The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard.  Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

A Message To The Media From Sarah Palin »

Well, the MSM is at it again – jumping on the slightest little blip by anyone but Obama. We saw this time and time again with Hillary Clinton, especially when she exaggerated her flight into Bosnia. Oh, the media was like a dog with a big ol’ juicy bone – they just could not, WOULD [...]

Rioters Hijack Middle Class March – ACORN? »

The riot organizers in London on Wednesday were NOT students. If you see the name ACORN International surface as the force behind this “community organized” hijacking, you should not be surprised. First. In Great Britain the phrase Middle Class is near equivalent to the phrase Upper Class in the U.S. A spokeswoman for the student [...]

What Change Has Wrought »

Many of us who refrained from drinking the Kool-Aid or smoking the Hopium pipe have commented on all of the “changes” we have gotten under Obama. You know, the high unemployment, rampant foreclosures, runaway debt, deficit spending, and broken promise after broken promise. But there is one other “change” that has reared its ugly head [...]

On the Relative Wisdom of Insulting People You Want to Vote for You »

* Bumped Up * With the mid-term elections five weeks away, it’s desperation time. President Obama scolds voters for “apathy,” and for “not being serious in the first place,” VP Biden tells them to “stop whining,” and Senator John Kerry pronounces voters ill-informed on the issues, i.e. stupid. One has to wonder if that is [...]

JournoList Members Protected Obama In 2008 »

/ Bumped up / We knew this was happening – we knew that many in the MSM were protecting Obama, were refusing to vet him, to investigate allegations against him, or those with whom he was very close, like Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But here’s the thing. A number of these journalists (and academics), including from [...]

“Changing Tune”? No, Changing Semantics »

The NY Times had an article recently entitled, “Changing Stance, Administration Now Defends Insurance Mandate as a Tax.” Why the hell is this news? Had they or any other water-carriers in the MSM actually done their jobs when this bill, now a law, came out, they would have KNOWN this already. Those of us who [...]

Pelosi, Reid and Congress Thrown Under the Bus? »

In their article Pelosi Vents About Gibbs, Politico writers Jonathan Allen and John Bresnahan shared that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi bashed White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Tuesday night, even as the president’s top spokesman continued to backpedal from his assertion that Democrats could lose control of the House in the November election. “How could [...]

Obama Playing Politics With Borders, Gulf Spill, and KSM »

Recently, Sec. Hillary Clinton made news by telling an Ecuadorean reporter that, sure enough, Obama plans to sue Arizona over its new law. Huh. That was news to Gov. Brewer. Nice way for her to find out for sure. But it begs the question, why. Why is Obama suing Arizona over its new law for [...]

Chris Matthews Admits “The President Scares Me,” James Carville Laments Obama’s “Lackadaisical” Response and Kevin Costner to the Rescue on the BP Oil Spill »

The Huffington Post, of all places, carried two surprising news items critical of The One. The first as reported by Danny Shea tells us Chris Matthews… The MSNBC anchor, once so enamored with Barack Obama that he admitted a campaign speech sent a thrill up his leg, has now told Jay Leno that Obama scares [...]

“The Tea Party Is Not A Legitimate Movement” »

So claims Gov. Ed Rendell of PA. Yes, the governor thinks that it really is not a movement to be taken seriously, or that will have much of an impact, in the upcoming elections. I used to really like Ed Rendell, especially when he was such a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton. But since he [...]

“Are You Threatening Me?” »

If you mean the White House and some unions, the answer would be a resounding, YES! W.H., Labor To Vote-Switchers: We Won’t Forget. You may recall that I wrote about this very real possibility recently in, “Toddler in Chief Throws A Temper Tantrum,” based on a story from The Telegraph (U.K.). Now, it seems, not [...]

The FOX Factor »

Every now and then there are moments in the American media that defy description. Nevertheless they must be addressed. Case in point: Washington Post “media critic” Howard Kurtz’s article today about FOX News Channel’s “reporters’” growing discomfort with the shenanigans of FNC darling Glenn Beck, he of the mighty chalkboard of insanity, his ludicrous fits [...]

Do You Hear Us Now?? *Updated x2* »

* Bumped up (Amy discusses Lynn de Rothschild’s article, one of the hottest stories circulating on the ‘net) * Well, it’s official: Scott Brown won the US Senate seat in Massachusetts, easily one of the most liberal states in the Union. Brown’s win is the first by a Republican in that state since 1972. Holy [...]

Palin vs. Clinton – Sean Hannity’s Lies About Hillary »

Last night, Hannity of FOX News had two female panelists, both conservatives, discussing Sarah Palin’s new book, her great success selling 300,000 copies the first day and the derangement syndrome of the left in trashing her and calling her “dangerous.” Obama’s campaign arm, Organizing for America, is looking to raise $500,000 to combat this “dangerous” [...]
