Biden Cries About Tough Questions, Obama Campaign Throws Tantrum
For the first time this campaign, Joe Biden got some tough and fair questions from a local journalist. The results were hilarious. Biden sputtered and stammered and finally ended it in a fit of pique generally seen in infants and pampered Democratic politicians. Then the Obama campaign questioned the integrity of the reporter and canceled [...]
An Obama Adminstration Will Be Quite Taxing Indeed
If you’re at all interested in the tax proposals of both candidates, the Wall Street Journal has the best brief summary here. The shorter version is that if you have any ambition toward making six figures during a Barack Obama administration, you’re going to need to be very, very careful lest you trigger a blizzard [...]
The Curiously Incurious Media
Is there bias toward Barack Obama in the media? Well, of course there is. You’d have to be blind and deaf not to notice and even then there’s a fair chance that you’d sense the near-constant thrill running up many a journalistic leg. Michael Malone has noticed too. His notice is exceptional because he is [...]
Pittsburgh Woman’s Story of Attack is a Hoax (The Left’s Other Politically-Motivated Crimes The Past Month Are Not)
The young woman who reported that she had been mugged, beaten, and had the letter “B” scratched on her face admitted to the police that she made up the story. Which means that of the ten stories of political violence committed against John McCain supporters in the past month, nine are not hoaxes. I expect [...]
Taking on the Skeptics’ Objections to the Pittsburgh Attack
Don Surber, Michelle Malkin, and The Anchoress are among those urging caution on the story of the young woman attacked in Pennsylvania over her McCain bumper sticker. I’m going to provide the counterbalance here. They’re skeptical. I’m not. Quite frankly, I’m tired of giving the left the benefit of the doubt when it comes to [...]
Young Woman Attacked by a McCain Obama Supporter with a Knife (UPDATE: “Get in their face”? Yeah, This Qualifies)
Barack Obama and Joe Biden have been running across this country from end to end telling anyone who’ll listen how John McCain and Sarah palin have been inciting their crowds to violence. Reuters, the latest mouthpiece to speak for the Democratic ticket, warns that “Ugly election incidents show lingering U.S. racism” and cites three incidents. [...]
Come to Think of It, I’m Feeling a Bit “Non-Filerish”, too.
I have the feeling that if Barack Obama’s elected President, we’re going to see this reach epidemic proportion. Gov. Paterson’s chief of staff now says he owed nearly $300,000 in back taxes, $100,000 more than was previously known – and his lawyer blamed the problem on “non-filer syndrome.” Charles O’Byrne’s attorney, Richard Kestenbaum, mentioned the [...]
There’s a Difference Between Commerce and Coercion
I don’t think that Marc Ambinder is entirely serious about this post. He suggests that the McCain/Palin ticket can’t really criticize Barack Obama for being a socialist because: Palin taxed oil company profits and cut $1200 checks for every Alaskans. That’s spreading the wealth. Redistributing some money. The McCain campaign talks about Palin’s executive experience. [...]
