Democrats Vote In Unison

Of course, the Washington Post terms it "Republicans run from partisan voting" Fresh off winning election to the Senate in the fall of 2002, Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) entered the chamber as a staunch conservative, voting with a majority of his GOP colleagues nearly 94 percent of the time in the 108th Congress. In 2005 and […]

Ruben Navarrette: You’re A Bigot If You Are Against Immigration

Hey, I call them like I read them: SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) — On Thursday, senators announced a rather remarkable bipartisan compromise on immigration reform that combines border enforcement, a guest worker program, a path to legalization for illegal immigrants, tougher employer sanctions, and an education/skills-based point system for future immigrants. The same day, the […]

CNN: Let’s Discuss Ron Paul’s “Why Did They Hit Us?”

I really hope Ron Paul is happy with himself, as well as not expecting to actually get the Republican nomination for the general election. He has single handedly opened up the "what did we do to make them hate us?" argument. Witness this commentary by CNN contributor Roland Martin Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani […]

What CNN Thinks Of Our Troops

Waz Jon Carry righting the copi? Can we question their support of the troops yet?

Crap. I Agree With The HuffPo On Brian Williams

Seems as if Brian Williams (who at least has higher ratings then Katie C) has an issue with bloggers (via Dean Barnet at Hugh Hewitt's) "You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now […]

Loose Libs Media Mistakes

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't posted on the whole Imus issue. I've left plenty of comments on other sites, including this fine post by Beth at Blue Star Chronicles. It's been more fun and interesting commenting, then doing research and keeping up with what is going on with Imus, a media person I […]

AP Does Hatchett Piece on Rudy

Obviously, those in the Left leaning media are worried about Rudy getting the Republican nomination, hence: NEW YORK – Rudy Giuliani's White House aspirations are inescapably tied to Sept. 11, 2001 — for better and for worse. While the former mayor of the nation's largest city was widely lionized for his post-9/11 leadership — "Churchillian" […]

LA Times Goes Nutroots

Oh, my. Amazing what passes for journalistic standards these days (h/t Michelle. Woops, picked the wrong post. Meant to be this one) IF YOU HATED IT the first time, you might like the sequel better. Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the right-wing goon squad whose defamatory insinuations helped sink John Kerry's presidential campaign? They're […]

Today’s Iraq News

It starts out with the al-AP telling us we are stoopid for understimating and not thinking about how many civilians have died during Operation Iraqi Freedom. A subtle way to remind us that we as Americans are jerks, occupiers, terrible people, and should pull out right now. Don't worry about the possible full blown civil […]

Michelle Manhart, Air Force SGT Who Posed Nude, Discharge?

I have to wonder what the motives of the USA Today were. Intentionally misleading/lying? Simply clueless? Flame bait? Traffic bait? Their headline reads "Drill sergeant who posed nude discharged." That couldn't be farther from the truth, as the story itself, taken right from the AP, shows An Air Force drill sergeant and former Iowa National […]
