Has The Kool Aide Started To Wear Off? »

* Bumped Up *
For some folks at MSNBC? Seems like it, given this recent departure. Craig Crawford, an MSNBC mainstay, has quit the network, even leaving before his contract was out. Wait until you read why that is in this article, MSNBC Political Analyst Craig Crawford Has Left the Network – [...]

American Idol »

There’s a special genre of publication that caters exclusively to excitable, starstruck young women. “Tiger Beat”, “Bop” and “16″ are fluffy magazines tailored to satisfy the swoony dreams of adolescents as they fantasize about the teen idol de jour.
The packaging of a fantasy is an art in and of itself cleverly crafted by publicists, ambitious [...]

Missing The Point Of “Game Change” »

I first became aware of the book that is making waves, Game Change, when a part of it appearing in NY Magazine was referenced by faithful No Quarter reader, Mountainaires, in terms of Elizabeth Edwards. Basically, the authors, Heilemann and Halperin, dispel the myth of “St. Elizabeth.” What an eye-opener this excerpt was, [...]

Rahm Emanuel And The Chicago Way »

* Bumped up from January 7, 2010. *
I love John Kass of the Chicago Tribune. He is one of the very, very few columnists who tried to warn us about Obama, Obama’s record (or lack thereof), how he came to be a Senator, and all about Chicago Politics. Simply put, he was a [...]

The Assassination Attempt Not Heard Around The World »

You may have heard recently about the Somali man who broke into Durch cartoonist, Kurt Westergaard, to kill him for his depiction of Mohammad in one of his cartoons. Fortunately, he was arrested, and is being charged with attempted murder.
What you may NOT have heard was the connection between this same man and Hillary Clinton:
The [...]

Now That Is Some Kind Of Generous Gift »

Just in time for the holidays, Emperor Obama gave a gift the length and breadth of which would warm the cockles of your heart – if you happened to be one of the recipients. Because what he gave is something most people cannot afford in this economy for themselves, but guess what? You [...]

Palin v. Obama »

* BUMPED UP *
Oh, this is good. You have probably have heard now that Obama’s approval numbers are down to 47%, but what you haven’t been hearing so much about are whose numbers are up. This headline pretty much says it all, Shocker Polls: That Sarah Palin-Barack Obama Gap Melts To 1 Point. [...]

things people should remember when defending amanda knox »

1. There are two Italians currently sitting in jail, accused of the same murder, of an English woman. This isn’t anti-Americanism.

The Church Of Obama Is Losing Members »

^ ^ ^ Bumped up ^ ^ ^
This is perfect Sunday fare, and rich coming from someone who routinely appeared with Keith Olbermann on Countdown (until they broke up back in August last year). That would be Dana Milbank. Oh, yes, this is priceless:
Obama The Mortal
Some parishioners in the Church of Obama discovered [...]

“News”week’s Sexism Is Showing On Its Cover »

Have you seen this “News”Week cover? Never mind the title of the article, excuse me, the EDITORIAL, that goes along with the cover:

Holy smokes. Needless to say, there has been a LOT of discussion about this photograph, and why Newsweek would choose to run this particular photo. Taylor Marsh – former Clinton [...]

Secretary Clinton On The Job – Updated »

(Bumped up from November 7th.)
The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

“What If Bush Had Done That?” »

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges.
Turns out I am not the only one who [...]

If You Control The Message, You Control It All »

Thus proclaims the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Of course, many of us actually knew this already, or strongly suspected that was the case. How nice to have someone in Obama’s administration, someone pretty high up,confirm it:
President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating [...]

Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

Okay, I admit it – I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to be honest. [...]

I Am So Sick Of Obama… **OPEN THREAD** »

I tried to write something about Obama after his 263rd speech last Wednesday evening – not making up that number – but I just couldn’t. I am sick to death of him already. I am sick of seeing his face on the cover of my newspaper, on the cover of just about every [...]
