Some days, a DU thread just jumps out at ya like Hobbes going after Calvin (did I just seriously date myself there?) MassDemm – The wheels have fallen off the Hopemobile Even if he manages to eek out a victory this primary season, which is unlikely, because he will be seen as damaged goods and […]

Terry Trippany, writing at NewsBusters, notes that the AP is bending over backwards to clean up the mess of Barack Obama’s long-time close association with Jeremiah Wright, Jr.: The AP Style Guide on Defending Barack Obama For one of many excellent pieces providing some much-needed balance in the coverage, try this: Deconstructing Obama’s Lawyerly Evasions […]

Update: Obama says they attended in spurts: The MSM is reporting on Obama’s STRONG condemnation of his pastor’s controversial, racist, American hating remarks. Sister Toldjah finds the defense laughable. Despite the holes in Obama’s repudiation, such as the fact that he was a member of Wright’s church for twenty years and apparantly never heard one […]

I was just talking to my wife last night about how McCain just might be real change vs Obama’s rhetorical change. McCain has a history of reaching across the aisle and has paid a price for it. I’m trying to think of when Obama actually reached across the aisle and nothing is coming to mind. […]

In the interest of bipartisanship, change, unity, and hope — and because “MoveOn is asking its followers to come up with ‘Obama in 30 seconds’ video ads,” I put together this little video. It went a little long, but it’s the thought that counts, right? PS: The intro voice is Scott Lanter.

Long ago, when I was a mushy headed moderate, I studied conservatism and liberalism to try to figure out what the best philosophy was for my life and for my country. After doing that, I became a conservative because… * I don’t think some politician in Washington who has never held a job outside of […]

Over at Newsbusters, they’ve been focusing on a particular aspect of the Eliot Spitzer scandal since it broke. The results of a study they’ve done won’t surprise any conservatives, but if the mainstream media were really serious about being objective, it would lead to a lot of soul searching at the networks, Study: Networks Always […]

It’s disturbing to see how little confidence our British cousins have in their own culture these days. It has gotten so bad that the Brits are even afraid to take a firm stand against forced marriages, Schools in areas feared to have high rates of forced marriage are refusing to display posters on the issue […]

David Mamet has a frank and amazing essay in The Village Voice about how he ended up going from being a “brain-dead liberal” to a conservative: I wrote a play about politics (November, Barrymore Theater, Broadway, some seats still available). And as part of the “writing process,” as I believe it’s called, I started thinking […]

10) People who say they’re spiritual, but not religious: What does that even mean? That you hope heaven is like a pass/fail class in college and that by saying you’re spiritual, but not religious, you’ll be doing the bare minimum to get in the pearly gates? Does it mean you want the comfort of thinking […]

Some of you may want to criticize Kenneth Thiese from The Berkeley Daily Planet for the excerpt from his work that you’re about to read.

“American public support for the military effort in Iraq has reached a high point unseen since the summer of 2006, a development that promises to reshape the political landscape.

This is undoubtedly, the most bizarre story that I’ve seen in years, Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who stayed in her boyfriend’s bathroom for two years, spending most of her time on the toilet–so that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the man finally called […]

Yesterday, I ran an abortion poll on RWN. The question was as follows, “Is there such a thing as men’s rights when it comes to abortion?” Here’s how it broke out with just over 500 responses, No, the father of the baby should have no say in whether a woman gets an abortion: 8% Yes, […]

“A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth.” — Michael Kinsley Yesterday, Geraldine Ferraro committed a gaffe by telling the truth about Barack Obama. “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He […]

“Saying that Hillary has Executive Branch experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle.” — Jsn, at the Daily Kos Hat tip to The American Princess

There’s a reason that the Left has to keep telling anyone who’ll listen that they support the troops; it’s because they keep doing and saying things that you would expect someone who hated the troops to do. For example, here’s the The Pittsburge Organizing Group, March 19 War Anniversary Protest Evict the military recruitment station, […]
