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 [...]

How Will The Baucus Bill Affect Us? »

My well meaning, but decidedly Obot, sister sent me an article from alternet.org recently written by a lesbian mother detailing the additional financial difficulties we face when we are on our partner’s health care coverage (“Unbelievable: As A Lesbian Mother, I Have To Pay More For Health Care“). Well, I can appreciate her alarm, but [...]

Go, Hillary, Go! Fighting for Women and Girls Worldwide »

Christian Science Monitor’s article today, The Potential In Hillary Clinton’s Global Campaign For Women tells us “no other Secretary of State has so focused on women’s rights.

“Tens of Thousands” »

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 – 2 [...]

By The Numbers »

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey – she’s on HI time – she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. Check out [...]

Oh, Charlie… »

When I heard this story, I simply could not get over the incredible hypocrisy. This is not the first time Rangel has been in trouble over taxes, but he has stepped WAY over the bounds, a case made in this article, Sorry, Charlie: Rep. Rangel must step aside as chairman of the House Ways and [...]

Well, Isn’t This A Nice Change? »

I have thought what I would write about after my post on my beloved Sweetie (and I have been out of town helping to get my mom’s new Assisted Living unit set up for her this weekend). Honestly, I didn’t want to go off on anything or anyone today. Fortunately, thanks to NQ artist, Pat [...]

A Different Take On Secretary Clinton’s Africa Trip »

Faithful NQ reader, CG, mentioned recently that the Washington Post actually did a very nice article on Secretary Clinton’s recent trip to Africa. Well, you coulda knocked me over with a feather.

Milbank And Cillizza Video Series Canned »

Hatred Rears Its Ugly Head »

You may have seen this report of Gay youth who were murdered in Tel Aviv: The spontaneous march in response, the solidarity evident, brought tears to my eyes.

WaPo Now Admits to “Salon” Scandal (Guess It’s No Longer Just a Misundertanding) »

Last week, we reported about an ethics scandal brewing at the WaPo, wherein lots of backpedaling, minimizing and all around denials were the order of the day. All can be read here. Hat tip to Ed Morrissey and HotAir for closely monitoring these developments. Now, thanks to Ombudsman Andrew Alexander, today’s article in WaPo, A [...]
