Battle of the Obama Economic Advisers
I’m going to try something a little bit new with this post. I’ll present a story containing a ridiculous comment from an Obama staffer, then I’ll rebut it with comment from another Obama staffer. This should be fun. Seven months into the massive federal stimulus program, the vast majority of government grants, contracts and loans [...]
Crisis in South Carolina: Graham May Have to Remove His Head from McCain’s Posterior.
Jennifer Rubin couldn’t be any more spot-on with this post on how South Carolina is loving lukewarm senior Senator less and less each day. This contradicts the favorite narrative of Democrats and their media handmaidens, namely that in order to stay relevant, Republicans must compromise with Obama, move leftward, and adopt policies at odds with [...]
The Dour Nuns of Newsweek Try to Solve the Palin Problem
Ed Driscoll catches Newsweek engaging in some Rule 5 action to move a few more copies off the newsstands. He notes that the magazine’s circulation is swirling the bowl and hasn’t gotten any better since it’s become The Barack Obama Butt-Smooching Weekly. Keep in mind, as you read Newsweek’s headline that Maria wasn’t actually a [...]

The team was hardly perfect, especially the secondary in the first half, but the team made the adjustments it [...]
It’s the New Math (Hope and Change Version)
Total numbers of AP reporters assigned to comb Sarah Palin’s book for mistakes = 11. Total number of Soros-bots assigned to comb Rush Limbaugh’s shows for “mistakes” = 3. Total number of completely, entirely, scrupulously fair reporters assigned to comb Barack Obama’s two books for mistakes, to investigate confessions of serious drug use, or to [...]
Give It Up for Chocolate Thunder
Thirty years ago this week, Darryl Dawkins changed professional basketball forever by destroying a backboard. Now, when I say “destroy”, I don’t mean he shot it or blew it up in some sort of off-court stunt. I mean, he threw down a dunk so thunderous that the force of his wrists on the rim pulled [...]
Tea Partying, Florida-Style
The Tea Party movement is alive, well, and still confounding the powers that be. It is something of an ironic accident that the Tea Party Express tour’s final stop was here in Orlando. Florida has become the Alamogordo Test Range for the Tea Party movement’s mushrooming power, and this state’s Republican establishment may soon feel [...]
