This is seriously too funny, a great way to pick up what was not the best of days at work. You remember Howell Raines, right? He’s the guy who had to resign in disgrace as Executive Editor of the NY Times in the wake of the Jason Blair scandal. Now, he whines in the Washington […]

Here we go: Darwin Foes Add Warming to Targets Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation’s classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools. My first thought when I caught the headline and […]

Surprisingly, they are actually partially correct Watching your government at work can be an appalling spectacle. Politicians posture and bicker, and not much gets done.

By best, what is meant is a sad, lame, ridiculous, pathetic, weak, and grasping at straws argument The big Republican idea to bring down health-care costs is to “let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines.” Jon Chait has some commentary here, but I want to simplify a little bit. Insurance is currently […]

As each month of Jimmy Carter’s second term passes (it might actually be an insult to Jimmy Carter to make that comparison), the apparatus of state is losing its hold on the state run media.

Remember when Obama called for the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? Remember how it was discussed briefly, then most moved on? Yeah, us folks on the right are bigots because we didn’t discuss it enough, says Frank Rich: Smoke the Bigots Out of the Closet A funny thing happened after Adm. Mike Mullen called […]

Heck, even the postal service shut down for this monster storm, but, alas, the press corps had to follow Obama around, and are whining about the danger Photographers in the White House press corps experienced two dangerous moments on Saturday while covering President Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Committee’s Winter Meeting. Reporters ventured […]
