The title isn't about the Middle East, although it could be. It's John Nolte's persuasive analysis of the mainstream media in light of the hot mic comment initially thought to come from an ABC News staff member that the Romneys are "happy to party while black...

Ann Romney skewers that big talking phony, without mentioning his name

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 29, 2012 34 Comments

The key moment for me in Ann Romney's speech was when she said that Mitt doesn't like to talk about how he helps others: Mitt doesn't like to talk about how he has helped others because he sees it as a privilege, not a political talking...

Ray Gaster comments at LI – “I have yet to see a bridge make a payroll”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 29, 2012 31 Comments

Ray Gaster has been in the news because of the sign he posted outside his business. The sign was called to my attention by a carpet cleaner working in our house who, though not the business owner, shared Mr. Gaster's sentiments. I did a short post...

Court throws out Texas redistricting plans

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 28, 2012 22 Comments

A three judge panel in D.C. has thrown out all Texas redistricing maps which were subject to challenge by the DOJ. It's a monster 154-page decision, embedded below, so it will take time to figure out what was done to which districts. Because Texas is a...

The Bow is back

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 28, 2012 32 Comments

Remember The Bow. You know, the one which the White House denied was a bow, in one of the earlier displays of the White House thinking we are stupid: "It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 28, 2012 42 Comments

Chris Matthews is pushing the race card really hard, as is MNSBC and much of the mainstream media. I sense panic, complete and utter panic. Everything is a race whistle to this crowd (is using the term "crowd" racist, Chris, or at least a dog whistle?). Matthews came...

The “you didn’t build it” meme has permeated deep

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 27, 2012 34 Comments

I guess this is the day for anecdotes. First, the friend who texted "Omg!" after seeing 2016 Obama's America. Then, the carpet cleaning guy today who called this photo to our attention when told about this blog: (Background on the sign here and just about everywhere.) I spoke with...
