While the mainstream media continues to cover important stories about the “racist” Tea Party, the need to tax the ultra-rich, or Michelle Obama’s recent shopping spree at Target, details of Fast and Furious continue to effervesce below the surface. And

Forbes Magazine is a most respected resource for business leaders. The magazine recently came out with a list of the world’s Most Powerful Women. Not surprisingly, they chose German Chancellor Angela Merkel as No. 1. This is doubtless because the

Pravda, in one of the more bizarre editorials in a long time, touts First Lady Michelle Obama as the better Obama to sit in the Oval Office. An excerpt: “While Barack Obama insulted the Nobel Prize and the international community

NPR’s Nina Totenberg joins the ranks of feminists who are prostituting themselves – excuse me, sex worker-ing themselves – for Weiner. On Friday’s Inside Washington, Totenberg had the utter gall to spew the following drivel: NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: I finally

I don’t know Callista Gingrich, I’ve never met her, but it seems that the media is very eager to impress upon people like me the idea that she’s a self-centered, diva-nag. An odd thing to do, considering it’s her husband,

Michelle Obama has been under fire for inviting rapper Common to a poetry event at the White House scheduled for today. His reference to burning President Bush, and expressed dislike of interracial couples in interviews and lyrics has many frowning

From The Daily Caller: First Lady Michelle Obama has scheduled a poetry evening for Wednesday, and she’s invited several poets, including a successful Chicago poet and rapper, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., AKA “Common.” However, Lynn is quite controversial, in part

Why has the Food Safety Modernization Act (S510) encountered opposition from the Tea Partiers and their unlikely ally, the hippy, natural food, organic farmer, granola crowd? Look at the history of the FDA and see if they truly have the

JIM LEHRER: Good evening. In an interview on Chris Matthews’ Hardball last night, President Obama tried to quiet skeptics who believe the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan was a sham staged by the U. S. military. The

Who wants the government to tell our kids what they should eat? Not me. Regrettably, since The First Lady has no purpose other than pet causes, government is needlessly perpetuating its involvement in an area that lies outside its purview.

The American people do not support Obamacare. This much we know. So I’m willing to bet they’re going to be furious when they learn that the Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wants to spend as much as

The New York Daily News published a column Tuesday on the fabricated cartoon controversy – except they saw no reason to hyperventilate as Lawrence O’Donnell did last night, and bring race into a situation where it clearly doesn’t belong. In

The First Lady looks overweight in this cartoon, and even though the two other adults in the cartoon do as well, it must be – according to MSNBC standards – racist. So why didn’t Lawrence O’Donnell go off forever on
