The Dow at 7,114 yesterday? Wow. This is the worst market I can remember, and according to MSN, is at the lowest point since 1997. Generally, the usual suspects in the media have almost considered it a non-story or talked about it in vague terms as being tied to the “global malaise”. MSN cuts a [...]

The hearings to confirm Timothy F. Geithner as Treasury Secretary continue today, and of course, the topic to be overlooked and explained away will be his tax delinquency. Why? I don’t know. The tax issue brought up in connection with “Joe the Plumber” seemed to have been crystal clear and worthy of full condemnation and [...]

“What makes you think you can represent upstate?” she was asked.
“Well as I, first of all this was a great visit and I’ve already learned a lot and I want to come back,” Kennedy said.
The question came again: What have you learned?
“It’s a process so I just hope everybody understands this is not a campaign, [...]
I knew this was coming, I just didn’t expect it so soon. Both Democratic presidential contenders have promised to tax the hell out of the rich in order to make the system even more “fair”. Seems like an easy sell, especially when they’ve both been going out of their way to fan the flames of [...]

John F. Harris and Jim VandeHei of the Politico blog talk in depth about the media’s bias toward Obama, and the firestorm that ABC ignited by daring to ask questions that made Obama feel uncomfortable.
The shower of indignation on Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos over the last few days is the clearest evidence yet that the [...]
If you need an example of how well the government manages healthcare, read Marie Cocco of the Washington Post and her indictment of the care that our soldiers have gotten from the VA.
It has been more than a year since The Washington Post reported on nightmarish conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and recounted the [...]

Make up your mind for yourself – Obama and the other Democratic operatives have been using this as a smear to prove that McCain is a warmonger and a hack, and is calling for 100 years of war in Iraq. Mr. McCain is having a conversation with a bearded gentleman that he refers to as [...]

Hillary Clinton got caught in another lie; repeating a thirdhand account of an Ohio woman who lost her baby because she didn’t have $100 or health insurance.
“I’ll tell you a quick story that I heard in Ohio when I was campaigning there,” she said. “A deputy sheriff told me about a young woman who worked [...]

I’m a more regular reader of the Huffington Post than I’d like to admit. Some of it is the “trainwreck, can’t look away” factor reading some of the ruly unhinged authors like Nora Ephron and the others, but they do have some very well written, thoughtful posts from time to time.
The Huffington Post derives some [...]
