There isn’t anything I love more than a little superfluous drama queen indignation with my morning coffee and bacon. New Republic writer Eliza Gray concludes that the reason you see so many women in second banana positions on television is
Andrea Mitchell named the tea party movement as her pick for “person” of the year: They’ve changed the debate on deficit reduction. They’ve got, you’ve got Ron Paul now in charge of monetary policy from the House. They have changed
I was live on air wrapping up my radio show Friday afternoon when I caught the image of Bill Clinton standing behind the presidential podium, in front of the presidential seal. Realizing that Clinton looked much older than for this

Big Government has the story on how a Democratic lawmaker condemned the President with the verbalization of the one finger salute during a House caucus meeting. One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f– the president” while Rep.
Bill Sammon, manager of Fox’s Washington Bureau, sent out an email instructing staff to call the “public option” the “government option.” Renaming government projects and entities to falsely reflect public ownership (and suggest choice, when in fact, there is none)

We have to cut something to pay for the extra 13 months of unemployment benefits! (Especially as we wait for tax cut revenue to replenish the coffers, though the coffers would fill up more and quicker if we had more
Conservatives have long been silently known as the “more liberal givers” despite the slacktivist narrative to the contrary. I can’t count a single conservative of my acquaintance that doesn’t include charitable work in their list of priorities. If we don’t
Al Sharpton is on a censorship mission to abridge the free speech of anyone who would dare criticize the platform that keeps him in the realm of relevancy. His sight is set upon Rush Limbaugh and recently on MSNBC he

Originally, I wrote that using “terrorist” to describe Julian Assange was hyperbole. Of course, this was before he double-downed. After this stunt, it’s difficult to argue that he’s not behaving like a terrorist: The founder of WikiLeaks has warned that
It’s like watching the Little Engine That Could, the way Charles Blow slowly comes to the realization that all the negativity that progressives have been heaping upon Sarah Palin is actually – GASP – helping her. Why? Because they came
I’ve been saying this for months: appeal to the egos of any coalition and exploit the cracks. People always choose self-preservation over the greater good, most of the time, with the belief that self-preservation is the greater good. Newsweek provides

First, I’ll say right out of the gate that I think the term “terrorist” applied to Julian Assange is a bit much. Jerkwad scavenger, yes. Analogous to generations of terror and murder for a faith that believes it’s OK to
Jim Wallis, the Founder and Editor of Sojourners’ Magazine, had this to say of conservatives and the President: “Fox News has been the assassin of Obama’s religion … a religious assasination of Barack Obama by the far right.” I wonder
Never before in history has a superpower lost control of such vast amounts of such sensitive information — data that can help paint a picture of the foundation upon which US foreign policy is built. Never before has the trust
I should explain again as I do every week to the viewers as a kind of a viewer’s guide that this is the weekly Sarah Palin segment in which the impression is given that the whole of conservatism in America
Yes, because this sure wasn’t doing the trick: Leave it to NPR to pick up the tingles where Chris Matthews left off: It took 12 stitches to close The First Fat Lip, if you please. I’m not sure that Joe
I’m sure you’re familiar with the “It gets better” campaign circulating in Hollywood wherein celebrities tape PSAs with an anti-bullying message and the videos are released on YouTube. Personally, my anti-bullying message would be to knock a bully on his
The ladies of “The View” discussed National Opt Out Day, which took place on November 24th, wherein passengers boycotted the – as O’Reilly once called them – “super naked scanners” to send a message about respecting our civil liberties to

I studied dance for about 15 years, various disciplines, with classical ballet as my primary. Growing up I had lessons six days a week, planned to study ballet before journalism, and as a kid I even competed, once vomiting backstage
No problem, glad to be here. Oh God, travel was just atrocious. I smell like brimstone, which confuses people because they think I’m hiding a fire-starting device. They should’ve just had Iowahawk do it. *UPDATE – From the comments: Vanity

Bill O’Reilly is smooth. He’s one of very few broadcasters I know who can squeeze a weeks-long news cycle from one incident and make it entertaining regardless the time stamp. Silk purse from a sow’s ear, if you please. Perfectly
I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things on earth is when foreigners, ensconced in liberal bubbles, possessing zero understanding of segment of America’s population, extrapolate theories to fill the voids of knowledge. Perhaps I’m kicking off

One of my favorite arguments from the left revolves around women in business and the notion that if socio-progged women don’t get their way then all women are doomed. When Democratic women weren’t doing well in primaries leftist pundits from
And they were worried about the appearance of political donations.
There is nothing more amusing than when two people known for being non-objective argue over objectivity . This is the summation of Keith Olbermann vs Ted Koppell. Koppell name-checked Olbermann in his Washington Post editorial, writing: To witness Keith Olbermann
It was only a matter of time before the nutroots at Huffington Post would resort to desperation and utter ridiculousness in their frenzied Bush-bashing; behold, the unintentionally comical headline atop Huffington Post: Before we go into the nitty gritty, can
