This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain:
This post originally was going to be a reaction to a post at Jack & Jill Politics regarding Amy Bishop, titled Sometimes White Privilege Just Comes Along and SMACKS You Upside the Head. The point...
I have to hand it to team Obama. They do not give up on Obama’s goal of remaking the health care system into the image that Obama wants.
Even if Obama doesn’t get everything he wants, if either of the current House or Senate versions passes, or some combined version, we will...
Not surprisingly, Scott Brown is a target for Think Progress, which regularly distorts what conservatives say as part of the Democrats’ strategy to paint all opponents as extremist and crazy.
TP ran the following headline yesterday related to the attack by Joe Stack who crashed a small plane into a building...
Someone at the Israeli Embassy in Britain has a wicked sense of humor.
The Embassy sent the following tweet, which has caused the anti-Israel paper, The Guardian, to go somewhat crazy.
The tweet seemingly refers to the hit on a Hamas leader in Dubai, carried out allegedly by Israelis, some of whom were...
“Progressive” bloggers met yesterday at the White House with the “chief economist to Vice President Joe Biden” (who knew there was such a thing? why do we have such a thing?) who told them what Oba-messages to put on their Obamalogs:
The basic thrust of the event was to present a case...

Durham police arrested Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Gale Mangum, 33, late Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted her boyfriend, set his clothes on fire in a bathtub and threatened to stab him….
Mangum is the author of the memoir “Last Dance for Grace.” She was a student at North Carolina...

The tapes coordinate closed circuit shots taken at multiple locations tracking multiple...
Barack Obama is claiming credit for “saving” the economy from a full-blown depression based on passage of the stimulus plan.

It looks like the left-wing of the Democratic Party will get the candidate it wants as party nominee to replace Evan Bayh. According to Hotline OnCall,...
A top Hamas official linked to the arms trade with Iran was assassinated in Dubai. Everyone assumes it was the Israelis.
Dubai officials announced that they had identified the group of assailants, and even published photos, names, and nationalities, based on the passports.
Uh, not so fast. The Irish government says that three...
The Democratic base has convinced itself that the problem is that Obama has not succeeded in passing health care legislation and other items on his agenda. The possibility that their agenda is being rejected by voters never enters their minds.
Here’s a pretty good analysis of where the Democratic Party stands, by ...
Good news. The NY Times is reporting that the second in command of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Baradar, has been captured in Pakistan.
The capture was undertaken by the Pakistanis with help from the
