The Wall Street Journal editorial page has no idea what the hell it is even talking about:
Just when you thought someone might be confirmed in Washington without a partisan fight, Senate Democrats are suggesting they may not approve Michael Mukasey as Attorney General after all. The judge’s offense is that he’s declined to declare “illegal” […]
Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends, 10/26/07:
KILMEADE: Do you know something? Not one US military, uh, member of the military was killed in Iraq for the first time since 2004 this past week… almost no one’s talking about it… In Iraq, there were no casualties in the al Anbar province last week or in Iraq, […]
GOP Sen Lindsey Graham (SC), who moonlights as a military lawyer, says that he’s troubled by Mukassey’s refusal to categorize waterboarding as torture.
A very serious clip from last night’s very serious debate.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have come to the conclusion that John Tanner, the (rich, white) man in charge of making sure that minority voters aren’t disenfranchised, is in fact a racist dimwit who has never faced any type of discrimination in his life.
As evidence, I present exhibit one. The DoJ’s John Tanner tries to explain […]
Funny how these patterns form, isn’t it?
Have you seen [Alan Colmes]?
Fox viewers tuning into the show he co-hosts, along with Sean Hannity, sure haven’t. At least, that is, when GOP presidential candidates go on Hannity & Colmes. Tonight, it’s Mitt Romney’s turn to do the show. But, as […]
Well deserved: Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Giuliani needs to apologize, stat:
“This is the world we live in. It’s not this happy, romantic-like world where we’ll negotiate with this one, or we’ll negotiate with that one and there will be no preconditions, and we’ll invite (Iranian President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad to the White House, we’ll invite Osama (bin Laden) to the White House,” […]
Today’s quote of the day goes to White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, who said, in arguing that global warming is a good thing:
“It is true that many people die from cold-related deaths every winter. And there are studies that say that climate change in certain areas of the world would help those individuals.”
The conservative Telegraph (UK) brands Blackwater the 98th most influential conservative in the US.
There’s been a firestorm over the the booking by the Obama campaign of Donnie McClurkin, an anti-gay preacher and musician on a campaign-sponsored gospel tour in South Carolina (he was asked about it during the MTV candidate dialog earlier today– see the above video). The tour is now over.
McClurkin has also performed at the Democratic […]

Okay, so NBC and Fox have partered together and made a spin-off called hulu.com, which has full episodes of dozens of popular past and present shows in an ad-supported streaming-flash format.
It’s currently in private beta and specific details are kind of hush hush, but that’s no fun so I’m going to tell you […]
The above is a video of Noam Chomsky answering a question about these stupid 9/11 conspiracy theories (hat tip- Onegoodmove). I pretty much agree with Chomsky’s point of view on this, that these conspiracy theories are often based on junk science and serve only as red herrings or distractions which detrimentally preoccupy the left. Here’s […]
So apparently one of the FEMA’s top PR people who orchestrated and participated in the phony briefing last Tuesday was (coincidentally) up for a promotion to become the DNI’s spokesman. Apparently nobody thought that the minor issue of perpetrating a fraud on the media and the public was important enough to re-examine whether or not […]
Former NYT reporter Kurt Eichenwald, who broke perhaps the biggest child porn story in history has quit his job and is now in emotional shambles
