- Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin
March 28, 2011
I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...] - More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias
March 24, 2011
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...] - Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”
March 24, 2011While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
- Obama’s Abu Ghraib
March 21, 2011The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]
- Sympathy For Israel? Time To Restore “Balance”!
March 16, 2011
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]

Huma May Have Bad Taste in Men, But She’s Not Crazy
In the midst of all this speculation regarding Anthony Weiner’s potential resignation decision and his wife’s role in it, the WSJ’s James Taranto is the only commentator who actually makes sense by pointing out the absurdity of expecting his wife to “talk him into resigning”. He writes: House Democrats are anxious to be rid... »
The Waterboarding Debate Continues
James Taranto posted this great piece in his Best of the Web Today column on the WSJ site: Administration officials and sympathizers have continued to fire back against the argument that the Osama bin Laden raid vindicates the Bush administration’s use of enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding. As we noted Friday, the counterarguments have... »
Liberals Jump on Birther Bandwagon
James Taranto of the WSJ’s Best of the Web Today is reporting on three new partisan commentators taking up the cause for the release of Obama’s archival birth certificate. He writes: Three partisan commentators are calling on the state of Hawaii to release President Obama’s archival birth certificate, Mediaite reports. What makes this worthy... »
Ditch The Stupid Car Already, Obama!
By now, we’ve all heard Obama’s car analogy ad nauseam. It’s getting so elaborately bad that I seriously think that Obama and his advisers and speechwriters must be either brain dead… or just that they don’t watch any TV or read any newspapers to know that the whole country is sick of this stupid-to-begin-with... »
Start Locking Your Backyard Gates…
Check out this hilarious commentary that James Taranto of the WSJ sent out as part of his Best of the Web Today on Wednesday: The president’s efforts to “educate” the ignorant public have been unyielding. The Washington Post reports on the latest: Obama was raised in a condominium apartment, and later he lived as... »
The Summer of George
James Taranto relates a great Obama-Seinfeld comparison in today’s Best of the Web Today column on the WSJ site: Reader Daniel Loomis sends along his capsule summary of “The Summer of George,” the eighth-season finale of “Seinfeld,” which aired May 15, 1997: “George uses his severance from the Yankees to stimulate the perfect summer–the ‘Summer... »
Bloomberg: “Islam did not attack the World Trade Center, al Qaeda did”
James Taranto, in his WSJ Best of the Web Today column last week, commented on Mayor Bloomberg’s asinine comments regarding the Ground Zero Mosque: Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, has an op-ed in today’s New York Post defending the Ground Zero mosque. Actually, the Post informs us, it’s an adaptation of “Bloomberg’s... »
“White House” or “Animal House”?
James Taranto had this hilarious commentary today (under the title, “American Nero”) in his Best of the Web Today column: President Obama has been coming in for a lot of Jimmy Carter comparisons recently, but Fox News’s John Gibson, writing in the New York Post, points out one way in which the 44th president’s style... »
Health Care Bill Cost Coverup!
James Taranto writes in today’s WSJ Best of the Web Today about the damning report publicized by The American Spectator two days ago, implicating Obama and Democrats in what is clearly a health care bill coverup—where they worked together to ram through and sign the bill before evidence of its true costs to consumers... »
“Where do we get the free Obama care?”
Margaret Talev of McClatchy Newspapers is reporting on all the people who are completely confused about Obama’s health care bill and are wondering when their “free health care” kicks in. She writes: Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and... »
ObamaCare and Eugenics
James Taranto writes a particularly insightful piece today describing what could quite credibly be a slippery slope towards eugenics for the Democrats’ healthcare bill. In fact, it is particularly frightening just how credible it all is: National Review’s Bob Costa catches up with Rep. Bart Stupak, the Michigan Democrat who, although not opposed to ObamaCare,... »
Paul Krugman vs. Paul Krugman
Last Friday, James Taranto had this hilarious observation in his Best of the Web Today column of Paul Krugman arguing with his past self: Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman takes note in his New York Times column of what he calls “the incredible gap that has opened up between the parties”: Today, Democrats and... »
Buh-Bayh
Here’s one more gem from James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today: See if you can guess the topic of the New York Times op-ed piece whose first paragraph is this: Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical... »
Obama’s Racket
James Taranto wrote such a great piece in today’s Best of the Web Today, that I simply have to include the entire section that I found so appealing here: “Audiences Hate Modern Classical Music Because Their Brains Cannot Cope”: an arresting headline from London’s Sunday Telegraph. This is the argument of a new book,... »
Amherst, MA: Nuttyville, USA
The Boston Globe has this doozy of a story: The western Massachusetts university town of Amherst is mulling a resolution urging the Congress to release cleared Guantanamo Bay detainees into the United States and calling for the town to welcome those detainees into the community. The town’s Select Board voted 2-1 Monday night to... »
