Suppose you buy a gallon of gas for $3. How much did it cost you? You say, "Williams, that's a silly question. It cost $3." That's where you're mistaken, because there's a difference between price and cost. To prove that price and cost are not the same, consider the following. Suppose you live and work in New York City and routinely pay $15 for a haircut. Imagine you were told that there's a…

There was a moment on CBS's reality show Amazing Race Sunday that's guaranteed to put a smile on conservative faces. Not only did the contestant currently in first place admit to being a "cigar-chomping, Republican conservative," he also said, "Rush would be really upset with me for missing" a question about Ronald Reagan (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Joe Scarborough has dropped the f-word on live TV.  But does he dare drop the I-word: Islam? On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough to his credit rejected the maudlin pseudo-introspection of those [including panelist Richard Haass] who would somehow blame America's failure to integrate the Tsarnaev brothers into society for their decision to bomb the Boston Marathon. Scarborough didn't hesitate…

In the Bush years, McClatchy Newspapers became a legend to liberals and a joke to conservatives for how fiercely they “reported”/advocated against the Iraq war.  Our 2007 “Quote of the Year” was this headline as the war news became more positsive:  "As Violence Falls in Iraq, Cemetery Workers Feel the Pinch." That spirit was alive in Washington last week when McClatchy reporter-photographer…

 Media, government promote lefty observance also funded by Soros. 

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is famous for saying: “You never want a good crisis to go to waste.” Apparently, that's also the motto of the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center's Marilyn Elias, who last week wrote an article amid the hunt for the Boston marathon bombing suspects which urged both caution against jumping to conclusions that Muslims might have perpetrated it but also attempted to…

When vulgarian comedienne Kathy Griffin kissed Anderson Cooper’s crotch on CNN’s New Year’s Eve program a few months ago and wasn’t in any way admonished for it, Americans were given a preview of what the self-proclaimed most trusted name in news was going to look like under Jeff Zucker’s leadership. On Sunday, CNN's new 9PM show Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, despite airing in primetime,…

Both the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News, the latter crediting wire service assistance, have reported that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the now deceased older brother accused of committing the Boston Marathon bombings, was thrown out of a service at the Islamic Society of Boston, the Cambridge mosque he attended, about three months ago. I wonder if anyone in the media will notice the terror…

On his podcast Friday, as the networks were going wall-to-wall with live coverage of Boston, comedian and pundit Adam Carolla questioned whether Boston coverage was excessive. Matt Wilstein at Mediaite transcribed the conversation, which should be a journalism-school topic in the weeks to come. “Boston is three people dead, and quite a few injured,” Carolla said, “but it’s three people dead…

Gay marriage advocates have frequently scoffed at conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Rick Santorum who say legalizing same-sex marriage will lead to the classification of other relationships as “marriage,” such as multiple spouses, incest and bestiality. Now some on the left are happily gliding down the “slippery slope.” Slate’s April 15th article called “Legalize polygamy: No. I am not…

Fox News's Andy Levy - he of Red Eye fame - absolutely trashed the Huffington Post Saturday for falsely accusing his network of reporting actress Zooey Deschanel was a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. In a series of tweets in response to the article, Levy called the Post "pathetic," "an embarrassment," and "hacky pieces of garbage":

After asking the politically sensitive question Friday, "Is the Boston killer eligible for Obama Care to bring him back to health," Donald Trump continued offering his views concerning Monday's attack via Twitter moments ago. "What do you think of water boarding the Boston killer sometime prior to allowing our doctors to make him well? I suspect he may talk!"

On April 4, the Associated Press' Christopher Rugaber wrote: "Gone are the fears that the economy could fall into another recession." Having in effect announced the repeal of the business cycle for the foreseeable future, despite the fact that the economy's post-recession job recovery performance has been the worst since World War II by miles, it seems that Rugaber is now doing his best to…

When the State Department held a hearing on the Keystone XL pipeline in Grand Island, Nebraska, the Associated Press displayed an obvious preference for one side: the pipeline-haters. They couldn't quote one Nebraska resident who might favor the job-creating project. Grant Schulte’s report was 18 paragraphs long, and most of them obsessed over what the eco-protesters wanted. The only…
