“They want to see two girls come together and have a mud wrestling fight. And I’m not gonna give it to them because I have great admiration and respect for the Governor.” Bashir later says that Bachmann is using a

Rolling Stone’s hatchet job on Rep. Michele Bachmann has proven too much even for many liberals. As Yahoo News reports, there’s a controversy raging over the way the piece–sedately titled “Michele Bachmann’s Holy War”–“borrows heavily from a 2006 profile of

Several weeks ago, Justin Bieber entered the political arena when a Rolling Stone article quoted him saying that he opposed abortion but supported Canadian-style health care. Although people can agree or disagree with such political stances, it’s difficult to dislike

In the wake of the turmoil in the Mideast, stock prices in peripheral stock markets have continued to plunge, often by several percentage points in a day. Recent stock market plunges The Cairo stock exchange, which has been shut down

First a juicy bit to whet the appetite. This is from the military investigation that got the guy, LTC Holmes, who is accusing the military of using Psychological Operations against US Senators, and his female subordinate MAJ Levine booted from

Rolling Stone is pushing a story, aided by CNN and other outlets, that a “information operations unit” used psychological operations in an effort to influence Senators to support more funding for the war in Afghanistan. “Psy Ops” and “information operations”!

Praise be, they’re back. MTV has recently announced the triumphant return of Beavis and Butt-head. Original series creator Mike Judge is on board to produce new episodes which will air on the one-time music network later this year. As John

So here goes. The other day CBC contacted me for a response on something or other teen pop sensation Justin Bieber had said in Rolling Stone. He’d said something about health care the producer said, and had knocked America’s health

Since the Lara Logan story busted out all over the news sites and blogosphere early this week, there have been two reactions from Left media. Some have diverted into theories about male repression over women in general, and various psychological

Yesterday, Eyeblast wrote a post on Nir Rosen, a fellow at NYU’s Center for Law and Security, and his outlandish comments he made of the sexual assault of CBS correspondent Lara Logan- which was posted on here. Jim Geraghty from

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

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
