CNN can’t count, but is that really a surprise?
This clip fails to answer the burning question of whether those who work for the MSM are abysmally stupid or whether they are unashamedly in the tank for Obama and think we are abysmally stupid. Actually, it does. It’s the … Continue reading →
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 →

The Times says no equal time for McCain: his op-ed’s not the news that’s fit to print
Obama’s recent op-ed piece in the NY Times was pretty easy to skewer. And yet somehow the Times found it good enough to print. But the schoolmarms at the Grey Lady have rejected McCain’s return offering on the subject, saying … Continue reading →
On bringing a pen to a gunfight
Ralph Peters knows that in any battle between a mere pen and a ruthless sword, the sword will win, despite the proverb to the contrary: Billions of words have been hurled at Sudan’s government. The misery in Darfur not only … Continue reading →
The WaPo isn’t pleased with Obama today
I commented earlier, here and here, on the reasonableness of certain recent articles and editorials in the WaPo. Looks like it’s a real trend, because today the editors have published an editorial on Obama’s campaign financing reversal that contains not … Continue reading →

It seems clear that the Michelle Obama “whitey” tape is merely an urban rumor and does not exist, except in the fevered minds and wishful thinking of some who oppose Obama. But even if it were found to be based … Continue reading →
