CBS News is careful to note that the State Department shut down its unclassified email system to repair “possible” damage from a “suspected” hacker attack, but those suspicions must run pretty deep to justify the measures that were taken: A

The new ISIS snuff film is a little different than their previous offerings, in that they don’t show the marquee murder taking place, but according to the UK Daily Mail, a severed head purportedly belonging to captured aid worker and

In response to Senator Chris Murphy, Jake Tapper and the Unsung Villains of GruberGate: It’s amazing to think we reached the end of the week with a hard blackout imposed on the Gruber story by two major networks, ABC and

You hear a lot of liberal rhetoric from some of the top brass at Google, including open-borders ideology, and then you read stories like this one from Reuters: Google was sued this week by a worker who claimed the company

An amazingly stupid story with a clever Twitter hashtag, #shirtstorm, has been brewing for the past couple of days. Long story short, one of the brilliant scientists who just landed a space probe on a moving comet decided to wear

At first glance, I thought this video from Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) concerned President Obama’s Net Neutrality push. While Senator Cruz has been outspoken about Net Neutrality, in this case he’s warning about dethroned Democrats forcing a different bad idea

Senator Mary Landrieu isn’t the only Democrat looking to stage a little Separation Theater to open daylight between herself and Party leadership. Politico reports she was one of several Senators to stage show votes against keeping Harry Reid as the

The Wall Street Journal wrote about Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu’s ridiculous and pathetic play for votes by reinventing herself as a Keystone XL pipeline hawk – she stopped just short of yelling “DRILL, BABY, DRILL!” – and noted that while

Barack Obama is the most dangerous lame duck ever to haunt the marshes of post-election defeat. He’s angry at the American people, testy with Democrats who blame him for their electoral losses, and more determined that ever to finish “transforming

Want to watch a desperate politician at the end of her rope throw her entire Party under the bus, in a last-ditch effort to hang on to her seat while the breakers of a wave election roll across the shore?

As CBS News in Denver is careful to note, it’s not really fair to refer to the amazingly foolish and corrupt “Lifeline” program – free cell phones for Food Stamp Nation – as “Obamaphones,” because the program existed long before

In response to Dems to double down on Koch Brothers attacks: I’ll take a stab at guessing why Democrats are doubling down on Kochmania, even though they got creamed in the last election, and their Koch obsession makes the party

If memory serves correctly, the first random access storage device I seriously considered purchasing, as a preteen with some odd-job money to fuel his insatiable appetite for high technology, was a floppy disk drive that stored 128K per disk. (Gather

Democrats seem determined to leech all the suspense from the final month of incumbent Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu’s career. Political wonks wanted a dramatic showdown, a little December chaser to the midterm election drama, but instead Democrats are pulling their
