Katie Couric's Freudian Slip About Obama's 'Learner's Permit
April 13th, 2009 1:29 PM
Sticking up against those ol' playground bullies on the Right, CBS's Katie Couric tells conservatives in a recent blog post to " give the new kids on the block" in the Obama administration "a chance to get their learner's permits first." Not exactly the wisest choice of words from an Obama-friendly journalist, particularly when a heavy drumbeat of criticism against him in the presidential…

The Press Continues to Obsess Over Obama's 'Distractions
April 9th, 2009 11:50 PM
Reuters is only the latest wire service to go way over the top in taking pity on President Obama for having to deal with nasty things that intervene to disturb Dear Leader's apparent solitude.At the same time, Reuters seems to be characterizing the situations in Iran and North Korea as "distractions" that are equivalent to that being posed by the Somali pirates.I don't know how else you can…

April 9th, 2009 2:45 PM
That Joe Biden and the truth have been distant acquaintances from time to time was recently seen in March (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog) when the Vice President claimed that Louisiana was losing 400 jobs a day. Louisiana at the time was actually gaining jobs.The math-challenged Biden, who infamously said during the presidential campaign that the word “jobs” has three letters, is now making claims…

Jim Douglas (R), making Vermont the fourth state with legalized same-sex marriage and the first through the consent of the governed as expressed through their legislature. It didn't take long for…

Country Singer Rips Obama Administration for Renaming Global War on Te
April 1st, 2009 5:05 PM
The mainstream media has found little of alarm in the story, but conservative bloggers including musician Charlie Daniels have taken heed of the Obama administration's changes to the terminology the U.S. government uses to describe the war on terrorism.

Frank-ly Control Freaks: Congressional Committee Passes Bill Controlli
March 31st, 2009 12:34 PM
Is it okay to call them socialists yet? (/sarc)And to think we were "only" worried about having a known Tax Cheat overseeing everyone's taxes.With Barney Frank's help, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is trying to expand his power (and by inference that of his Dear Leader boss) well beyond that. The "Pay for Performance Act," which has already gotten out of committee, would give him veto power…
British Enviro Adviser Calls for Halving UK’s Population; US Media V
March 31st, 2009 11:02 AM
There is plenty of evidence that many environmental activists are, at bottom, dangerous extremists who have deluded themselves into believing that the earth's population must be radically reduced if humanity is to survive.
