Obama has a check for you. And you. And ...
Another day, another failed Obama attempt to dominate Twitter with a campaign-inspired hastag (see, #attackwatch). This time the hastag is #WeCantWait as in "we can't wait" for Republicans to approve whatever half-baked scheme Obama wants to push through Congress to prove that he is the "jobs...
Of course, the day started out as take your child to school, but the school turned it into a field trip to the otherwise sparsely populated Occupy Providence encampment, as tweeted by most excellent Rhode Island talk show host John DePetro: ...
Not long ago The Washington Post was digging up rocks from 30 years ago to find dirt about Rick Perry. Now WaPo is digging up immigration papers from 50 years ago about Marco Rubio's parents, Marco Rubio’s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show. The gist of WaPo's dramatic...

You know the trick, Obama's an expert at it. Create a straw man argument by presenting extreme choices, in order to make one of the choices seem like the only reasonable choice. It's also called being a "shorter," in internet parlance. Nicholas Kristof of The NY Times is...
Scrolling through The Daily News' live blog of the Occupy Wall Street protest in Times Square yesterday, this photo and caption jumped out at me: Student loan debt a hot topic among Times Sq. crowd. "Student loans screwed up my credit!" one protester screamed while Shakina Nayfack,...
This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: Dear Think Progress: For the past several years you have been playing the race and extremist cards on people who oppose Obama's policies, most particularly against the Tea Party movement and...
Looking at all the non-Romney candidates last night, I kept thinking, "Miss her yet?" (Note: If someone could do the graphic, I'd love to post it.) Particularly after this question and answer: TUMULTY: Congressman Gingrich -- Speaker Gingrich, Medicare is going broke. Consider the fact that half of...
I criticized Mitt Romney's campaign on the night of the Reagan Library debate for having a spokesman claim that Perry wanted to kill social security, linking to this tweet by John McCormack: The Romney campaign has been hitting similar themes for the past month. It's the...
Democrats and media helpers like Paul Krugman have been weaving a Tea Party eliminationist narrative for years. As pointed out by James Taranto, it looks like Democrats finally have found an eliminationist narrative they can believe in: Related: Worst. #OccupyWallStreet. Advice. Ever....
This is the latest in a serieson the use of the race card for political gain: #OccupyWallStreet has been the subject of numerous posts here, including the NY Times' poster child who wasn't, the influence of big labor, and the now-obligatory video of the anti-Jew guy. But...
Large law firms. Oh sure, they'll give thousands of pro bono hours fighting for the rights of Gitmo detainees, but remember why they are Large law firms. They have Large corporate clients including Large Banks and Large Investment Banks and Large Broker-Dealers who pay them Large Legal Fees so they...
Doubly good. First, because the tweet by CNN reporter Alison Kosik was hysterical, and second, because the humorless leftist reaction (added: here, here) to the tweet caused her to take it down, but it lives on because people grabbed screenshots. ...
#OccupyWallStreet is organized agitprop designed to deflect attention from the Obama administration's failings onto "Wall Street," although many of the participants don't understand how they are being used. The Washington Post now is fully aboard Team Obama, doing its best to take down Rick Perry this...
Also known as the Occupation of Perpetual Grievance. From perennial perennial, @IowaHawkBlog: Update: For a great post see Start the Revolution Without Me, by reader Teresa in Forth Worth: You say that you hate all of these big, evil corporations? Well don’t just stand there, show them that...
So where does last night's debate leave us? I'd say stage 4, although not all have made it that far: Denial √ In this stage, the world becomes meaningless and overwhelming. Life makes no sense. We are in a state of shock and denial. We go numb. Anger √ Be...
