Last night, Jon Stewart, who I view as honorable, joined the chorus of people criticizing the justified-as-much-as-something-can-be-justified raid by the Israelis on the flotilla carrying “aid” to Gaza, the home of Hamas. First, he referred to the people involved in the shipment as “activists” and then showed video of some of the ship’s contents—the non-violent [...]

More abortion doctors have been murdered on ‘Law & Order’ than in real life
May 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Does anybody really care that Law & Order is finally going off the air after 21 years? I don’t sense the pangs of nostalgia that usually accompany such an announcement. News that Mary Tyler Moore, Cheers or M*A*S*H were going dark prompted lots of Essays About The Show’s Enormous Cultural Impact. Law & Order? Not [...]
The Company the Pauls Keep

Ron & Rand Paul will be the first to tell you how much they revere George Washington, how they’re the Last Politicians In America ™ who are faithfully carrying out his ideas. But there’s one lesson the Father of our Country took to heart growing up that the Pauls somehow missed:
Associate yourself with Men of [...]
GOP Dominating Dems in Online Media Usage
April 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The party of “pale & stale” no more! Okay. Maybe it’s still pale.
According to a report released yesterday by House Minority Leader John Boehner, the GOP is “dominating” Democrats in online media use. If you detect a caveat is on the way, then bully for you: The truth is, Democratic websites outnumber Republicans by 3:2. [...]
Alterman on “Climate Change”: You are Too Stupid to Understand
April 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
After his years of association with MSNBC, following tenure at Rolling Stone & Mother Jones, it should come as no surprise that Eric Alterman would tweet and ostensibly believe this:
stupid people are defining what people know about global warming http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2010/04/ta040810.html
and thank God that we have professional progressives like Alterman and his pals at Media Matters [...]
Rove on Leno: More Evidence That The Worm Has Turned…
March 31, 2010 By 1 Comment
I’m beginning to see some new and encouraging signs that the public is getting hip to the truth about President Barack Obama and his real agenda for America. An interesting one occurred Monday night when Karl Rove appeared on The Tonight Show.
Rove freely spoke his mind about ObamaCare, and each time the audience responded with [...]
Oops! Media Forgot to Cover Left-wing Anti-Semitism

Oh darn. Well, it’s not as important as Sarah Palin’s Facebook page anyway.
Shortly before the controversial Tea Party rally in Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight, Nevada there was a nationally organized anti-war rally on March 20th to mark the 7 year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. It took place in cities across the country [...]

Anti-Coulter protest outside University of Ottawa
The Grope & Flail Globe & Mail considers itself Canada’s New York Times (which they still think is a good thing for some reason). However, to mangle Pauline Kael’s line about Nixon voters, nobody I know actually reads it.
Today someone emailed me a new column about Ann Coulter’s visit to [...]
Sean Hannity Calls Obama the S-Word
March 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment
“What’s in a name? That which we call a socialist
By any other name would smell as putrid.”
The above mangling of Romeo & Juliet was called to mind by a new CNSNews.com interview with Sean Hannity, in anticipation of the release of his new book, Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama’s Radical Agenda, next week. The conservative star [...]
Kucinich Confirms That Today’s Obamacare Is Only The Beginning
March 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who flipped his vote from “no” to “yes” after his ride with President Obama on Air Force One, just admitted on Fox & Friends what we suspected all along. If the current version of Obamacare passes – as it looks increasingly likely that it will – an even more radical Obamacare II [...]
