Hey, Obama’s Running for Re-Election!

I’m sure you’re shocked to learn that Barack Obama has decided he wants to be president another four years. What may be most shocking about it is this Obama campaign ad without Obama: Ed Morrissey noticed the obvious problem: The Obama 2012 team released its first web ad this morning, but other than a couple […]

If Your Faith Is Feeling Deflated

by Smitty A lot of the budget news from places like CA, WI, IL, &c has been really bad of late. Texas offers a good palate cleanser, via the Tatler: Tonight’s final vote on House Bill 1 tells us House leaders got the message taxpayers have been sending: live within our means! But taxpayers must […]

Conor Friedersdorf: Now Turning the Atlantic into Media Matters Lite?

When Andrew Sullivan jumped ship to The Daily Beast, Conor Friedersdorf stayed behind at the Atlantic, where today he devotes some 1,800 words to Why Rush Limbaugh Is Wrong About Libya. A few sample Conorisms: His commentary has misled his audience, his prejudices have helped to distract the conservative movement from the stance it ought […]

T-Paw: It’s Going To Take A New Pres.

Obama’s NCAA Bracket, Revisited

Tonight, UConn meets the Cinderella boys of Butler in the NCAA basketball championship and, with the finalists set, I decided to take a look back at Obama’s brackets. The first thing to note is how “safe” Obama played it: He picked all four No. 1 regional seeds to make it all the way to the […]

Charlie Sheen Fails To Retain Stacy McCain As A Creative Consultant, With Predictable Results

by Smitty Lots of other blogs are reporting the disaster, but the title hit me when I saw Another Black Conservative. Emphasis mine: One of the big underpinnings behind Sheen being entertaining is the fact that the man was having a meltdown. For whatever reason, we all love to watch those who reached the top […]

Cleanup Crew To Lindsay Graham’s Office. Or: With Senators Like That, Who Needs The Constitution?

by Smitty (via IowaHawk on Twitter) Blogprof has the clip: Mark Steyn is truly the human chainsaw of sarcasm, but his wrecking of Lindsay Graham is a wonder: I have no expectations of Harry Reid or the New York Times, but I have nothing but total contempt for the wretched buffoon Graham. A mob of […]

Your Daily Libyan Rebels Update

Let me just start by noting that “Libyan Rebels” would be a great name for a punk-rock band. When last we checked in on the half-assed insurgency, the ill-armed and undisciplined rebels had made a 200-mile retreat to the vicinity of Brega. Now the BCC reports: Rebels pushed towards Brega on Monday in an attempt […]
