Amy Schumer Accepts Award With 'I Can Catch a Dick Whenever' Boast

She’s funny, but she’s way raunchy.  Comedian Amy Schumer spared nothing during her acceptance speech at the 2015 Glamour U.K. Women of the Year ceremony.

'How Many Times' Will Lewd Rap Songs Be Popular?

Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising anymore when a rap song contains offensive content. But "How Many Times" by DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and Big Sean makes even some of the worst material seem somewhat benign.  The song focuses on the rappers’ attempts at enticing women to have sex with them, with the recurring line, “How many times I gotta tell that ass to come over? (sic)” It’s a safe…

Wow, MSNBC Really Loves Mocking the GOP 'Clown Car'

Gail Collins Scowls at Young GOP Candidates...But Not Obama '08

James Taranto at The Wall Street Journal assembled another example in the "Two Columnists in One!" on Friday, this one on a complete partisan double-standard by New York Times columnist Gail Collins, who spent six years (2001-2007) in charge of the Times editorial page, the first woman to have the gig. It seems that experience and advanced age are good qualities this year...but not in 2008, when…

AP: Perry's Reference to God-Given Rights Is 'A Nod to the Tea Party'

On Thursday, the Associated Press's Will Weissert demonstrated that the ignorance of our nation's founding documents exhibited by Meredith Shiner at Yahoo Politics in March is not isolated to her.

Democratic Oppo Fingerprints on NY Times Rubio Traffic 'Scoop'?

Brent Scher at the Washington Free Beacon added an intriguing spin on Friday’s New York Times “scoop” on the traffic citations of Sen and Mrs. Marco Rubio. The Times report appeared very shortly after all these citations were pulled by American Bridge PAC, a very pro-Hillary super PAC that’s gettting fingerprints on several media hit pieces on Republican presidential candidates.
