What is the Constitutionality of a Newspaper Bailout? That was the question recently posed by Jeff Bercovici of Conde Nast’s Portfolio.com. This issue has come to the fore because various members of Congress are currently considering such an action.
Without even commenting as to any possible First Amendment breach by virtue of [...]

A computer program that tells the White House where you have been on the Internet, RADICAL!

If you really want to get the feel of a Klan rally you should don a [...]

What in the hell? MSNBC is advertising about its coverage of Inauguration Day, saying:
In the nation’s capitol, on the brink of history, the hour approaches …
If January 20th marks the “brink of history,” what have we been living in so far? And won’t the Visigoths, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians be just a [...]

Jonathan Martin of Politico reports that the Pennsylvania GOP is running the following
ad in the Key Stone state. Martin writes:
McCain has refused to invoke Wright or allow his campaign to use the pastor in ads. A senior campaign aide said they knew nothing about the Pennsylvania party’s ad in advance. Officials with the state party [...]

I’ve always been a fan of British humor and the October 31st Times Online review of Obama’s infomercial, written by Chris Ayers is a perfect example of that dry British wit. The title and subtitle set it up perfectly:

DONATION CLARIFICATION–Folks, we have had an influx of donations to NoQuarter today. It is much appreciated but I finally started asking some of the contributors and they want the money to go to GOPTrust. Because I am incorporated, I cannot forward the money to GOPTrust, because they do not accept corporate money. [...]

The day after THE ONE tries to bypass media (sorta) and go “directly to the people,” and there is surprisingly little written yet. It’s an interesting situation. An infomercial buy like this one is nearly unprecedented (except for Ross Perot, but he had cool charts), so it’s hard to decide if it was [...]

Here are my notes from the McCain/Palin conference call that ended moments ago. Rick Davis, McCain’s Campaign Manager, said the following:
Watch for an unprecedented velocity of McCain TV ads this final week
Obama was spending $40 million a week during housing crisis, he’s now to normal levels
They will be spending $10 million more than Obama on [...]

Here’s the latest TV ad from this highly dynamic, go-get-’em PAC that is firing up TV ads and raising money in a whirlwind of energy:

Tonight Senator Obama starred in his own prime time special, about Senator Obama. Is it me or is Obama passé? I find his voice — artificially deep to project gravitas — to be just as grating as George W. Bush’s faux-Texas accent.
Obama the brand is wearing thin. He has his own hand sign, his own [...]

Created by the conservative group “Let Freedom Ring,” this one-minute ad just aired during prime time in the swing state where I live. I think it’s very effective.

In the latest round of economic obscenities from Barack Obama, his campaign is reported to be spending a record $230 million on television advertising, including Wednesday prime-time commercials on CBS, NBC and Fox.
The three 30-minute ads or infomercials cost Obama nearly $1 million each. This is the first time mark the [...]

The disaster of the Bush Administration and the tarnished legacy of the Republican Congress would normally spell doom for the Republicans in the November election. But then you learn that the Democratic Congress is held in lower esteem than even the Bush Administration. I agree that the trend lines for McCain do not [...]

Update from SusanUnPC: “Anonymous H,” one of our readers, has offered to “match up to $500 if NQ posters can provide receipt of a donation to the Denver Group.” Bud White, who collaborates regularly with Medusa, would be the best person to send your receipt to, as well as me. So please send validation [...]

Yes, that Hillary. You know, the one who inspired millions of us to support her in this recent primary. We were successful, too - in any other country, she would now be the nominee.
But not in the United-Obama-Rezko-Ayers-Wright-Odinga 57 States of America!
Nope - in this country, at least one party [...]

“Guilt By Participation”
Writes Politico about this ad:
The Republican Party on Monday morning will make a new push to convince voters that distant ties between Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and former radical William Ayers are somehow disqualifying for the presidency.
The Republican National Committee plans to e-mail “an audience of tens of millions” the link to a [...]

Already using the Main Stream Media as his own personal PRAVDA for free propaganda, Barack Obama has decided to buy half-hour prime time TV slots in order to bring The Glorious Comrade into the living rooms of America for longer, more controlled periods of time.
I don’t suppose we will hear the Chicago Thug talk about [...]

Another day, another pitiful ad from the McCain campaign. This ad is a 30 second spot.
Here’s a clue Johnny Boy, look at at these ads from Right Change. If you want to win, and I am not sure you do, those are the types of ads that you need to run, not the above [...]
