Who’s Trying to Control Hillary Now? »

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 [...]

Not Hot? Then You Don’t Count! — How Slate.com Misses the Bar on Newsweek’s Relaunch »

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. While I have had reason to fault Newsweek in the past for their biased coverage negating qualified female political [...]

“Scurrilous” »

That is the word Dr. Charles Krauthammer used to describe the attempt by the left to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for the horrible tragedy in Tucson, an action carried out by a mad man. It seems rather an appropriate term, not just for their unfounded claims, but for some of the claims [...]

On Bowing, Competence and a Need for Real Leadership »

*This importance treatise on the Obama presidency has been bumped up * During the presidential campaign, Peggy Noonan rhapsodized about an Obama presidency, trashing Hillary Clinton to the bargain.

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” [...]

“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.

Truth or Consequences: Big Media Pays for its Addiction to Obama’s Cult of Personality »

In Newsweek, Howard Fineman opines about The Limits of Charisma. When sycophants like Fineman say “Mr. President, please stay off TV” and are worried enough to warn the President that it’s time to fish or cut bait, we are all in hot water. My fellow writers and I have posted many stories these last two [...]

I knew Newsweak would piss me off with the year ender »

It is after all my treasure trove of crap. The New Global Elite This week is the year end, double issue featuring the most powerful people in the world. They call them The Global Elite.

Center Right America and Disappointed Progressives? »

I hope Barack Obama sends a nice Christmas or Kwanzaa present to George W. Bush. Without the debacle of the Bush Administration Barack would not have had a shot at winning the White House.

O bombs »

How glorious. Glow Fading? A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama‘s glow may be fading.
