Is there something toxic in the hair piece? Singer Tony Bennett isn't just a liberal, he's an embarrassing liberal who says the wrong thing at the wrong time. The Hollywood Reporter passes along that at the pre-Grammy bash of record producer Clive Davis, Bennett took the news of Whitney Houston's untimely death as an occasion for a political statement demanding America legalize drugs like the…

When it comes to culturally liberal policy positions, MSNBC has been repeatedly eager to portray conservatives as engaged in a "war on women" with Democrats and the Obama White House being the white knights riding to the defense of damsels in distress everywhere. But when one program dared to deviate a little from the party line earlier this week to voice concerns about the Obama…

Washington Post Magazine humorist Gene Weingarten is letting his liberal politics fly in his “Below the Beltway” humor column again. On Sunday, abortion was funny – or to be precise, the Texas legislature passing a bill that requires a doctor to show a patient seeking an abortion  a sonogram of her fetus, "describe its features," and make her hear its heartbeat.

Politico's online poll question of the day is "Do you think the president’s decision to compromise on his birth-control policy was the right call?" The question is a bit vague, but it wasn't in any way as tilted as the answers. You could either say Obama was a fair and reasonable centrist, or he was too willing to make concessions to the Catholic bishops. You couldn't check a box that says "…

Timothy Noah, once a reporter for Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report, is not in the Chris Matthews "elusive hero" camp on John F. Kennedy. The new memoir from former intern Mimi Alford led him to post a blog titled "JFK, Monster." He finds Alford's claims very persuasive and is appalled at the spectacle of President Kennedy pressuring his college-age intern mistress into performing oral…

Conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart issued a strong warning to the disgracefully biased cable "news" network MSNBC Friday. Appearing at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Breitbart said, "We’re watching you to play the race card" (video follows with transcript and commentary, vulgarity warning):

For general discussion and debate about anything you want including sports.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday. Videos of his full speech follow in two parts:

Despite the revelations that, while having an affair with an intern, President Kennedy, pimped the teen out to staffers, gave the young girl drugs and helped her look for an abortion doctor, journalists Chris Matthews and former Newsweek editor Evan Thomas insisted that JFK and Jackie Kennedy had a "good," "full" marriage. [See video below. MP3 audio here.] Thomas appeared on Wednesday's…

The press was eager to jump on initial remarks by U.S. bishops that President Obama's announcement yesterday of what the Wall Street Journal aptly described in an editorial this morning as the "Immaculate Contraception" -- namely, the idea that insurance companies would somehow pay out of their own pockets for costs relating to "contraceptive services" to which the bishops objected to having…
