Robert Redford Hypocrite, a short film produced and directed by Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, exposes Robert “Sundance” Redford’s environmentalism as little more than a tap dance, perhaps designed to endear himself to wealthy Hollywood liberals, especially ones who might
Chris Matthews once again embarrasses himself with an unhinged and ill-informed attack on Rep. Michele Bachmann in this clip. The entire basis for his idiotic attacks, repeatedly calling her a “balloonhead,” stems from Bachmann claiming that the Founders, also mentioning
Most realize that Eric Boehlert, Media Matters’ chief media nutter and Podesta bottle washer, misfires more often that a recently paroled bank robber getting his first lap dance in some seedy downtown dive. Such was the case on January 14
In yet one more pathetic, wrong-headed bit of sophistry from fat-headed know nothing, Jonathan Martin at Politico, we’re supposed to believe that his insipid blathering passed off as wisdom means the recent tragedy in Arizona is about former Governor Sarah
Like a stiff, stuffed and somewhat corpulent Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, one can easily imagine Arizona sheriff Clarence Dupnik informing ABC producers that he thought he was ready for his close-up. Objective observers looking in on this low-level political
Given that at least two of my recent web postings on the race for RNC Chair dealing with Reince Priebus’ unsuitability for that particular job have made it into emailed discussion threads among all RNC Committee members, I’d like to
I’m hard-pressed to understand why a producer for the Laura Ingraham Show would misleadingly push an audio clip of Ann Wagner on her show today discussing illegal immigration as seemingly damaging. In the first place, Ingraham is certainly savvy enough
Someone sent along a link to Ed Morrisey’s Hot Air post on a USS Enterprise video kerfuffle I haven’t been following. When I first saw Captain’s Quarters years ago, the old naval battleships in the banner left, in my opinion
Team Steele promised something akin to a prize fight at the recent RNC Chairmanship debate. A Steele insider tells Power Play that the embattled chairman will “name names” and “make it personal” when he faces off with the four candidates
It’s ironic and a bit sad that Glenn Greenwald, who first gained notoriety out here in 2006 for being exposed as a sock puppet and a liar, would be ranting about Wired’s handling of the story of PFC Bradley Manning’s

There’s something curiously missing from this story on Chicago’s Mantu Dance Company. It may be the only time the company has made big news without a mention of Barack and Michelle Obama in years. One can only imagine the headlines

Of course the Society of Professional Journalists would have a “Diversity Committee.” How else could liberals continue on with the thought policing of which they became so fond in college? Now, according to the SPJ’s The Quill, they think the
Buried within the news that Jim Bopp is endorsing Reince Priebus for RNC chair, one discovers how an antiquated rule meant to demonstrate the importance of women within the GOP has helped to change the GOP’s image from the leader
It seems fair to ask, when one uses standard liberal catch-phrasing, volunteers for an organization like the NAACP, becomes party to an eminent domain lawsuit to take property from a small business on behalf of the government and is linked
On Wednesday, I wrote about the Reince Priebus stimulus problem. Yesterday, Redstate, which usually hunts RINOs, decided to carve out some of its valuable real estate to defend Priebus with an overly nuanced post. I wouldn’t exactly call it a
Several Thanksgivings ago an uncle of mine, an accomplished full Professor at a leading university, as well as an avid sportsman, made an interesting comment I’ve never forgotten. To paraphrase, Walt Disney’s 1942 classic, Bambi, was the beginning of the
Reince Priebus is currently being touted as a front-runner to replace current RNC Chair Michael Steele. But Priebus’ leading role among a select group of high-powered Wisconsin attorneys targeting clients to assist them in maximizing stimulus dollars, at the same
When news first broke of an alleged LGBT-based hate crime at Harvard University, Harvard and the usual suspects on the Left were quick to cry bias, or hate crime. However, new facts and some curious unanswered questions are raising troubling
One can imagine the screeds emanating from the media half-wits that mutter at Media Matters for America (MMFA) had an Andrew Breitbart blogger been accused of incest; however, it appears that Arianna Huffington has not just one, but at least
From a blog post by Stacy McCain, it appears that Palin-hating Huffington Post blogger and Ivy League Professor, David Epstein stands accused of maintaining a 3-year incestuous relationship with his daughter. The daughter is said to have been over 18
One key to understanding the Pigford travesty is realizing how Barack Obama came to the point where today he is giving away billions in taxpayer dollars for potentially fraudulent Pigford-related claims. What may have begun as a legitimate 100 million
As Barack Obama prepares to sign an alleged landmark settlement to right previous wrongs dealt black farmers by the USDA, it’s important to realize that this is less a story about race, or discrimination, than it is a textbook case
With Obamacare likely to remain front and center in the political debate going into 2012, the GOP could find itself in a real bind attacking it if a former Pfizer lobbyist who helped push Obamacare, Maria Cino, ends up heading
How low can Sean Penn and his Hollywood helpers stoop when it comes to manufacturing convenient political fiction dressed up as fact for the tarnished silver screen? When you see an editorial in the Washington Post that’s this bad, this
Texas Representative Ron Paul is routinely painted as fringe, or a lunatic, at least in part for his long-standing call to audit the Federal Reserve. As the financial crisis of 2008 – 2009 played out, a compliant liberal mainstream media
The exclusive picture below is via a source in the House. It seems that just as his colleagues appear prepared to censure disgraced Rep. Charles Rangel, he has decided to capitalize upon the deaths of NYC residents who gave their
Yesterday, FreedomWorks and the Conservative Steering Committee brought together four top contenders to potentially replace Michael Steele as head of a cash-strapped RNC. While the race is presumably wide-open and the event may have little bearing on how it ultimately
While Wikileaks’ Julian Assange is much in the news, there’s been very little written about the individual and the forces that likely played a role in shaping him. Certainly he’s bright enough and claims to embrace some new form of
Former President Jimmy Carter didn’t start out bashing the media, as he often does today. In fact, prior to the election of Barack Obama, and after the media’s early-sixties love affair with all things Kennedy, it was Jimmy Carter’s turn
Howard Kurtz recently interviewed former President Jimmy Carter on CNN’s Reliable Sources. Unless there is some significant portion of the interviewing missing from the video, it has to do down as one of the most glaring oversights in the history
[Ed. Note: I just want to welcome Dan Riehl to Big Hollywood. If I have anything to say about it, you’ll be seeing a lot more of him . — JN] Depending upon your age, you might remember charging up
Via an op-ed in the New York Times, Congressional Quarterly staff writer, Brian Friel, offers the incoming GOP-controlled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee some suggestions as to what they perhaps should and should not consider investigating next year. What’s

In the wake of a Big Government exclusive report featuring audio of CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA-TV staffers seemingly plotting potentially damaging scenarios for Alaska Republican Joe Miller’s Senate campaign, the station has been forced to cancel two evening news broadcasts,

Obama’s bipartisan commission on reducing the federal debt is much in the news today for a draft listing proposed cuts to government spending. They could impact taxes, medicare and social security if adopted. Scrolling down through the document to item
Big Journalism called out Arianna Huffington’s Post for an ethics violation on October 27th by pointing out their role in manufacturing a smear aimed at Libertarian philanthropist Charles Koch, while pretending to simply be reporting it. Unfortunately, the White House
There’s a battle brewing over Earmark reform in the Senate, and Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma appears ready to make it very public. Inhofe has emerged as the chief opponent to DeMint’s anti-earmarking efforts and has quietly been preparing for
