The LA Times glowingly extolling about the anti-stimulus “tea parties” and their connection to social media pisses me off more than you can imagine.  Let’s see what’s wrong with the first sentence and a haf of this crappy article: In the latest example of how user-produced m...

First impressions mean a lot.  In that vein, here’s the first paragraph from the front page story in today’s New York Times about Obama’s budget proposal, to be revealed later today: President Obama will propose further tax increases on the affluent to help pay for his promise to ...

The thing about the dead monkey cartoon that really stuck with me — is the fact that I was not surprised. I kind of expected it. I certainly expected the reaction from the right wing, who automatically began denying it had anything at all to do with race, was just another example of Rev. Al Sh...

How much you wanna bet that the only reason Jonathan Martin and Ben Smith cobbled together this rickety structure of baseless speculation about Obama and the potential (yes, potential) scandal that might (yes, might) arise (passive voice!) for the President-elect and certain members of his team, fol...

Novakula, Prince of Darkness, appears to be petulantly nursing a grudge like Phil Anselmo nurses a 40 of Jack Daniels: I’d go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin...
