It’s been a pretty remarkable week, news-wise and media-wise, and to say the two are related would be an understatement. We’ve seen the lid finally blow off the long-simmering Al Gore sex scandal, which certainly serves to explain the otherwise
This whole debate about government stimulus versus austerity, and the impact of these policies on economic growth, misses a key point: It is business, not government, that creates jobs. The economic power of business is the missing link in the
Ron Brynaert has a story over at his The Raw Story blog that reveals yet another denizen of the Old Media trying to be both a “journalist” and an operative of Barack Obama’s administration. She is Patricia McGinnis, an unpaid
The death of Senator Robert Byrd on Monday has upended the administration’s cap and trade offensive, as observers of West Virginia politics suspect his yet-to-be-named interim successor will defer to the state’s pro-coal politics on pending climate legislation. Byrd, whose

Transport Workers Union boss John Conley says that he will deny airline employees the opportunity to vote on their own destiny. Sandra Baker of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram wrote: “We are now at an impasse with AMR [American Airlines],” said

The Left is far more organized than you might imagine, but a little investigation can turn up some fascinating examples of how they coordinate with front groups and the media to advance their policies. Consider this New York Times editorial.
For years, liberals in Washington have tirelessly thwarted America from tapping its domestic sources of energy, while hypocritically lamenting our “addiction to foreign oil.” They have forsworn abundant energy supplies just off our coasts and erected boundaries against drilling and
We’ve theorized previously that there may be a smoking gun tying the connection between President Obama and ousted-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich: That smoking gun being the Service Employees International Union. Well, the smell of gunpowder is filling the Illinois courtroom
In December 2008, a few days after Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested, I discovered this photograph in a newsletter published by the State of Illinois on November 12 celebrating the election of Barack Obama: The photo was posted along

Complaint_1 – It’s the stuff thrillers are made of: our old friends the Soviets are back, this time calling themselves Russians, but up to their same old tricks: infiltrating the United States with “illegals” — sleeper agents who can pass
Late last week, at the 11th hour, the Senate removed an amendment that would have required the inspector general of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to investigate the corrupt ShoreBank bailout, as well as every other bailout since January 2009.
In the first (and still best) “Austin Powers” film, a United Nations representative makes a faux pas and calls the film’s villain “Mr. Evil.” “It’s Dr. Evil,” he huffs. “I didn’t spend six years in Evil Medical School to be

One really can’t satirize this kind of “journalism.” All one can do is point out its awfulness, its neglect, its illiteracy, its ignorance. It is the kind of “journalism” the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission must have
We’ve blown it once again, another great opportunity to win the biggest sporting event on the planet and America comes away empty handed in the World Cup. I thought this was our year. The world was supposed to love us.
