- 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 [...]

Warren Buffet, The New Tax Man With New Math
With all this talk lately of Warren Buffet calling for “millionaires” to pay higher taxes (somehow that term includes not only the 237,000 people who actually DO make over a million dollars, but also another 3.92 million people who make more than $200K, calling the actual sneakily-used term severely into question), we should all... »

Ask Me No Questions, I’ll Tell You No Long-Winded, Bloated, Indulgent Lies
Anne E. Kornblut of The Washington Post has this great account of some poor woman who made the mistake of asking Obama about his decision to raise taxes on an already over-taxed nation only to get a 17-minute, 2,500-word rambling response (which all but answered the question): Even by President Obama’s loquacious standards, an... »
Your Tax Dollars To Teach About Martyrdom
In the last 15 years, your tax dollars has pumped $2.4 billion to the Palestinians for programs that supposedly “reduce poverty, improve health and education, create jobs and advance democracy.” This is all done through a program called “USAID”. Of course there is the obvious fact that there has been zero improvement in terms... »
High NYC Taxes Driving Wealthy Away
Conservative politicians have been saying this for the longest time: keep raising taxes and those who foot the biggest chunk of the bill are going to pack up and move where the burden is lighter. Well, now it’s backed up by some serious research: the Empire Center for New York State Policy (part of... »
Obama’s Poor Grasp Of The English Language
The Wall Street Journal today has a great piece summing up Obama’s uneventful weekend on the Sunday talk show circuit, in which the most newsworthy piece of news is that he apparently has no idea what the word “tax” means. While that is something of a relief (one can only imagine the variety of... »
Morality Expert Charlie Rangel a Hypocrite
Self-professed pursuer of morality, Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), is consistently on record for supporting tax hikes and has recently called paying higher taxes “the moral thing to do”. “Ever notice that those who endorse high taxes and those who actually pay them aren’t the same people?” Thus begins the Wall Street Journal’s compilation of... »
