Sorry for the pun, but I can't get my arms around how in-the-tank you have to be to write this drivel: "May I change the subject," said a prominent Washington theologian at a recent dinner. The conversation had been high-minded -- religion, philosophy, the nature of evil. "I'd like to talk about Michelle Obama's arms," […]
I've been bashing Politifact.com lately because I think it deserves it. I've been critical of South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham in the past, but he's right on this one: The Geneva Convention did not apply, until 2005, to the war on terror. Now, he's off by a year -- it should be 2006. However, […]
Earlier this month I noted that the Associated Press' "Fact Check" feature was more critical of President Barack Obama than Politifact.com's when it came to whether or not the increased cigarette tax violated Obama's pledge not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. On Obama's 100th day, the AP came out with another […]
This is funny: Dear Mr. Olbermann, While General Electric, the parent-company of your MSNBC network, was negotiating a $126 billion taxpayer-funded bailout, you signed a new contract raising your salary from $4 million to $7.5 million annually. You have used your show as a platform to call for the resignation of corporate executives accepting excessive […]
On ABC News' "This Week," host George Stephanopoulos interviewed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and demonstrated appalling incompetence. STEPHANOPOULOS: President Obama says that's exactly what he wants right now. He says he wants a new beginning in a relationship with Iran. He sent a message to the Iranian people on the occasion of the Nowruz holiday […]
UPDATE! This post has been updated! First off, Norah O'Donnell is a moron. Evidence: Second, the Democratic machine in Washington State successfully stole the 2004 gubernatorial election there from Republican Dino Rossi. The state has settled intrepid blogger/citizen Stefan Sharkansky's public records lawsuit for $250,000. The lawsuit stemmed from my December 2004 request for a […]
CNN's Bill Schneider suggests that Barack Obama is the "superpresident." He comes to this conclusion after noting: According to Gallup polling examining past presidents' job approval, that's similar to where the last six elected presidents stood after 100 days. Only Ronald Reagan got a slightly higher rating (67 percent). Bill Clinton and the first President […]
Charles Krauthammer's latest column on what you old people can expect in your later years: rationing of health care. Pressure on the Presses -- the Wall Street Journal's helpful graphic on the decline and fall of the newspaper industry.
I've mentioned before that Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site Politifact.com isn't as unbiased as they would have you believe -- they're just not as far to the left as, say, The New York Times. Late last month, Politifact.com determined the House GOP conference was telling a "Pants on fire" lie about President Barack Obama's cap-and-trade proposal's […]
Last week, more than 500,000 people nationwide attended "tea parties" to protest not only taxes, but the Obama administration's out-of-control spending spree. In reporting on this event, various "journalists" on MSNBC and CNN became vulgarians -- referring to the protests as "teabagging". For those unfamiliar with the term, it is an oral sex reference. Once […]
