Holy Freaking Crap: Time Magazine’s GOP 2012 Chart Omits Herman Cain!

Da Tech Guy points out that Time magazine’s resident political “expert” Mark Halperin has a chart giving odds on candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, a chart that completely omits the hands-down winner of the first debate in South Carolina. Halperin also omits Rick Santorum and gives thousand-to-one odds against Michelle Bachmann — and Bachmann, whatever the […]

Obama Lies About Unemployment

Just flat-out makes up “facts” during a town-hall meeting on the economy in D.C. hosted by CBS News: “The reason the unemployment rate is still as high as it is, in part, is because there have been huge layoffs of government workers at the federal level, at the state level, at the local level . […]

Congratulations, Ed Schultz!

MSNBC’s angry gasbag has been awarded “Quote of the Year” in the annual Dishonor Awards, in which the Media Research Center recognizes the very worst in liberal media bias: “The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse! They kind of like it when that woman has […]

VIDEO: Charlie Crist Helps Sarah Rumpf (Finally) Get Her 15 Minutes of Fame

How could someone with the Twitter handle “Rumpfshaker” not be famous? I don’t know, but she toiled in semi-obscurity until she captured this video of former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist hustling business for ambulance-chasers: “Have you destroyed your Republican political career by embracing Barack Obama’s policies? Call Charlie Crist now!” So the video went viral, […]

VIDEO: Michael Moore Tells Americans How to Be Good Americans — Like Him!

Question: If it weren’t for the fact that it plays 24/7 in airport waiting areas, would anyone ever watch CNN? Not me. Sometimes I switch over to MSNBC for kicks, but I never watch CNN. So anyway, Piers Morgan had Michael Moore on Thursday night, so that he could give the rest of America (or […]

Bin Laden Dead; Liberal Media Sick

The contradictory impulses stirred by the death of Osama bin Laden have sent the Left and their media friends stumbling into absurdity. Do you remember how we were told that the election of President Obama would restore U.S. international prestige and make the world love us? Tell that to the Pakistanis: A senior Pakistani intelligence […]

It’s Kinda Hard to ‘Work the Refs’ When the Refs Are Playing for the Other Team

One of my habits is re-reading good books. Any book worth reading is worth re-reading, and there are some books that I have read multiple times, including William Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, and P.J. O’Rourke’s Parliament of Whores. Another habit, picked up during […]

St. Lawrence the Sanctimonious

Since taking over the 8 p.m. spot vacated by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell has mounted an extraordinary effort to achieve what many would consider an impossible goal: Being more absurdly self-righteous than Olbermann. Tuesday night, O’Donnell may have reached that mark by asserting that John Kerry was the gold standard in national security […]
