I’m not going to even get into the whole race issue – I think that Jimmy Carter reading race into Joe Wilson’s “Liar!” outburst over Obamacare and illegals aliens says more about Jimmy Carter than it does about Joe Wilson.
But for Carter to claim now that the office of the president should be treated with [...]

I wonder, sometimes, just how stupid that President Obama imagines us to be. In some of the frenzied speeches he’s making, he’s claiming that the federal deficit was brought on by the Bush tax cuts and Republican spending. No. The “surplus” that President Obama bemoans the loss of was history once the stock market began to [...]

Newsweek, in analyzing the administration’s loss of momentum, comes to a couple of startling conclusions: the President is getting bogged down because he’s been too generous with the Republicans, and they’ve betrayed his bipartisonship. That in itself is amazingly pedantic, but even more jaw-dropping is Michael Hirsh’s assertion that because the stimulus package is huge, and an [...]

This is how liberty dies—with thunderous applause.” — Padmé Amidala
Being a former National Guardsman myself, and having done disaster recovery plans, I was disgusted by the media’s coverage of the Katrina debacle. Clearly, the first line responders are local and state; it’s ludicrous, at least it used to be, to imagine that the federal government [...]

The AP reports that President Obama has set out boldly on his new strategy to transform the US image abroad, and bring peace and understanding to the Middle East by the simply changing what things are called.
“War on Terror” is losing the war of words.
The catchphrase burned into the American lexicon hours after the attacks [...]
James Taranto does a daily feature in the Wall Street Journal called “Best of the Web”. If you’re not reading it, you should be. On Wednesday, he noted the media’s propensity to breathlessly report every Obama move, every Obama comment as a break with the Bush administration. And they should know, right? They reported on [...]

Caught this via Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report. Here’s the excerpt from The Hill:
The crowd packed on the west side of the Capitol grounds serenaded President Bush in mocking fashion when he took to the inaugural stage alongside Vice President Dick Cheney.
“Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good-bye,” a section of the crowd chanted.
The [...]

Happy Inauguration Day. Michael Berry on Houston’s KTRH had an interesting segment on talk radio yesterday about whether the vision has been fulfilled, whether MLK’s dream has been realized. Well, it’s hard to argue that things haven’t changed; we’re swearing in a black president today. I know that race is not supposed to be an issue, [...]

Regarding the shoe toss at President Bush, several commentators have made the point that had the shoes been tossed at Saddam or just about any other leader in the Middle East, the tosser would have been executed. The irony that the Americans he despised earned him the right to dissent was apparently lost on great [...]
Just got done reading the AP coverage of the latest tape released by al Qaeda’s number two in command. He had very little good to say about our execution of the war. I was impressed, however, by the AP’s use of snarky little editorial comments to support the main ideas of the text. It was a nice [...]
