In response to Bill Maher being offered the New York Times op-ed page to tell everyone to "stop apologizing" for wicked jokes, Kirsten Powers replied with a letter to the editor with Penny Lee, a former executive director of the Democratic Governors Association: Please start apologizing, they insisted:

Preparing for an interview with Neil Cavuto on pro-Obama headlines, I picked up the Friday New York Times, and there it was on the front page, in the midst of four-dollar-a-gallon gas prices: "Obama Seizes Chance to Score As an Everyman." This might seem at odds with his 2008 sales job as the Exotic Cosmopolitan Uniter, but that schtick has faded. Reporter/manservant Mark Leibovich touted the…

A few weeks after liberals threw a fit that Rush Limbaugh would call Sandra Fluke a "prostitute," on Thursday night's Rachel Maddow show, she welcomed on a liberal minister who bizarrely claimed Rick Santorum had committed a "prostitution of the church" by having a political rally in Louisiana with the Rev. Dennis Terry. Rev. Welton Gaddy of the liberal Interfaith Alliance proclaimed "It`s a…

Besides politics, the economy, and whatever else of interest, sports talk welcome. Why oh why Ohio?

Watching the Elite Eight this weekend? Sound off on this thread about college basketball or whatever else you'd like.

In 1968, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) effectively nationalized the movie industry’s rating system to guide parents and the wider public about the content of films before purchasing tickets. A year doesn’t go by since then that the Beautiful People don’t throw their artistic temper tantrums when they receive a harsher rating than they want. The latest example is a…

Slate.com political reporter Dave Weigel tweeted with typical sarcasm yesterday "Excited for the Atheist rally tomorrow. It's usually so hard to find smug people in DC." One of the stars of this rally is Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion." In an article for the badly named "On Faith" website of The Washington Post, Dawkins displayed his contempt for the "ignorance" brigade led by…

This was Republicans Gone Wild week in the imaginations of Kossacks, who described the party as a "radical hate group"; suggested that the "spirit of Hitler" counsels its leaders; and predicted that rank-and-file GOPers, foreseeing President Obama's re-election, soon would lash out violently.  As usual, each headline is preceded by the blogger's name or pseudonym.

On Friday's The Ed Show on MSNBC, host Ed Schultz and MSNBC political analyst Richard Wolffe - formerly of Newsweek - drew attention to a woman at a shooting range who recently encouraged Rick Santorum to "pretend it's Obama" while the GOP presidential candidate was firing at a target. After Schultz noted that Santorum criticized the comment when it was brought to his attention, Wolffe…

On Friday's Your World with Neil Cavuto on the Fox News Channel, MRC director of media analysis Tim Graham appeared to review how the media covered the politics and economic of gas prices under the Obama administration as compared to the Bush administration. Fox News ran a series of headlines showing the difference in approach -- high gas prices could doom Bush, but aren't Obama's fault, and…

We get it, Associated Press. We get it! Rising gasoline prices are NOT President Obama's fault. Or so you want us to believe. However, could you be just a little less blatant in pitching that line? As it is, your lack of subtlety in hammering home that message is embarrassing to read such as your latest example in which you mention that some people blame Obama along with a lot of other…

If the Supreme Court upheld ObamaCare, would it really be by an eight-to-one margin? CNN's senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said it's possible, expressing more confidence in that prediction than the common analysis that the Court is evenly split on the issue with Justice Anthony Kennedy as the tiebreaking vote. Toobin's analysis echoes the overwhelmingly positive liberal meme that…

On Friday's NBC Today, news anchor Natalie Morales worried about the safety of reality star Kim Kardashian after a "nasty surprise" at a red carpet event: "...a woman threw white powder on the starlet. Paramedics were called to the hotel, but Kardashian refused treatment....The woman who allegedly threw the so-called flour bomb was detained but later released." The same concern was never…
