Ezra Klein Trots Out The Left’s Best Argument Against Cross-State Insurance

By best, what is meant is a sad, lame, ridiculous, pathetic, weak, and grasping at straws argument The big Republican idea to bring down health-care costs is to “let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.” Jon Chait has some commentary here, but I want to simplify a little bit. Insurance is currently […]

CBS Loses Loving Feeling, Exposes True Meaning Of Obama’s Bipartisanship Call

As each month of Jimmy Carter’s second term passes (it might actually be an insult to Jimmy Carter to make that comparison), the apparatus of state is losing its hold on the state run media. Much like we saw in the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the media is becoming more independent of the talking […]

Frank Rich Calls The Right Bigots For Failing To Discuss DADT

Remember when Obama called for the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? Remember how it was discussed briefly, then most moved on? Yeah, us folks on the right are bigots because we didn’t discuss it enough, says Frank Rich: Smoke the Bigots Out of the Closet A funny thing happened after Adm. Mike Mullen called […]

White House Press Corps Obviously Didn’t Get The Memo That A Blizzard Is Dangerous

Heck, even the postal service shut down for this monster storm, but, alas, the press corps had to follow Obama around, and are whining about the danger Photographers in the White House press corps experienced two dangerous moments on Saturday while covering President Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Committee’s Winter Meeting. Reporters ventured […]

Obama Has Now Lost Frank Rich And Bob Herbert

At least with Bush 43, we understood that the NY Times editorialists and columnists turned on him simply because he was a Republican. With Barack H. Obama, they have been turning on him because he is an incompetent hack. Starting with Bob Herbert How loud do the alarms have to get? There is an economic […]

If Paul Krugman Has Turned On Obama….

Things are not sunshine and unicorn poots in Liberal World right now. Many are trying to spin the loss of Teddy’s bourbon covered seat in all sorts of ways that minimize the damage (just a little hint, Lefties, you also lost the NJ and Va. governor seats for the same reasons you lost in Mass.), […]

How Did The Cable News Channels Deal With Coakley And Brown Speeches?

Something I noticed last night regarding Scott Brown’s victory speech. I knew Fox News carried it all, but, every time I flipped to CNN it seemed to be in commercial, including his closing, and MSNBC had the video, but the audio was some lunatic hack who used to be pretty good as a sports news […]

What Liberal Media Bias? Boston Globe Endorses Coakley, “Since She’s A Democrat, Like Us”

It apparently means little to the editorial board at the Boston Globe that Martha Coakley has dissed Fenway Park fans (a story their own paper featured. Yesterday), stood idly by while one of her campaign peeps assaulted a reporter, and was turned into a dirty mop during the last debate with Scott Brown. Interestingly, the […]

LA Times Spins Hard For Harry Reid

You know what is to blame for Harry Reid’s comment, which, had he had an “R” next to his name, would have had the media calling for him to resign from the Senate? Read on and see Harry Reid doesn’t owe me an apology. Sure, it was a little odd to see the term “Negro” […]

Climate Alarmists Trotting Out “Experts” To Prop Up Their Failed Science In View Of Gripping Cold

There couldn’t possibly be some collusion going on, could there? MSNBC: Experts: Despite cold snap, earth still warming. Scientists not connecting recent blast of cold weather to climate change ABC News: Experts: Cold Snap Doesn’t Disprove Global Warming. Climate experts say the extreme cold around the world doesn’t disprove global warming The Telegraph: Cold weather […]
