It’s an issue when Republican Presidents are Silent about natural disasters, but not one when a Democrat is silent about “man-caused disasters.” and popular uprisings* against anti-American tyrants

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

Five years ago, there was much bellyaching in the media about how the callousness of the President of the United States for not making a public statement about the tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands, displaced an equal number (if not more) and causes untold damage to property and the landscape, even changing the coastline […]

 

No Church on Christmas, Mr. President? Of Course Not, Communists Don’t Do Church

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Time Magazine reported that President Obama and his family didn’t attend a church service this Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. He is, to my knowledge, the first president to skip a Christmas Eve service for a long, long time. But, while it is interesting to note that Obama is quite unchurched in a position where […]

I bet you didn’t know that presidential vacations are actually interrupted by the news, and having to make decisions and listen to briefings. I know I sure didn’t know that from January 2001 through January 19th, 2009, because the State Run Media never told me. Headline: News Interrupts Obama’s Hawaii Vacation. No, seriously. I’m actually […]

 

Maureen Dowd Vs. John McCain Vs. Right Wing News

Posted on by John Hawkins

While I was away, there was one particular piece that really caught my eye and surprisingly, it was by the most tedious, overrated columnist in America: Maureen Dowd. Ok, you got me — Paul Krugman is actually the most tedious, overrated columnist in America, but Modo is definitely top 5. Anyway, it was a bit […]

 

Old Media Whines That Palin is Mean to Them

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Get the pity party violin music warmed up because Ezra Klein and Dave Weigel are whining that Sarah Palin has forced them, the press, into a “submissive role” because she is so mean to them.

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s brother, William, is warning the Democratic Party that it is going too far left and will end up “in the wilderness” in 2010.

Cuz Animals Are People Too, Ya Know?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I’ve always been amazed at liberals when it comes to their absurd penchant for acting as if animals are somehow just like people. This anthropomorphizing of the animal kingdom is fine if you are talking with kids, reading fairy tales, or creating entertainment, but when you are talking like adults about science or generally about […]

 

The Fire ‘Em All Approach to Voting is Just Silly

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many good, honest conservatives want to fire all of Congress. One of the latest efforts is a website called goooh.com (as in GetOutOfOurHouse.com). Believe me, I understand the feeling. Congress has miserably failed to satisfy the voters. They’ve been arrogant, they’ve spent more time accumulating personal wealth than legislating, they’ve casually ignored the entirety of […]

 

Kwanzaa Created by a Rapist and Torturer?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every year I post a pre-Christmas piece on the farce that is Kwanzaa. This year will be no exception. Note, some of the newspaper articles I quote are several years old so some may no longer be online. Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how […]

 

Professor: Say, Let’s Pardon a Domestic Terrorist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

CUNY Graduate Center professor David S. Reynolds has an idea. He wants to pardon an American criminal that is a known murderer and fanatic and who led a life that was steadily radicalized by an extreme religious ideology. This domestic terrorist even went so far as to attempt to start a war inside the USA […]

 

Cokie Roberts Proves She is a Liar

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I am finding it increasingly impossible to discuss current politics without pointing out that Democrats and liberals are simply a pack of liars and “journalist” Cokie Roberts fits quite neatly into this category for what she said about the healthcare debate on ABC’s This Week Sunday morning talk show. As Brent Baker of Newsbusters reported […]

Obama Says He Gives ‘Better Gifts’? Don’t Ask the Brits About That One

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On yet another appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show, President Barack Obama broke his own arm patting himself on the back telling the talk show maven that he gives better gifts than he gets. As Chicago’s Lynn Sweet reports, “When it comes to gifts, President Obama says he gives ‘nicer stuff that I get,’ an […]

 

Science, Smoking, Healthcare, All Prove Gov’t Can’t be Trusted

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just sit back and let big daddy government show you the way. The Democrat Party is assuring us that they know better because they have science, educated people, doctors, all that “expertise” in their control and further more they “care” about us all and they want us to know that they’d never do anything to […]

 

This Leftist Drivel is Why Journalism is Dying

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Today I have read a piece of “journalism” by a freelance writer whose Slate article shows me why the profession has fallen on such hard times. The piece on fast food drive thru windows is not only pretentious but it is filled with enough fluff to stuff a mattress and leaves the impression that the […]

Obama to Journalists: No Christmas Present For You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is beginning to look like TheOne has just told the lapdog U.S. Old Media that he didn’t get them a Christmas present this year. Politico is reporting that the Obama Administration didn’t invite the average number of newsies to the White House Christmas Party and on top of that, even the ones that did […]

 

Sarah Palin’s So Popular, She Even Brings The Media Out In Droves

Posted on by William Teach

For good or bad, when Sarah is speaking, everyone wants to be there, even the media Sarah Palin’s 11-minute speech before Washington’s Gridiron Club at its Winter Dinne tossed a few barbs at the gathering of journalists, who she compared to “death panels.” “Sometimes you got to trust your instincts, and if you don’t, you […]

 

New Rule of Thumb: History Only Happens in Our Lifetime

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s a new rule of thumb, apparently, that history doesn’t matter. Fall of Rome? Who cares? WWII? What’s it matter? The Great Depression? Just a blip. It’s NOW that we care about, man. All that history stuff? Pffft. If it isn’t happening now, it doesn’t matter. This notion that history is for the stuffed shirts […]

 

A Tale of Two Presidents: How Media Treated Bush’s Unemployment #’s Compared to Obama’s

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It never ceases to amaze me how differently the Old Media treats Republican presidents compared to how they treat Democrat Presidents during times of unemployment reporting. Today, in the vaunted era of Obama, the unemployment numbers for November 2009 have come out and it shows some of the highest unemployment numbers since the Great Depression. […]

 

New Lefty Outrage: Gasp, Sarah Palin Flies in Planes!

Al Gore flies all across the world destroying the environment with his travels so that he can sell the fantasy of globaloney.

Tiger Woods Can’t Win This Game

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Tiger Woods is in the deep rough today. He’s avoiding talking to the police. They’re seeking search warrants for his medical records. This is a disaster of monumental proportions for the golf star.

Global Warming… is Dead. Soon to Follow: Mainstream Media

Posted on by Alex Nobles

“The lack of media attention to this so called “climategate” is unbelievable. I do not even know if we can even call it “climategate”, as nobody seems to acknowledge that it has happened. Of course Fox News has brought it up, as well as numerous talk show hosts but, there has been no trace of […]

 

US Media Ignores Obama’s Muffed Japan Visit

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Japanese media has reported that Obama’s recent state visit to their island nation was a big failure, but the U.S. media is mum on the mess that Team Obama made in Japan. He made multiple diplomatic gaffs and this is quite aside from the absurdly low bow that the incompetent president perpetrated upon greeting […]

 

NPR: The Internet is at Fault for Fort Hood Assassin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

National Public Radio (NPR) has a bit of foolishness penned by Daniel Schorr that really shows how useless NPR really is. In an pristine example of Schorr’s great intellect, he’s decided that the Internet is responsible for Nidal Hasan’s murderous rampage at Fort Hood earlier in the month. Folks, this is the sort of hack, […]
