Late last week, The New York Times continued to back off its hit piece on Rep. Darrell Issa (DR-Calif.) as it issued two more corrections to major items in its front-page article. An article on Aug. 15 about Representative Darrell Issa’s business dealings, using erroneous information that Mr. Issa’s family foundation filed with the Internal […]
Last week, The New York Times went after Rep. Darrell Issa of Vista. The article appears to have been inspired by an “expose” by Lee Fang over at Think Progress. Needless to say, that’s probably not a source a wise reporter for a once-reputable news organization should be using. Read the article and ask yourself […]
Weekly Standard reporter Stephen Hayes cause a bit of a brouhaha this morning with a report that Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who is chairman of the House Budget Committee, is seriously contemplating a run for the White House. After Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels refused to run a couple months back, Ryan (and perhaps N.J. Gov. […]
A complaint that just about everyone has at some point in time is that reporters just get it wrong. Usually this is most obvious when the issue is complicated and the reporter lacks extensive experience on the topic at hand. This appears not to be the case for Kyle Olson over at BigGovernment.com. Olson is […]
If the release of tens of thousands of e-mails from Sarah Palin’s time as governor of Alaska proved one thing, it’s that the purveyors of “serious journalism” are neither “serious” nor really practicing “journalism.” After spending the weekend scouring through them, the only truly notable thing shows Palin has a heart bigger than any of […]
Color me extremely skeptical that anything of substance will come out of today's e-mail dump of Palin's time as Alaska governor. The way the media is handling this is another story altogether. In a best-case scenario, Palin's e-mails affect nothing more than her future as a political candidate. With there being this little issue of […]
It is quickly becoming apparent that the Democrat strategy for victory in 2012 is to demagogue Republicans on Medicare and push the program ever-closer to default through neglect. Don’t believe me? Well, certainly you can trust Bill Clinton—at least when it’s an admission against interest. The big news today was that 40 senate Republicans voted […]
Mitt Romney gave a speech last week defending Romneycare, which was Massachusetts version of Obamacare. Romney’s arguments as to why his statewide healthcare plan was a good idea and Obama’s national healthcare plan is not are nonsensical. Romney’s belief that his healthcare plan worked for the state of Massachusetts is proven false by the facts. […]
President Obama invited former President George W. Bush to join him at Ground Zero on Thursday. Bush declined. This is no surprise. Based upon Obama’s habit of denigrating and insulting those he invites to his speeches (see here and here), Bush was wise not to give Obama another opportunity to prove how classless he is.
Yeah, you know the next line. It looks like the corrupt party has once again outfoxed the stupid party (as Democratic strategist Pat Caddell likes to characterize them) once again up on Capitol Hill. For example, the final cuts in the deal are advertised as $38.5 billion less than was appropriated in 2010, but after […]
