The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and American Medical Association (AMA) came out in support of the 2000-page plus House Democratic health care bills.

Do not be deceived by this alphabet soup of support. The positions of the AARP and AMA amount to political posturing divorced from the reality of...

No, not really. But neither did the Democrats on Tuesday, notwithstanding Nancy Pelosi’s proclamation on Wednesday that “We won”:

“From my perspective, we won last night. We had one race that we were engaged in — it was in northern New York. It was a race where a Republican has held a...

One of the curiosities of the health care debate is the vigor with which two prominent tax-exempt organizations, AARP and Consumers Union, support Democratic proposals which will impose a myriad of taxes on the American people.

AARP is set to announce its support for the current House proposal which cuts Medicare and...

The Associated Press is reporting that AARP, which purports to act in the interest of senior citizens, is going to endorse the $1.2 trillion house health care restructuring bill. The announcement could come as early as tomorrow.

AARP only nominally is a senior citizen interest group. In fact, it is a product-selling...

I should have seen this coming (@1:15 pm 11-4-09):

Last night was a great night for Democrats. At least if the only world you live in is the left-wing blogosphere.

Democrats won the 23rd District in upstate NY by 4 points in a race torn apart by a liberal Republican mistake named Dede Scozzafava, who took 6 percent of the vote...

Robert Stacy McCain was invaluable in following the NY-23 race. McCain travelled to the district and spent time there both before and on election day.

When not evading the state highway police while racing from location to location, stealing Wifi signals for his posts, and pinching a free buffet breakfast here and...

There are many reasons for Doug Hoffman losing by four points.

Yes, Hoffman was unknown just a month ago. Yes, Dede Scozzafava and the Watertown Daily Times scared people that Hoffman would not bring home the federal pork. Yes, union backing helped Bill Owens organizationally. Yes, the bizarre machinations in the last...

This screen shot says it all. From Crooks and Liars, the faces of the progressive movement revealed with an irony completely lost on the author of that post:

Please keep Grayson in the spotlight, at least throught the 2010 elections. We can’t do it without you.

If Republicans had done this, you would hear screams across the mainstream media and left-wing blogosphere loud enough to wake Larry King. Racial disparity: All active ethics probes focus on black lawmakers:

Rich Lowry has a good piece on Obama’s decision to skip ceremonies and celebrations commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall:

Obama famously made a speech in Berlin during last year’s campaign, but at an event devoted to celebrating himself as the apotheosis of world hopefulness. He said of 1989, “a wall...

Regarding Obama administration policy towards Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, it is reported:

Obama administration officials are saying they’ll judge Karzai on his appointments ….

Hmm … Van Jones, Bill Richardson, Tom Daschle, Ron Kirk, Nancy Killefer, Hilda Solis, Chas Freeman, etcetera.

Perhaps the headline should be:

Karzai administration officials are saying they’ll judge...

Here’s what they really think of voters:

But I think, in many ways, it might be the same mood that elected Obama. Remember: most ordinary schmucks aren’t politics junkies. They’re not ideologically consistent. They were hurting a year ago and a vote for Barack Obama was a flip of...

From a post titled White Men Are Not Very Progressive:
