Freak Show: Levi Johnston Files For Political Campaign
Best part: He can now officially accept donations for his campaign. For which office is he running? TMZ reports that the papers don’t specify. Officially speaking, the kid can’t make up his mind. So: Who wants to be the first donor to the campaign of a “redneck” who quickly turned on his own family and [...]
Federal Judge Blocks Embryonic Stem Cell Research Funding
23. August 2010
A federal judge has blocked federal funding of embryonic stem cell research following a legal challenge by researchers who say the process involves the destruction of human embryos. Federal law still prohibits the public funding of human embryo destruction, but the Obama Administration issued new guidelines permitting federal funds for embryonic stem cell research. Judge [...]
Audio Reveals Extremist Views Of Ground Zero Mosque Imam
23. August 2010
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is the supposedly moderate leader of the Ground Zero mosque, itself supposedly dedicated to a moderate version of Islam. Defenders of the mosque tell us that Rauf and his project will help beat back Islamic extremism and that any opposition to the mosque is a victory for extremists who would like [...]
Obama’s Weekly Approval Average: 43%
23. August 2010
Barack Obama’s job approval rating average for the week of August 16th-August 22nd was down a percentage point from the week before, hitting just 43%. For the first time during his presidency, his average disapproval reached 50%.

Dem Senate Nominee Blumenthal Lied About PAC Money
23. August 2010
It appears that Dick Blumenthal has been caught lying…again. The Democratic Senate nominee from Connecticut has claimed in the past that he has never accepted political contributions from political action committees (PACs). Federal records tell a far different story. Richard Blumenthal’s words are haunting him again. Already forced to apologize for saying he had served [...]
Legal Because It’s Not Illegal: NYT Logic
22. August 2010
Via Ramesh Ponnuru at National Review, you’ve got to love this golden quote from yesterday’s New York Times editorial. But many of Mr. DeLay’s actions remain legal only because lawmakers have chosen not to criminalize them. His actions were only legal, you see, because no one had taken the time to make them illegal. He’s [...]
Blago: I’ll Call Rahm, Reid, Menendez To Testify
22. August 2010
I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s not that I doubt Blago will try to subpoena the trio. I just doubt that the judge will permit the media circus testimony of three powerful Democrats in an election year. Yeah, I know. Political impartiality in the courtroom. If you actually believe that, I’ve got a [...]
Wyclef Jean Barred From Haiti Election
21. August 2010
Honestly, I haven’t been following the story. Apparently Wyclef Jean, whose charity has a history of some shady financial dealings, was going to utilize good will earned during the Haitian earthquake (he helped raise money) and run for president. Well, he’s been barred from the election. Why? The election bureau, which evidently decides who can [...]
Wikileaks Founder Wanted For Rape, Molestation In Sweden
21. August 2010
This is the guy who risked the lives of countless Americans and Afghans in pursuit of his anti-war, anti-American political objective. He’s accused innocent American troops of war crimes, even editing footage to further the narrative. He’s also a former hacker. Once a sleeze bucket, always a sleeze bucket. Stockholm, Sweden (CNN) — The founder [...]
Federal Judge: Those Somali Pirates Can’t Be Charged As Pirates
20. August 2010
This is why we don’t fight the war on terrorism in the courtroom. It is widely accepted that the Somali pirates are, oddly enough, pirates. They take ships and their crews hostage, demand ransom payments, and then flee with their loot. The village idiot understands that these guys are pirates. Unfortunately, we have too many [...]
