In Part I of my review of Matt Taibbi’s Rolling Stone article, Tea & Crackers, How Corporate Interests and Republican Insiders Built the Tea Party Monster, I yet again defend the Tea Party against the charge of racism–leveled by one
I happen to like Matt Taibbi’s writing chops. Indeed, were I a member of the left-wing intelligentsia whose definition of journalism is to first come up with a thesis and then go off in search of evidence to support it
When it comes to conservative political satire, there’s probably no more popular practitioner of the form than P.J. O’Rourke. Having overcome his own crazy hippie days in the ’60s, O’Rourke went on to become one of the defining writers of
I don’t know why presidents agree to interviews with Rolling Stone. The mag is biased against presidents and you never come off well. Remember how it treated Bush? Bush Apologizes: The Farewell Interview We Wish He’d Give -W. comes clean
So President Obama was just interviewed in Rolling Stone magazine, that thinning pamphlet for our country’s dwindling supply of pony-tailed pensioners. (AARP skews younger.) When asked about Fox News, this is what our Commander-in-chief had to say. I think Fox
So the new Democrat talking point is: Buck up! Somebody—perhaps Rahm Emanuel in his last masterstroke as Chief of Staff before he leaves to wreak havoc on Chicago—said to himself, “Self! The party is in deep, deep doo-doo, so we’ve
The last thing I was worrying about was that The Other Guys would be too preachy. Sure, Will Ferrell has a long history of deep, thought-provoking critiques of society and culture, so that should have been my big concern. Also
The important issue prompted by the current Rolling Stone article isn’t Gen. McChrystal’s defiance or rank insubordination. It’s the announced deadline for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, an insane move that guarantees defeat, as well as other war-losing moves. Would you
If you have not served in combat, go see Restrepo … and if you have served in combat, go see Restrepo. Every American should watch this gripping film if for no other reason than to allow our collective conscience as

Counterinsurgency – “COIN” – is the military term for nation-building. The media throw it around like loose political change. But it’s useful not only in describing President Obama’s wavering policy in Afghanistan. As General McChrystal’s experience with Rolling Stone proves,
So, in that Rolling Stone piece that brought down General McCrystal, the writer spent three weeks with the troops. What did he find? Trash talk directed at bureaucrats. Yeah, I know. Here’s a fact: if someone followed me around for

The title of the latest blog post from the Washington Post‘s Ombudsman, Andrew Alexander, reads; “Blogger loses job; Post loses standing among conservatives.” Alexander makes an incorrect assumption that the Weigel incident caused the Post to lose standing among conservatives.
On Wednesday night, in an interview with Larry King, the author of what is surely one of the biggest pieces Rolling Stone has ever published revealed his true intentions behind the research and publication of his article. King asked Michael
Michael Hastings, who authored the now-infamous article on Gen. McChrystal, speaks to CNN’s Larry King about the piece.
Shortly after President Obama assumed the Commander-in-Chief duties, he retired the existing commanding general in Afghanistan and hand-picked his successor: General Stanley McChrystal.
