NY Times: White House Is Still Too White

Posted on by Dave Blount

New York Times harridan Maureen Down stopped dragging her nails down a chalkboard (or was that her voice?) long enough to lay a finger on what the White House is missing. Competence? No. Experience? No. Leadership, patriotism, sanity? No, no, no. The White House under our first Affirmative Action President, a guy who attended a […]

 

Media Matters Dishonestly Spins Anti-Fox Message Over Sherrod Firing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You really have to hand it to Media Matters for America. I mean, they deserve an Olympic Gold Medal for the gymnastics that they evince while spinning the news to the extreme left-wing of the political spectrum. This whole Fox-didn’t-push-Sherrod story is a perfect example. Eric “Boomarwrong” Boehlert is shamelessly spinning the story of the […]

Obama’s Weak Foreign Policy Shows Again

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama once again shows his fecklessness and weakness in foreign policy with a decision by the State Department to allow the Palestinian Mission in Washington D.C. to fly the flag of its non-existent country.

Partisan Hack-In-Chief Whines About GOP Opposition To Disclose Act

Posted on by William Teach

This is getting truly tiresome. In all my years, I have never seen such a thin skinned partisan sitting in the White House, constantly attacking anyone/any group who opposes his viewpoint.

Cojone-less In Chief Strikes Again. Lockerbie Bomber’s ‘Compassionate’ Release Preferable To Obama

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

(cross-posted from NewsReal) Last year when the Lockerbie terrorist, Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, was released, freed to die with compassion — a luxury that his innocent, murdered victims did not have -:  I thought that I was as angry as I could ever be. I must admit that I was wrong. You see, it seems […]

PeBO Admin Finds Out That Dealing With North Korea ‘Taint That Easy

Obama actually had the correct posture early on in his presidency regarding North Korea, which was to ignore the provocations and histrionics of the country and Kim Jong Il.

Cook County Board to Extort Suburban Drivers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just a reminder of how Obama’s Chicago Way-style of politics works…. THIS is where he comes from: Oh, the games Cook County Board President little Todd Stroger plays. And they are always about sticking it to the taxpayers, aren’t they? Stroger and his Democrat co-conspirators have really proven that county Democrats are more like a […]

Friday Awesome: Say Goodbye To Cap And Tax

Posted on by William Teach

At least for this year Senate Democrats pulled the plug on climate legislation Thursday, pushing the issue off into an uncertain future ahead of midterm elections where President Barack Obama’s party is girding for a drubbing. Rather than a long-awaited measure capping greenhouse gases – or even a more limited bill directed only at electric […]

New federal regulations issued by Obama’s administration will require doctors to record their patient’s body mass index (BMI) ratio.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Second place looms large and it is quite an honorable — or maybe onerous — award on our top ten most left-biased working American journalists list.

AEI: More Unions Means Fewer Jobs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In April Lee Ohanian of the American Enterprise Institute published a paper on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) that is a must read. But this month he published a shorter piece that is just as interesting. In it, Ohanian claims that if we increased unionism as the Obamaites want to do, we’d actually lose […]

 

Top Ten most Left-Biased American Journalists – #3: Paul Krugman, The New York Times

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Number three on our list almost violates the criteria that I set up in the first piece I wrote for this series. I said then that denizens of the Old Media that are too much a “cartoon of journalism” would not be included on my list. Yet despite my dismissal of such Old Media clowns, […]

Mr. Do As I Say Not As I Do has some humorous “advice” for federal workers (via Planet Gore) President Barack Obama wants federal workers to cut down on business travel and commuting by car as he seeks to reduce heat-trapping emissions produced by the federal government. The White House was announcing Tuesday […]

 

Obama’s FDR-Like Bait and Switch

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Barack Hussein Obama first became president and the left-wing Old Media universally indulged the claim that he was “just like FDR“? Of late the Old Media has backed off that hyperbolic statement, but at least in a single incident, Obama has proven indeed to be just like FDR. The similarity entails laws about […]

This is how “nurses” act? The kind, gentle folks of the California Nurses Association are seen in this video intimidating, pushing and knocking around some videographers at the union’s recent pro-Democrat rally in California.
