The government health care debate may be stalled in Washington, but it’s up and at ’em in Madison. We were arguing about it just this week: specifically, whether or not to extend government benefits to more childless adults. Yes, that’s right. We in Wisconsin provide government-run, taxpayer-subsidized health care to childless adults — leaving no […]

My NEW Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND! Check out FREE audio and video highlights from this week in conservative talk radio: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Hugh Hewitt and more. PLUS local media types assess the impact talk radio had on Scott Brown’s victory. What came in after my deadline: Rush Limbaugh’s […]

The main story’s at the Huntsville Times, “University of Alabama in Huntsville Biology Professor in Custody Regarding Deadly Shooting at Faculty Meeting.” But AOSHQ has a report, “Three Dead at University of Alabama at Huntsville as Woman Denied Tenure Opens Fire.” And FWIW, here’s this from Professor Bishop’s RateMyProfessors page: Neuroscience essentially turns into a […]

I wrote yesterday about the “black ‘copter tea party” meme, which is the latest MSM/netroots initiative to discredit and marginalize the tea party movement. In the wake of Scott Brown’s election in Massachusetts (where grassroots activists and tea party tweeps helped propel Brown’s campaign to victory) you might have noticed the ratcheted effort on the […]

This piece at Media Matters is a good representation of the current state of Palin Derangement Syndrome. But Sarah Palin’s prospects look brighter than ever, from where I’m sitting, and to that effect, Ronald Brownstein pretty much nails it in his piece this morning, “Palin’s Beer-Track Populism“: As a potential general election candidate in 2012, […]

To start the debate off, let’s look at the stupid, which, unshockingly, comes from Russ Belville at the Huffington Post. Russ is a National Organization for the Reform Of Marijuana Laws, as well as the host of the NORML Show Live. And, yes, his picture at the HuffPuff Post does look exactly like the stereotypical […]

WASHINGTON–A Democratic official says Rep. Patrick Kennedy has decided not to seek re-election for his seat representing Rhode Island in the U.S. Congress. Good grief. The rats are deserting the sinking ship. Who thought there would come a day when there wouldn’t be a Kennedy at the Capitol? It’s ironic that this time last year […]

For those of you who don’t know, Debra Medina is a candidate for Texas Governor, and has had the support of many in the Tea Party movement. I just heard Debra Medina on the Glenn Beck radio show, and she really messed up badly. Glenn Beck said that people had accused her of being a […]

Here is yet another deciphering of the magic of Sarah Palin. This time it’s by Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic, who at least doesn’t try to personally smear her as so many others do. Liberals and media elites keep writing and writing about her, trying to understand her appeal. They are amusing to read because […]
