and that cannot be limited without being lost." On the other hand: And so it was written, and so it is done (at 5:45): "In New York City, which you're visiting for a couple of days, a lot of our taxi drivers are Sikhs. If you get one, are you...

Hollywood constantly has its thumb on the political scale. Whether it's late night talk show hosts, SNL, or sitcoms, the political pressure always heads in one direction: Sunday's episode of "Mad Men" — the popular drama about an ad agency in the 1960s — gave a nod...

Via The Crawdad Hole, a very interesting chart of FBI crime statistics for 2009. What it shows is that whites kill whites, and blacks kill blacks.  And interestingly, "other" kills "other." It's not the narrative heard much in the media, because it does not play into stereotypes...

Gawker Media's websites, particularly its flagship Gawker website, are notorious gossipers. Gawker in many ways is an equal opportunity attacker, but two of its highest profile stories were sexualized attacks against conservative female politicians. Wonkette, known for going after Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin and other conservative women, was...

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...

Good for Newt for pushing back against David Gregory. This segment epitomizes almost everything about how the MSM tries to frame the narrative against conservatives and particularly against religious Christians. It actually got worse. After Newt, Gregory did the same thing to Eric Cantor, and then demanded...

Liberal groups have seized on a strategy I didn't think would be effective, but has had some success, to go after advertisers of prominent conservative media personalities. Media Matters explicitly seeks to bring down Fox News and investigate its executives, and Fox News advertisers have been...

In addition to the line quoted in the title, listen to what Breitbart told him the core of the problem was:  The media. Nothing proves how right Breitbart was as the last few days of complete and utter absurdity regarding Sandra Fluke.  Her testimony should have...

Being the mainstream media means making birth control an election issue, then wondering aloud why birth control is an election issue. Disingenuous Tweet of the Day: The tweet links to an article titled Birth control as election issue? Why? The issue of birth control has suddenly become an obsession...

When Foster Friess, a funder of a pro-Santorum SuperPAC, made a joke about birth control in the old days (that women kept an aspirin between their knees, meaning they kept their legs closed and were not promiscuous), there was outrage (on the internet pronounced OUTRAGE)...

Interesting theory from Steve Kates at the Catallaxy Files ("Australia's leading libertarian and centre-right blog") that Obama does not want to run against Romney and that exciting the religious base in the Republican Party decreases Romney's chances. I'm not sure I agree with what amounts to a double-manipulation...

Dick Morris appeared on Hannity  last night  (h/t @TheAnchoress) and made a connection between the January New Hampshire debate and Obama rolling out the contraception issue: If only I had thought of that earlier in the day and pushed the issue into the media with the help of...
