MSNBC Uncovers Obama Fundraiser in Club With 'Striptease Sundays
(h/t Dan Gainor) Campaigning for the loyalty of young voters can be tricky, so holding a fundraiser in a Miami night club can't hurt (although it didn't help then-Florida gubernatorial candidate Janet Reno in 2002). But holding one in a night club that hosts "Striptease Sundays" is just asking for media scrutiny, although I doubt it will be a big row for Democratic candidate Sen. Barack…
IPCC Member: NASA’s Hansen Moving 'Dangerously Away From Scientific

WashPost Acknowledges Marxist-Guerrilla Inspirations of Illegal-Alien
Back in July, Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff wrote a front-page report on conservative Virginia blogger Greg Letiecq, suggesting he was a "mouse-pushing crackpot" and a "fringe extremist" for claiming, among other things, that his opponents in a local fight over illegal immigration were "unassimilated marxist radicals."

The Media Research Center's Brent Baker reported last Monday that NBC was going to broadcast a live installment of Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" before Sunday's preseason football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles.

I'm thanking God right now for a wonderful invention called the DVR.How 'bout you? Unfortunately, those around the country without such technology are apparently about to be deluged with climate change hysteria according to Advertising Age (…
Newspapers Refuse to Run ‘Opus’ Comics With Muslim Reference
Editor & Publisher reported Friday that 25 out of 200 newspapers that regularly publish the "Opus" comic strip will not run back-to-back Sunday episodes that include Muslim references and a sex joke (h/t Dan Gainor, emphasis added throughout): Berkeley Breathed's Aug. 26 and Sept. 2 strips -- which comprise sort of a two-part series -- show the Lola Granola character wanting to become an…
