Today, President Obama threatened senior citizens, veterans and people with disabilities by saying that he cannot guarantee their checks with go out on August 3rd if a debt deal is not reached.

Learning that Jonathan Alter (nee of Newsweek) had written a “glowing” article about Secretary Hillary Clinton for Vanity Fair entitled Woman of the World, I became suspicious. This was, after all, one of the media bullies who demanded Hillary drop out of the 2008 race for the presidential nomination in mid February to preserve her [...]

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

It is odd that progressives and conservatives alike are so preoccupied with Donald Trump’s potential run for the Presidency while simultaneously averring from the depths of their collective beings that he would have no merit as a candidate. Whether he would make a good or horrible president is not the point — not at this [...]

Better late than never? I think not, baby puppy. It is April, 2011 and ex-Wisconsin Senator and favorite principled liberal Russ Feingold finally noticed a conflict of interest with having GE’s CEO Jeffrey Immelt as head of the President’s advisory council on job creation. Ya think? According to CBS and The Hill: Former Sen. Russ [...]

Actress Kirstie Alley has famously struggled with her weight for years. As a current contestant on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, exercising her way back to better shape, she received quite a reception the other night.

In a scathing review of Tina Brown’s re-launch of Newsweek, Slate’s editor-at-large Jack Shafer betrayed himself as another in a long list of journalists and pundits who find women bring little of use to the table.
