In a typical loud monologue about the Republicans’ insistence on not raising taxes in a recession (before an interview with “firebrand Independent” (i.e. socialist) Senator Bernie Sanders), Ed Sgt. Schultz declared: SCHULTZ: They’ve [Republicans] been on an economic jihad… And he didn’t say, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Isn’t this the network [...]
Here’s something I bet you didn’t know: Every dime the U.S. Government doesn’t take from you, every penny it lets you keep by its good graces, let’s face it, your whole paycheck has to be borrowed from China.

This popular post was originally published December 2, 2010. The media loves any story that has to do with the Palins and sex.

Editor’s Note: This post was first published December 1, 2009. Joy Behar is supposedly a comic. It’s hard to tell, as the only time she’s really funny is unintentionally.

WOW! Take a thief on the run, framed for murders he didn’t commit given a new identity (face and all) by a mysterious benefactor, drop him in a flood and riot-ravaged thoroughly corrupt city, mix in a charismatic black politician being prepared for a messianic entrance on the national stage, a preacher who sees through [...]

With Kathleen Parker getting her own CNN show, David Frum is undoubtedly worried that he will be totally eclipsed among so-called conservatives with Palin Derangement Syndrome. So, in a little 59 word post portentously entitled, “Bigger Problems with Sarah Palin’s new book,” David Frum finds racism—yes, racism—in the following statement: PALIN FROM “AMERICA BY HEART”: [...]
