About That “AGW Is Causing A 1 1/2 Inch Sea Rise” Talking Point

Apparently, the Talking Points went out in the last day or so, perhaps in an attempt to deflect attention away from the CRU emails and documents Since the 1997 international accord to fight global warming, climate change has worsened and accelerated — beyond some of the grimmest of warnings made back then. So, what the […]

NY Times Discovers That MSNBC Is Full Of Lefty Partisan Hacks

Well, really, I don’t blame them that much for taking so long. Why should anyone who works at the Grey Lady watch the network? No one else does: MSNBC Presses Obama on Campaign Promises If President Obama happened to glance at “The Rachel Maddow Show” last Monday, he might have winced. And Maddow would have […]

President Neophyte Gets Snippy Over Afghanistan Questioning

I suppose when you are used to the press treating you like you are a barely teenaged Disney TV star, you get a bit snippy when they ask you tough questions President Barack Obama made no effort to conceal his irritation when his press corps used the first question of his maiden Far East trip […]

How Can One Write About The 20th Anniversary Of The Fall Of The Berlin Wall And Not Mention Reagan?

The 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has become a rather big deal over the last few days, with lots of people chiming in in the media. They all seem to be forgetting one thing: it would not have happened, at least certainly not that early, if it wasn’t for Reagan’s brilliant […]

Fish Wrap Proclaims Ft. Hood Not A Terrorist Attack, Move Along

Good thing we have the New York Times to tell us these things After two days of inquiry into the mass shooting at Fort Hood, investigators have tentatively concluded that it was not part of a terrorist plot. Rather, they have come to believe that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused in the […]

In Ft. Hood Shootings, Grey Lady Tries On The “It’s The Army’s Fault” Theory

It’s just a trial balloon, appearing on page A17 of today’s fish wrap, but, the Times does go to great lengths to blame the Army. They also do a great job in saying Muslims are cute and fuzzy, so, the War on Terrorism, sorry, Operation Domestic Contingency, must be our fault: Muslims at Fort Voice […]

Is The NY Times Painting A Picture Of Corzine, Or Obama?

The Fish Wrap Of Record is still spinning away at why Corzine lost New Jersey, one of the Bluest of Blue states, trying to blame it on Corzine’s short-comings and it having nothing to do with Obama, despite Barry’s numerous visits to the state, but, inadverdently makes an interesting point: Unlucky and Aloof, Corzine Fell […]

Grey Lady Notices Dem Health Plans Could Harm Americans

Back when Operation Iraqi Freedom was a big deal to the media such as the New York Times, especially the body counts and reports of a boot trooper doing something he shouldn’t have done, one used to be able to find stories of good news in the Saturday edition. I had a theory that none […]

Ouch. Reuters Calls Barry The “Campaigner In Chief”

They haven’t quite noticed the Neverending Campaign, but….. U.S. President Barack Obama threw himself into the role of “campaigner in chief” on Wednesday, making appeals for Democratic candidates in two state governor races that some see as a referendum on his performance in the White House. Obama was to travel to New Jersey for a […]

Washington Post Forgets Who Some Of The Huge Polanski Supporters Are

It’s not often that someone on the Right actually agrees with Glenn Greenwald, but, in this case, I have to say that he is dead on Post editors should read their own columnists The Washington Post Editorial Page today lashes out at “Roman Polanski’s apologists,” a group it says is “typified by the comments of Swiss filmmaker […]
