Obama’s funny business
One thing Barack Obama needs to learn is that, despite his much-vaunted coolness, he’s not a funny man. I noticed this and wrote about it quite some time ago, and now he’s proven it once again at his first post-election … Continue reading →
Then again, there’s women…
…especially uppity women from a certain class. If the results of this election indicate this country has gone a long way towards eradicating anti-black racism—as I believe to be the case—they have proven the opposite to be true about sexism.

The mind reels. I’m beginning to wonder if there is any effort to find truth any more. I’m beginning to wonder if there are any standards involved in being on the editorial board of a major newspaper any more. I’m … Continue reading →
Obama’s campaign and the press: a long history of working hand in hand

Biden’s ignorance about foreign policy is ignored
Michael Totten, who knows a thing or two about Lebanon, calls Joe Biden on his egregious error last night (hat tip: Instapundit), describing it as “the strangest and most ill-informed thing I have ever heard about Lebanon in my life.” … Continue reading →
The “objective” press: it’s bigger than Ifill
By now you probably know that Gwen Ifill, moderator of tonight’s VP debate, has a book coming out right after the election entitled “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.” This means she stands to profit monetarily … Continue reading →
The media: they’re not going to take it anymore!
Remember this? That was a character named Howard Beale in the movie “Network.” And now comes another Howard—Kurtz by name—of the WaPo. He’s pretty mad, too, and he’s not going to take it any more. Who’s Kurtz mad at, and … Continue reading →
Thoughts on the Gibson-Palin interview: the Not-So-Grand Inquisitor
I was constantly distracted by two things: the shockingly choppy editing, and Gibson’s profoundly inquisitorial demeanor. It wasn’t just his game face, and the peering over the eyeglasses (he gave new meaning to the expression “looked down his nose at … Continue reading →
