I’m sure there’s some germ of truth in this story, but I can’t figure out exactly where. I’m assuming that the lede is true: The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton’s personal office knew in August that House Republicans … Continue reading →
The revelations about Hillary Clinton’s email system are growing more troubling for the left, and in a way more puzzling. For example, we have this article in The New York Times, which seems to be leading the attacks. The headline … Continue reading →
That’s not my title. It’s the title of a John Cassidy piece that appeared at The New Yorker website. I’ll briefly summarize what Cassidy is saying in his essay: Scott Walker is a bottom-dwelling POS who panders to the worst … Continue reading →
Maybe if these things were talked about again now, Obama’s connections to Communism, Ayers, Wright, and Alinsky would be heard and understood for what they might signify. In 2008 those reports were widely dismissed. The press of course dismissed them, … Continue reading →
In this op-ed, Scott Walker channels Newt Gingrich minus all the nastiness—although Newt wouldn’t really be Newt without the nastiness. Why do I say Walker is being like Gingrich? I remember, back in the 2012 Republican primaries, one of the … Continue reading →

I was surprised to read that Jamelle Bouie of Slate will be happy to see Jon Stewart go. As he himself says, Bouie’s a “liberal, college-educated millennial–the almost prototypical viewer” for Stewart’s show, so why’s he so thrilled (his word, … Continue reading →
…with the concept of first name versus surname. It’s hard, hard I tell you (hint to Times: “Scott” is the first name, “Walker” is the surname): This was not an ordinary article, either, that just lacked an editor’s eye. It … Continue reading →
…then why not Hillary? After all, she told essentially the same lie. Isn’t a presidential candidate more important than a newscaster? Yes, and that’s why her nearly identical lie will be winked at: the Democrats need her (they have no … Continue reading →
First, a disclaimer: I don’t know what caused Brian Williams to lie about his helicopter experience in Iraq, and I don’t know what caused him to continue the lie. The lie was egregious, repeated, and seemingly reckless. Seemingly reckless, because … Continue reading →
