AP Asks Cheney’s Doctors if They Stopped Beating Their Wives Yet

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like Jerry Seinfeld, the Associated Press did a masterful job of making a story out of nothing this weekend after news broke that former Vice President Dick Cheney was the recipient of a heart transplant. In fact, APs first paragraph is one of those masterful bits of psychological manipulation along the lines of the old […]

 

The Tea Party vs The Status Quo

Posted on by Michael Fell

Much has been said since the November 2010 election about “establishment Republicans” co-opting Senators and Representatives elected with Tea Party support. What “establishment Republicans” evidently refuse to accept is, every Republicans elected in November 2010 owes huge thanks to the Tea Party. “Establishment Republicans” need to understand that Tea Party grassroots activists have had enough […]

 

Obama’s YouTube Hack-U-Mentary Censors Most Negative Feedback

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently it’s all sweetness and light, unicorns and fuzzy bunnies in the YouTube comments section of Obama’s new hagiographic, hack-u-mentary short film directed by Academy Award-winning director David “star-struck” Guggenheim. Barely a cross word is seen there about the Obammessiah since most negative comments seem likely to have been deleted from the YouTube page leaving […]

Hosannas. Obama has finally cut some federal spending. But noting which agency he shut down is sort of emblematic of his whole welfare/big government-pushing presidency.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What Now Passes as Today’s “News”

Posted on by Michael Fell

Monday March 12, 2012…Today’s “news” begins with the headline: The Most Aired Political Campaign Ads. A sub-headline reads: Obama’s “Unprecedented” commercial was shown 6,190 times before Super Tuesday. At first, by mentioning campaign ads from multiple candidacies, this article flirts with the idea of integrity. A flirtation which disappointingly dissolves in the face of the […]

CPUC: When a Consumer Advocate Isn’t

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Worst President Ever: Obama’s Intimidation Tactics Continue

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his campaign apparatus have been filling the minds of possible campaign donors with calumnies and untruths about the left’s newest, favorite whipping boys: the Koch brothers.

“progressive” Reporting on Scott Walker’s Recall Election

Jeremy Lin, the famed nouveau New York Knicks basketball icon, must be about tired of this foolishness at this point.
