One indication that moonbattery is not just misguided but evil is that progressives have an obsession with corrupting children. This is why, under our Hopey Changey regime of pure moonbattery, our federal “Safe Schools Czar” is a militant pervert associated with NAMBLA. It’s also the reason for this: A new report by the International Planned Parenthood [...]

Politico Glosses Over Murtha's Haditha Smear

NewsBusters  | Links  | Related | Feb 09, 2010 10:14 AM EST   [*New!*]

David Rogers glossed over the late Rep. Jack Murtha's (D-Pa.) Haditha Marines smear in an obituary published yesterday and updated this morning at Politico : Rather than lie low, Murtha further made himself a target with public comments in the spring of 2006 pressuring the Marine command to investigate allegations of civilian casualties at Haditha, Iraq. This infuriated many Marines, and critics argued that the congressman had become more partisan himself out of loyalty to Pelosi. But Murtha went beyond pressing for a formal military investigation, which is a legitimate call any congressman could and should make after an incident like Haditha. The former Marine practically declared the Marines at Haditha guilty by saying they have killed 'in cold blood.'   Yet Murtha's baseless smear is not...

The Daily Grind

The future of journalism? Laid-off Washington Times sports reporter asks for cash to cover Nats. Amnesty International, and another scandal for the human-rights community: 'A human-rights organization has suspended an employee for complaining about the organization’s partnership with a terrorist.' Nanny-in-Chief. The fanciful idea of nuclear abolition: 'Would-be nuclear powers like Iran do not need the pretext of American or French or Russian or Chinese nuclear capability to acquire their own weapons; they want them regardless for the power and influence they bring. Arguing that nuclear abolition makes attempts to stop proliferation more credible—as President Obama has done repeatedly in speeches from Prague to the United Nations—simply plays into the morally specious arguments of...

Stephen Colbert Says 'Sarah Palin Is A F**king Retard'

NewsBusters  | Links  | Related | Feb 09, 2010 10:08 AM EST

The media's hate parade against the former governor of Alaska hit a disgraceful peak Monday night when comedian Stephen Colbert said on national television, 'Sarah Palin is a f**king retard.' In a five minute segment bashing the former vice presidential candidate for her remarks at Saturday's National Tea Party convention, as well as her use of crib notes -- surprise! -- the Comedy Central star ended with the controversy surrounding White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel's 'retard' comment. After playing a clip of Palin telling Chris Wallace on 'Fox News Sunday' that Rush Limbaugh's use of the word was acceptable because it was satire, Colbert concluded, 'It is okay to call someone a retard if like Rush you clearly don't mean it' (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, vulgarity alert): ...

Obama Has Learned Nothing

Worldwide Standard  | Links  | Related | Feb 09, 2010 10:06 AM EST

Mark Halperin says David Brooks's column today 'cracks the code of the Obama White House.' What does the decrypt reveal? Here's what: The atmosphere in the White House appears surprisingly tranquil. Emanuel is serving as a lighting rod for the president but remains crisply confident in his role as chief of staff. It’s true that several top administration officials did not want to attempt comprehensive health care reform this year. But they are not opening recrimination campaigns. It’s no secret that many think the president needs to be more assertive with Congress, yet administration officials still talk about Obama in awestruck tones, even in private. Some would say the administration is underreacting to the incredible shift in the public mood. Some would say they need more voices from the...

Charlie Crist Crisis: Hand-picked Chair Gouged Party With Secret Contract

Riehl World View  | Links  | Related | Feb 09, 2010 09:51 AM EST

I'd say the odds look pretty good you can stick a fork in Charlie Crist . And this news won't do him any favors if he's thinking of running as an Independent. Btw, it also looks like a good day for that Marco Rubio moneybomb . But even the biggest critics of Gov. Charlie Crist's hand-picked chairman were stunned by revelations that he entered into a lucrative secret contract with a stealth company set up by his most loyal aide de camp, 30-year-old Johnson, a former Crist campaign aide. The contract would pay Johnson a 10 percent commission on all major donations to the state Republican Party. As a volatile election season gets under way, the Republican Party of Florida is facing its biggest crisis of confidence in decades. Donors and party activists are livid over newly revealed records that...

My own back condition has evolved. Up and about, in physical therapy, headed in to work for the first time today, freedom of movement largely recovered. Speaking of nerve, though, anyone [...]
