Abolish the Fed, Says Sun Microsystems Co-founder
On CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday, Sun Microsystems founder and Harvard-trained economist Scott Mc Nealy asserted the Federal Reserve has become a "marketing department" for the government and "shouldn't be in any business at all. They shouldn’t be in the business of taxing people by devaluing the dollar, and they shouldn’t be in the business of setting expectations."
He said the Fed should…

Establishment Press Virtually Ignores Occupy Movement's Second Anniver
A 6 p.m. Google News search on "Occupy Movement" (not in quotes, sorted by date) returned 69 items dated September 16 and 17.
The same search adding the word "capitalism" returned only two items. This is odd, because, as one of the two items returned noted, "capitalism" — as in ending it — is the core platform of the few who remain involved with the two year-old movement.

TIME 'Ideas' Blogger: Stop Military Recruiters From 'Infiltrat[ing]' A
American kids are woefully behind the curve when it comes to courses of study in the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math] fields, liberals love to tell us. To prepare our kids for success in a global economy, we need more federal involvement in education, they argue.
But heaven forbid the U.S. military be part of that solution, that might lead to a "militarization of young minds…

David Limbaugh Column: David Brooks's Lame Trashing of Sen. Cruz
New York Times columnist David Brooks argued on PBS' "NewsHour" Friday night that "Sen. Ted Cruz and similar legislators" are obstructionists who care more about undermining the Republican establishment than advancing legislation.
Note that I didn't use "conservative" to modify "columnist" or "David Brooks," though the Times and other mainstream media outlets routinely bill Brooks as…

GOP 'Didn't Want Any Emergency Response at All!' After Sandy, Randi Rh
Combine derangement and deceit from a liberal radio talker and what you get is singularly repellent.
Much like her lefty soulmate Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, Randi Rhodes is a huge fan of "infrastructure" spending. But while conservatives hear "infrastructure" and are likely to think, oh say, roads and bridges, Rhodes hears it and thinks, ka-ching! Much like the Democrats in Congress for whom she…

Aaron Sorkin's Fictional Republican: Why Must We Hate Gays, Science an
The HBO series Newsroom on Sunday continued its clumsy examination of liberal media bias. In the Aaron Sorkin-created series, "Will McAvoy" (played by Jeff Daniels) is a "Republican" anchor at the fictional ACN network. Yet, he constantly bashes members of the GOP in the harshest terms. In the September 15 episode, McAvoy, who in a previous episode referred to the Tea Party as the "American…

WashPost's 'Conservative' Blogger Jennifer Rubin Taking Aim at Cuccine
According to a Washington Post blogger, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is a "hard-edged and confrontational" conservative with a "highly divisive" agenda. What's more, he's a pouty wimp who "plays the victim" for having called gubernatorial campaign opponent Terry McAuliffe a "bully." [h/t Ben Domenech]
Another left-wing scribe on the Post payroll? Actually, no, that's all from the…

CNN Agrees With Tom Hanks Company to Make Ten-Part 'Sixties' Documenta
CNN reached a deal with liberal actor Tom Hanks and his Playtone company to create a ten-part documentary on The Sixties. Hanks is “in talks” to be the narrator. These are the same folks that brought America the liberal movie “Game Change,” starring an utterly fictional and psychotic Sarah Palin.
CNN boss Jeff Zucker said, “Projects like this are emblematic of exactly the type of programming…

Feminist Site 'Jezebel' Showcases 'Untrained Illegal Abortionist
With the tide of popular opinion and state law running against them, abortion absolutists are turning to saviors (Wendy “Pink Tennis Shoes” Davis) and martyrs like the one profiled recently on the ultra-feminist liberal site Jezebel.
In an article titled “I Help Women, and I Could Go To Jail for It,” an anonymous author who claimed to be “one of America’s unlicensed, untrained illegal…

CNN Asks If Sequester 'Put Lives at Risk' at Navy Yard
[UPDATED BELOW] Three times on Tuesday morning, CNN mentioned sequester cuts as a possible culprit behind the security breach at the Navy Yard that led to Monday's shooting there. A CNN headline actually read "Did Government Cuts Put Lives at Risk?"
This came after a former Navy commander warned on CNN that blaming the sequester was "very premature." And just before noon, correspondent Dana…

MSNBC's O'Donnell Gets Schooled by Garry Kasparov on Obama's 'Red Line
On Monday's The Last Word show, after former chess champion and Russian political activist Garry Kasparov charged that President Obama had "blown up [the] reputation of his office" by allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk him down from his "red line" warning against Syria, MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell tried to argue that Obama had not really lost face since he never specifically…
