Last week, I interviewed David Freddoso about his new book, The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our phone conversation. Enjoy! …You did an appearance in Chicago and bizarrely, Barack Obama had his supporters call in to jam […]

“Our nation faces an economic challenge today equal to any challenge we have previously faced and now requires our full attention. The following snapshot of our economy should impress upon everyone the seriousness of the job ahead. The national debt currently stands at over $9.58 trillion, the largest in World history. This year’s deficit, in […]

Dick Morris can be a little hit or miss with his political advice, but his latest words of wisdom for the Republicans in Congress in general and John McCain in particular should be heeded, During Friday’s debate, John McCain assiduously and inexplicably avoided using the issue that might have won him the debate and the […]

Glenn Reynolds didn’t love the McCain performance at the debate, but finds folks who think the old man did great. His conclusion: You should never trust my judgment of these things, as I remember thinking that Carter won the Carter-Reagan debates. But Obama clearly won the post-debate spin, anyway. Well, is there anything — anything? […]

This is a preview of the final bill that they’ve worded on this weekend. This is from a Republican source (email) showing a comparison of the previous two bills and the final bill as they wish to present it. Obviously there may be more: Issue Paulson Plan Frank-Dodd Final Bill $ 700B with no strings. […]

Ah, now this is my kind of article. Western Chauvinist tooted her own horn over at Gerard’s place when he linked to us, and I’m glad she did. To the sidebar she goes. It’s a little difficult to tease this posting the way she’s structured it; I’ll do my best… Is Modern Liberalism Gene Roddenberry’s […]

Documented, but not surprising: A description of the video: A Pro-McCain march on the Upper West Side in Manhattan on Sunday, September 21, 2008. A group of McCain-Palin supporters dare to march through the Upper West Side – infidels in the liberal Mecca. Local “progressives” boo, jeer, and flip fingers at them with a rage […]

“Already, Bear Stearns was awarded a $29 billion bailout, followed quickly by the bailout of Freddie and Fannie that will cost the taxpayers up to $200 billion. Then the Fed announced the bailout of AIG to the tune of $85 billion. Moreover, the Feds agreed to pump $180 billion into global money markets. And the […]

If Obama Wins The 2008 Election, I Will Stay in bed for 3 days Go see a psychiatrist for P.E.S.T., and ask for a prescription for Prozac Become plain insane and unhinged Cry, scream, shout, and call for massive investigations of voter fraud, claiming Barry stole the election, and never move on for at least […]

A triple shot of weird from the New York Times. Let’s start with “Obama has many ties to Fannie Mae, AIG, Lobbyists, and Domestic Terrorists.” Huh? Oh, sorry: McCain and Team Have Many Ties to Gambling Industry Senator John McCain was on a roll. In a room reserved for high-stakes gamblers at the Foxwoods Resort […]

If you’re like me, the second the debate ended, you got on your computer to check whether the consensus in the blogosphere jived with your own impressions of the first Presidential debate. I discovered that the general consensus (from both liberal and conservative bloggers) was that McCain scored on points. He held his own on […]

McCain’s rapid response team struck the iron while it was hot last night by putting out an ad almost immediately attacking Obama. And there’s already a second one. Last night, Obama tried to defend the fact that he voted to cut funding for our troops, and McCain slams him on it. He even uses Obama’s […]

Crossposted from Stop the ACLU He jabbed all night long, just in case you were wondering. By the way, did anyone else notice how many times Obama said that McCain was right? The McCain camp noticed…. There were at least five other times Obama started off with the phrase that McCain was right on an […]

Everybody is talking about this poll from CNN declaring victory for Obama’s debate performance last night with an article titled “Round 1 in debates goes to Obama, poll says.” Noah Pollak reads the fine print of the article and takes a few notes from deeper down into the specifics. Buried way, way down at the […]

Hint: it wasn’t Republicans. Not surprising, considering that the top five recipients of campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie were — shockah — Democrats! 17 out of the 25 top recipients were Democrats. No wonder they weren’t willing to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It would’ve killed their cash cows. And, surprise surprise, look […]

Earlier this year, Obama said he’d slash funding for “unproved” missile defense systems. At last night’s debate when he wanted to look hawkish, he said he was for them. When he’s campaigning somewhere like Seattle, Berkeley, or New York, will he be against them again? Here’s the video comparison: Flip-flopping you can believe in. Hat […]

Matthew Sheffield, Newsbusters. In recent memory, every presidential debate eventually distills down into a few catchphrases. Al Gore became known for his sighs and love of lockboxes. John Kerry actually served in Vietnam. Dan Quayle was no Jack Kennedy. Barack Obama has a bracelet, too. That inartful comeback will likely filter out through the political […]

The wackjobs at PETA have asked Ben & Jerry’s ice cream founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield to stop using cow’s milk in their ice cream, and start using human breast milk instead. Is it just me, or does the thought of eating ice cream made from human breast milk make your stomach churn? Here’s […]

Shocking news this morning. After a long battle with cancer, actor Paul Newman has died at 83: Paul Newman, the legendary actor whose steely blue eyes, good-humored charm and advocacy of worthy causes made him one of the most renowned figures in American arts, has died of cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. He […]

Last night I watched the debate with some like-minded friends at a small debate party. There was beer, there were elephant-shaped cookies. A good time was had by all. Please take a moment to vote for the best/most memorable line of the night below. Each of the above lines is featured in one or more […]

This whole “bailout” thing — the actual money it’s going to cost is, is only a portion of the real damage, and it’s a minority portion. The real crippling payment for it comes out of the purse of our thinking. This is the price we really can’t afford. We can’t have bipartisanship in the United […]

By the time the “show trial” against Mark Steyn and Maclean’s began on June 2, 2008 the case had become a cause celebre in the formidable U.S. conservative media network of blogs and talk radio. Four heavyweight pundits — Jonah Goldberg, Robert Spencer, David Harsanyi and Pat Buchanan — rebuked the censors of “Soviet Canuckistan” […]

First off, Jim Lehrer did an absolutely magnificent job as a debate moderator. He was fair, he asked good questions, and he pressed both guys when they didn’t answer questions. Loved him! The debate started off on the bailout and the economy and I gotta say: McCain was just AWFUL for the 15 minutes or […]

This may come as a surprise, but it looks like there are some decent conservative candidates running for office this year in the very blue state of New Jersey. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting my interviews with a few of them. For those who live in liberal states or communities, these individuals […]
