The other day, when the news of “hacked” e-mails from a British climate institute hit the internet, I wrote Why The “Hacked E-Mails” Don’t Interest Me, Yet. In the post, I noted that I did not have the time to devote to the hacked e-mails...

Barack Obama held another off-the-record 2-hour lunch with bloggers and columnists, Sister Todjah reports: No word yet on how the sour grapes tasted. This is becoming a regular occurrence, isn’t it? What’s happening with this WH? Are they so concerned now about MSM journalists like...

It’s slipping away from the protectors of the Obama image. Increasingly, the mainstream media is using the term “Nixonian” in the same sentence as Obama. And all because of an unnecessary fight Obama picked with Fox News. The term Nixonian has taken on a meaning...

I told you this was coming. Two weeks ago I predicted that when Glenn Beck returned from vacation, he would go on the offensive against Van Jones and the others behind the boycott of Beck’s Fox News show. This was the only available strategy, since...

I can’t keep up with all the ways in which this administration is failing. From the health care restructuring proposals gone sour, to the slippage in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the appeasement of Hugo Chavez and Iran and the bullying of Honduras, to the end...

The White House appears to have taken down the [email protected] e-mail address used to have people report fishy comments by other people about health care. But, the bounce-back when you send an e-mail provides an alternative address, to the White House “reality check” web page:...

Is the collapse of the Soviet Union a reasonable analogy for what may happen in Iran? There are certain parallels, including repressive regimes bent on imposing ideology to perpetuate their own rule. In each case, it is hard to imagine how the repression could end,...
