Rob Lowe Shocks NY Times: 'I Want Government Out of Almost Everything

In an interview with The New York Times, Rob Lowe was asked for his political beliefs: “My thing is personal freedoms, freedoms for the individual to love whom they want, do with what they want.

Lady Gaga Resurrects Jesus, Simulates Sex in Music Video

Time's Jon Friedman Fails to Show That Hank Aaron Would Face Worse Soc

Over at what's left of Time Magazine's Time.com, Jon Friedman claims that Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron "Would Have Faced Worse Racism Today" than he did in 1973 and 1974 as he edged ever closer to and then broke Babe Ruth's once thought unapproachable career record of 714 home runs. There is no doubt that Aaron faced significant adversity as he neared that record. In that pre-…

Rachel Maddow is Shocked! Shocked! That Leland Yee Accused of Selling

Thoroughly leeward cable network MSNBC touts its slogan as "Lean Forward." There are times when "Look the Other Way" would be more accurate in describing its coverage.

As I noted yesterday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, when asked to identify a specific accomplishment during her tenure there, failed to answer the question, instead falling back on the Obama administration's tired "we inherited a terrible economy" meme. Never let it be said that yours truly doesn't try to be helpful. Here's an "accomplishment" I can attribute to Mrs. Clinton,…

Samantha Power Puff: WashPost Calls Obama's UN Pick a 'Dazzling Diagno

The Sunday Washington Post Magazine has a new, larger design, which allows for a bigger picture of Obama favorite Samantha Power, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The first sign that Post writer Manuel Roig-Franzia’s going to play it soft: he never mentions that Power called Hillary Clinton a “monster” in 2008. Or the first sign might be the goopy copy about how she is “one of her…
