Peggy Noonan’s Confused Acquiescence
It has bugged me watching so many otherwise brilliant people contort their brains into pretzels in order to justify why they’re throwing Sarah Palin out of the Cool Kids’ Club. Peggy Noonan, Ken Adelman, Francis Fukayama, David Brooks, and others have decided to kick their old conservative principles to the curb and embrace the new [...]
“It’s the difference between coercion and free association and trade.”
David Harsanyi has a great column in the Denver Post today. It’s funny, but a good reminder of what awaits us if we’re foolish enough to buy the Obama hype. Obama laughs off the charge of socialist behavior — and to be fair, socialism isn’t the precise term to affix to his ideas. It’s more [...]
Obama Chucks Dissenting Voices off His Campaign Airplane
While Kimberly Strassel appears in the Wall Street Journal to give Republicans sage advice on how to further build the “Big Tent” for which it’s known, the Obama campaign is giving media outlets the bum’s rush. It has thrown reporters from the Washington Times, New York Sun Post, and Dallas Morning News off the campaign [...]
Tax Cuts for the Rich? Well, and the Middle Class, Too
Don’t believe Obama’s “Bush killed the working people with his tax cuts for the rich” hype. Don’t believe it for a second.

Another Republican for Obama
Jules Crittenden is going all-in for Obama. His reasons sound a lot better than the other pusillanimous Republicans (Parker, Will, Adelman, Noonanm, et. al.) who have gone over to the Chosen One. We’re at the point where each of us needs to look around and say, hey, what’s everyone else doing? Should I think about [...]

The early Nielsen ratings are in on the Obama Half Hour Informercial and Hootenanny and it’s not looking good for Team Obama. The combined overall household rating for Senator Barack Obama’s Wednesday night infomercial, in the top 56 local television markets where Nielsen maintains electronic TV meters, was 21.7.

Helen Jones-Kelley’s Flimsy Excuses for Invading Plumber Joe’s Privacy
Helen Jones-Kelly, the director of Ohio’s Department of Job and Family services admitted in a letter today that her agency did a lot more than simply check to see if Joe Wurzelbacher owed any child support. She also had her agency check to see if he was on unemployment or welfare. Her reasoning for doing [...]
Report: Obama Tossed Out a Couple Anti-Semitic Bombs at Farewell Dinner (Upate: Rashid Khalidi Really Was a PLO Mouthpiece)
Why won’t the Los Angeles Times release a video of Barack Obama at a farewell dinner for anti-Semitic genocide apologist Rashid Khalidi? According to Doug Ross, it’s because the tape contains a couple choice quotes from the Obamessiah that would effectively lose him the election. He has a solid source who has seen part of [...]
