In my prior post, “What’s Martha Afraid Of?”, I predicted that Martha Coakley’s duck and hide campaign strategy would begin to backfire, and would become the equivalent of the Ben & Jerry’s “What’s the doughboy afraid of?” campaign. Sure enough, Boston Globe columnist Brian McGrory...

Dear Jane, You and I do not have many political agreements, but one thing we agree upon is that the Senate health care bill must be defeated. I have my reasons, and you have yours. One thing we agree upon is that the mandate is...

TMZ fell for a hoax regarding a supposed photo of JFK on a boat with lots of naked women. Before the hoax was revealed, Andrew Sullivan authored a post on the subject, which has been pulled completely. Here is what remains on Sullivan’s blog: The...

Yet more utter nonsense spread in the left-wing blogosphere, this time about how Joe Lieberman wants the U.S. to “invade” Yemen. In fact, Lieberman said that we needed to act “preemptively” against al-Qaeda in Yemen to avoid Yemen becoming the next war, and said nothing...

I’ve posted about Alan Grayson before. The Congressman from Florida is the class clown of Congress (that’s including Al Franken in the equation). Grayson not only is nuts, he has dangerous tendencies. As reported at Politico, Grayson is trying to get the Justice Department to...
