If you noticed, when Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested for the alleged sexual assault on a maid at a hotel in New York, I didn’t join in, almost alone in the blogosphere.
Something didn’t seem right. The story was too neat, and too couched in political correctness. It was the same feeling I...
As mentioned yesterday, Obama not only is running a cheesy $5 raffle fundraising stunt, he also is pushing donors hard to contribute something, even if it’s only $5, before the June 30 fundraising period closes.
Whether to pad the dollar amounts or the numbers of donors, or both, the frenzy at this...
I reported the other day how RI Gov. Linc Chafee was refusing to turn a murderer over to the feds because the murderer potentially was subject to the death penalty. The murderer attempted to plead guilty to the murder in state court so as to avoid federal charges, but that...
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley has accused Justice David Prosser of using a “chokehold” on her. The Dane County Sheriff’s office is investigating.
Remember the term “chokehold” as the investigation as to what really happened progresses and the facts eventually come out.
“Chokehold” is a very specific term, and is more than hands or a...
Mark Halperin confirmed my impression of Obama’s divisive, dismissive and demeaning performance at his press conference yesterday:
The interesting thing for me is not that Halperin thought it, but that he said it thinking it would not make it to the airwaves. Compare such a frank assessment to how Scarborough initially...
Is there any doubt that if Obama could do it on his own, Jerusalem would be divided and Israel forced back to the 1949 armistice borders?
A point I have made before is that the real danger comes in a second term, when he is freed of electoral pressures. And don’t think that...
The Revolt of the Kulaks has come to California.
Via Drudge, California’s attempt to tax internet sales has met with a reaction:
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law California’s tax on Internet sales through affiliate advertising which will immediately cut small-business website revenue 20% to 30%, experts say.
The bill, AB 28X, takes effect...
Yesterday, I wrote about a new Mediscare ad from “Priorities USA,” the SuperPAC created by former Obama campaign National Press Secretary Bill Burton. A SuperPAC is any group that falls under the post-Citizens United fundraising regulations, meaning it can raise unlimited funds from individuals and groups like corporations and labor unions.
Well,...
Lebanon has been pushed closer to the brink, as four senior members of Hezbollah have been indicted by a U.N. prosecutor:
Four Hezbollah members have been indicted in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Lebanese media outlets reported on Thursday.
A delegation from...
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
Cost savings from worker contributions to health care and retirement, taking effect today as part of the new collective bargaining laws, will swing the Kaukauna School District from a $400,000 budget deficit to an estimated $1.5 million surplus…. The district… plans to hire...
The same institution that put countries such as Libya, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia on their Human Rights Council and Iran on their Commission on...
First it was O Chit, now this.
Sent in by reader Leslie who writes: ”Spotted on the back glass window in Jacksonville, FL on a Nissan truck.”
I’m not sure where we go from here.
00A reader forwarded me this e-mail received from Obama’s fundraising operation, titled “They’re Wrong,” which suggests that Obama is anticipating weak fundraising numbers. The full e-mail is in the image below (click to enlarge), but here is the key portion (emphasis mine):
We’re closing the books on...

” I like to say that for the black community, nothing will change until we learn to love our children more than we love the Democratic party.”
Some thoughts from the speaker here, and others here and here.
You may remember “Priorities USA,” the group former White House spokesman Bill Burton started back in April. Reports at the time indicated that the new “super PAC” will follow the new rules dictated by the Citizens United case, meaning that they can accept unlimited, undisclosed contributions from corporations and labor unions. This is a...
