A new service from Michelle Malkin and team, which I noticed because they twitched (twitchy-ed / twitchied ?) me today. Scandal at The Washington Post: Fraud, Lobbying & Insider Trading. "If we don't do better among Latinos, we are not going to be talking about how to...

There's another "victim" of Rush Limbaugh, according to Adam Clark Estes at The Atlantic Wire, Rush Limbaugh's Latest Verbal Victim Feels Derided, Dismissed: Less than a week after calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" on the air, Rush Limbaugh ran his mouth again on Tuesday, calling investigative...

I'm all in favor of wind energy.  If it works, do it.  But the notion that windmills will be anything more than a small aspect of electricity production is blowing smoke. I previously highlighted the problem in Britain, where wind turbine owners are paid not to...

The decline in the price of Carbonite stock since it announced it was dropping its longstanding advertising on the Rush Limbaugh show is not the real story of the damage done to Carbonite. The price of Carbonite stock has been dropping since October for reasons unrelated to this controversy,...
