Last Monday, I predicted, based on two op-ed pieces decrying the Senate's filibuster, that the New York Times editorial page would soon follow with an editorial attacking the GOP for using the filibuster. Today, the Times, proved me right. And if there was any question on whether the Times is partisan or principled, they answered […]

When asked by Pastor Rick Warren "at what point does a baby get human rights?" Then-candidate Barack Obama responded that the question was "above his pay grade." Today, Obama increased his pay grade, stating that human embryos are definitely before the point at which a baby gets human rights -- or even a modicum of […]

Now that we have a Democrat in the White House, we won't have to worry about the media manufacturing embarrassing images of the President having fun while people in the armed forces are dying. That's certainly one of the reasons why President George W. Bush gave up golf after the War in Iraq started. It […]

There's a new paper out that is pouring some cold water on the climate change alarmists. I'll try to explain this in layman's terms, because the science can be difficult even if you do follow it rather closely. Carbon dioxide -- manmade or otherwise -- is a miniscule gas in the atmosphere, even growing as […]

I'm pointing out this article from FactCheck.org on the oft-repeated claim that someone declares bankruptcy on on average every 30 seconds due to medical bills. Earlier tonight, columnist Mark Shields repeated the number -- characterizing it as 120 people every hour -- on the NewsHour. Last year, someone filed for bankruptcy roughly every 30 seconds, […]

With the market continuing to tank, The New York Times Company doesn't look half bad when compared to most other media companies. E.W. Scripps just closed down the Rocky Mountain News last week. Of course, the hated News Corp. of Rupert Murdoch does a bit better. For those interested, some Rocky staffers have started their […]

President Barack Obama has created a Middle-Class Task Force -- that has no one from the middle class on it. Of course, the job probably doesn't pay anything, so only the rich would be able to free up time to talk about how bad off all you poor schmucks are. Last Friday, Vice President Joe […]

Economist Greg Mankiw proposes a bet with New York Times columnist/hack Paul Krugman. Team Obama says that real GDP in 2013 will be 15.6 percent above real GDP in 2008. (That number comes from compounding their predicted growth rates for these five years.) So, Paul, are you willing to wager that the economy will meet […]

Do you remember the Democrat conspiracy theory that said Republicans wanted to cut taxes to "starve" government (aka starving the beast) and eventually get rid of all social programs due to a lack of money? Is it possible that President Barack Obama and the Democrats are trying to destroy the stock market in order to […]

A recent issue of National Review listed the top 25 "conservative" movies of the past 25 years. Number one on the list was "The Lives of Others," a German-language film that won the Oscar in 2006 for Best Foreign Film. I hadn't seen the film, and probably wouldn't have if it hadn't received such high […]
