gertz is the "journalist" referenced below who suggested that Representatives Michelle Bachmann and John Shimkus commit suicide because they reject her belief that CO2 is a dangerous gas. A similar "experiment" to the one Gertz suggested would be to put a plant in a clear plastic bag and watch it "suffocate due to an […]
Courtesy of James Taranto at "Best of the Web Today," comes this hilarious link by a "journalist" covering the global warming debate. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) (above) on how carbon dioxide is harmless because it's in cola...Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) echoing House colleague Michelle Bachmann's (R-Minn.) recent "harmless gas" routine by saying that CO2 just […]
Sunday's New York Times public editor column defended the paper's decision in the waning weeks of the 2008 presidential election to "cut bait" on a story that would have tied the Obama campaign to illegal (Hoyt's article characterizes it as "impermissible," just in case you wondered where he was coming from) coordination with ACORN. John […]
The Washington Post's Robert J. Samuelson analyzes the Obama budget plan and finds it is a potential economic disaster waiting to happen. Just how much government debt does a president have to endorse before he's labeled "irresponsible"? Well, apparently much more than the massive amounts envisioned by President Obama. The final version of his 2010 […]
I'm feeling it today because The New York Times' Maureen Dowd got caught plagiarizing Talking Points Memo Josh Marshall. Here are the odds on Dowd's punishment: Termination of employment: 1 million to 1 Unpaid suspension of two weeks or more: 500 to 1 Unpaid suspension of less than two weeks: 300 to 1 A "clarification" […]
For the first time in its 14-year history, Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs survey shows a majority of Americans identify themselves as "pro-life." The new results, obtained from Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs survey, represent a significant shift from a year ago, when 50% were pro-choice and 44% pro-life. Prior to now, the highest percentage […]
The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto catches The New York Times editorial page in one of its classic partisan flip-flops. "In its closing months, the Bush administration is pulling out all the stops in its eight-year effort to undermine the Endangered Species Act. In mid-August, the administration proposed two dangerous regulatory changes. One would free […]
