If baldfaced political hackery were an Olympic sport, Nancy Pelosi would have so much hardware around her neck that Mr. T or Flava Flav would spontaneously immolate themselves in white-hot flames of pure jealousy. Not all that long ago, Speaker Pelosi called the pretty average men and women of the Tea Party movement a bunch […]
Stiff Upper Lip, thy name is Desiree. WASHINGTON–White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers told me Friday she will step down next month, after presiding over 330 events in the White House in 14 months. Rogers is departing after achieving a major goal of President Obama and First Lady Michelle — opening up the White House […]
I have another post over at News Real Blog in which I cast gentle aspersions on the President’s knowledge of automobile insurance. Normally, being the kind and gentle blogger that I am, I’d let it pass. But the President’s sad story of A Boy And His Clunker And the Mean Old Insurance Company really did […]
Lance Burri is running another Motivator contest and I think he may have won the thing right out of the box. However, that doesn’t stop me from trying. UPDATE: Smitty’s in with a musical throwback plus one.
I don’t know who Charlie Brooker is, but I’m guessing, based on this revelatory report he’s now living under a new identity. He had to have been whisked away to a witness protection program lest he be torn apart by a horde of enraged television reporters frantic to preserve the myth that theirs is a […]

Combined, 59 Democrats sit on these panels, which command enough power to fatally cripple the company by seriously restricting its ability to sell cars in the United States. Here’s the kicker. Of those 59 Democrats, 31 have received campaign […]
Episode 26 of The Delivery is ready to roll at all the usual hip spots where all the cool kids get their podcasts. My guest this week was the superior blogger and broadcaster Stephen Green. Originally, I had intended to spend a half-hour talking with him in the second half about his great post about […]
For most of my life, I’ve heard jive that conservatives are dour, humorless scolds whose faces would shatter like peanut brittle if they cracked the faintest glimmer of a grin. Well, nuts to that. If you don’t think that’s funny, I’m afraid your sense of humor is just broken.
John Hawkins is, for my money, the hardest working political blogger on the internet. He hustles like no one I’ve ever seen to line up interviews with people most other bloggers never touch (like Thomas Sowell) and runs not just one heavily-updated blog but two. He’s also generous with his time (he frequently guests on […]
