ObamaCare Lie = ‘Incorrect Promise’

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) “I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the […]

Obama and the New York Times Decide Which Health Plans Are Worth Keeping

Be grateful for enlightenment from Our Moral Superiors: Congressional Republicans have stoked consumer fears and confusion with charges that the health care reform law is causing insurers to cancel existing policies and will force many people to pay substantially higher premiums next year for coverage they don’t want. That, they say, violates President Obama’s pledge […]

A New York Times Columnist Even Worse Than David Brooks and Paul Krugman?

As impossible as it may seem, apparently it is true: The New York Times earlier this month announced “an important expansion” of its opinion offerings, adding more than two dozen new contributors from around the world slated to write monthly columns. Among them is Egyptian best-selling author Alaa Al-Aswany, quoted frequently in the English-language media […]

As they neared their destination, the police pulled the van over, […]

Maybe CUNY Could Hire Vladimir Putin

That student mob harassing David Petraeus would certainly have no problem with being lectured by the Russian president: My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on […]

They Should Print It in Red Ink

Sooner or later you run out of other people’s money: After purchasing the Boston Globe in 1993 for a then-record $1.1 billion, the financially troubled New York Times just announced that it sold the 141-year-old paper to Boston Red Sox owner John Henry for a mere $70 million.

Mediocrity Celebrated, Greatness Ignored

And douchebags insufficiently denounced: Liberal bias is not a matter of unfairness, but rather a matter of dishonesty — deliberately ignoring some facts, and misrepresenting other facts, in order to misinform the public by portraying to them a politically falsified view of events and personalities. If there were ever any honest person employed by the  New […]
