The mainstream media will undertake, and already has undertaken, a concerted effort to blame the Republican House for everything that goes wrong, for not living up to promises, for living up to promises, for failing to compromise, for selling out, etc.Do not fall for it.  Holding the...

If you demand to see Obama's actual birth certificate, you will be called a "Birther."  It doesn't matter if your position is that anyone ascending to a constitutional office should provide the best evidence of constitutional qualification, you're a Birther.  It doesn't matter that you...

Someone please point me to a piece as puffy and fluffy as the one Ben Smith just wrote about Kamala Harris, the new Democratic Attorney General of California:It’s easy to understand why Kamala Harris, California’s next attorney general, is being called the future of the...

This post is not about The Coffee Party, because I know I'm not allowed to go there.This post is about Son of Coffee Party (emphasis mine):TV's Joe Scarborough, who today dismissed Sarah Palin as a symbol of "anti-intellectualism" with a "dopey dream" of being president, will...

When Howard Kurtz was at WaPo, I wasn't a big fan.I took Kurtz to task for being As Deep Inside The Beltway As It Gets for his slobbering love note to Chuckie T., notwithstanding that Kurtz did blow the whistle -- after the game was over -- on the...

Charles Krauthammer has lambasted the mainstream (i.e. liberal) media for its obsession with Sarah Palin.That goes double for liberal entertainers and academics, and triple for the left-blogosphere, which is nuts-in-the-head (that's a precise medical term in Austrian) when it comes to Palin.But this obsession is not a...

I alluded earlier today, in passing, to the idiocy of the left-wing blogs and some mainstream media outlets in making a big deal out of Sarah Palin's obvious slip of the tongue -- corrected seconds later -- in referring to North Korea instead of South Korea. ...

I was too busy voting for her to watch the performance.  I really want Bristol to win, so that Sally Quinn has a full blown conniption:My favorite story is that of 67-year-old Steven Cowan who couldn't stand it another minute and blasted his TV with...

I'll leave it to others to analyze the legal grounds for the TRO obtained by Sarah Palin and her publisher against the execrable people at Gawker.These are, after all, the same people who went after Meg Whitman's kids and bragged about it, who ran the "one-night stand" hit piece on...

I was a guest last Monday of Mark Finkelstein, who writes for NewsBusters, on his Ithaca-based television talk show, The Right Angle.We talked about Legal Insurrection, the elections, the vice-presidential and presidential candidates, and a lot about you know who.   The video is here.   Hopefully...

Via Howard Kurtz (who seems to me to be much more relaxed in his writing and worth reading since he left WaPo), comes a tale of infighting at NBC and MSNBC over Keith Olbermann's politicial contributions and personality:From the moment Olbermann was found to have...

The Daily Beast and Newsweek are getting married.  How fitting.  The epitome of the new-age left-wing journals which masquerades as quasi-news organization is acquiring (let's not kid around that it really is a merger of equals) with the dinosaur of left-wing opinion journals which --...

Not the Israelis, Jewish settlers, or American NeoCons.  No, fellow Arabs, via Israel National News, Arabs Stone Israel Ambulances Trying to Save Arab Boy (h/t):Jerusalem area Arabs once again have stoned two Israeli Magen David ambulances trying to help neighbors. This time, the medical rescue vehicles...

If Alan Grayson and Al Franken could do it, why not Keith?  Now that he is suspended indefinitely without pay by MSNBC for failing to disclose his campaign contributions to Democrats, Olbermann can become part of the team, instead of just watching from the bleachers.What other...

Or maybe, The Definitive "They Didn't See It Coming" Tweet; or The Definitive "They Don't Get It" Tweet; or The Definitive "Not Seeing The Forest For The Trees" Tweet.  Any other suggestions?You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows:Update: WaPo becomes...

Something I want to focus on after the election.Just thought I'd let you know in advance, so you have something to look forward to.--------------------------------------------Posts Which Are Not Related In Any Way To The Title Of This Post:Greg Sargent Demands, But Doesn't Give, Context for Alaska...

David Brock, the founder of Media Matters, has a really important demand which requires everyone's immediate attention:Media Matters' Brock challenges Palin to release tapes"Sarah Palin has made serious accusations of journalistic malfeasance. Either Palin accurately described the tapes, or she did not. America's news consumers...
