Poll: Boozman (R) Destroying Lincoln (D) In Arkansas
I use the term “destroying” because “beating” just doesn’t quite do the scenario justice. Representative John Boozman (R) isn’t simply leading Senator Blanche Lincoln (D) in the race for United States Senate in Arkansas. Boozman is leaving Lincoln in his dust trail: 65-27%. For those of you following along at home, that’s a thirty-eight point [...]
Desperation: First DNC Ad Focuses On Bush
20. August 2010
Democrats can’t run on their own record over the past two years in the White House or four years in Congress, so they’re resorting to attacking a man who hasn’t possessed any political power since last January. But is this even a good strategy? Bush is nowhere near as unpopular as he was when he [...]
Department of Justice Looking To Hire “Medicine Man”
20. August 2010
Well, the Department of Justice was looking to hire a “Native American Medicine Man”. Then the Drudge Report linked to the posting and the traffic flowed. Now the request has been changed to “Native American Services/Spiritual Guide”. Anyway, the necessary qualifications remain the same. Applicants — who will conduct ceremonies for prison inmates – must [...]
Hey, um, why hasn’t the Ground Zero mosque “developer” ever developed anything?
19. August 2010
Sharif El-Gamal, the man who has been identified as the “developer” for the Ground Zero mosque, has no traceable history of ever having developed anything but the Ground Zero mosque. The Politico‘s Maggie Haberman requested an explanation from El-Gamal. She received no response. The “developer” has previously claimed to have begun amassing real estate in [...]
Obama Isn’t As Smart As He Thinks…Or Has Been Told
19. August 2010
Jennifer Rubin has a superb posting up at Commentary’s Contentions blog. Rubin focuses on the subject of Barack Obama’s intellect. We’re constantly told that he’s some super-genius who has actually done well for the country. So why isn’t he more popular? The story goes that Americans are just too ignorant to pick up on his [...]

19. August 2010
Representative Joe Donnelly (D-IN) is facing a difficult re-election this November. The two-term incumbent is seeking another chance to represent Indiana’s 2nd congressional district — a constituency that consists of more Republicans than Democrats. The district was actually represented by Chris Chocola, now president of the Club for Growth, until 2006. As you can imagine, [...]
Retreat: Democrats Abandoning Cost-Cutting Pledge On ObamaCare
19. August 2010
Democratic leadership in Washington is acknowledging that promises of deficit reduction and costs cutting under the government-run health care legislation, rammed through Congress this year, were false and unfulfillable. According to Politico: Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, [...]
Russell Simmons: Christians Responsible for 1993 WTC Bombing
19. August 2010
Russell Simmons, the founder of hip-hop label Def Jam, appears to be a bit confused as to who was responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. While weighing-in on the Ground Zero mosque controversy on CNN (he supports the mosque), Simmons said we shouldn’t blame Muslims for the 9/11 attacks because we didn’t blame [...]
Roger Clemens to be indicted on perjury charges
19. August 2010
Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens will be indicted on perjury charges as early as today. The charges will stem from his testimony before Congress that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. Congress referred the case to the Department of Justice complete with a set of quotations and :additional evidence” that conflict with Clemens’ statements under [...]
Poll: Sixty Percent Say Congress Doesn’t Care What Voters Think
19. August 2010
Sixty percent of American voters believe members of Congress don’t care about what their constituents think. Just twenty-two percent of voters can say their Congressman cares about their concerns and beliefs. But more troubling for incumbents is the next result from the same poll: Sixty-two percent of voters believe the defeat of most incumbents in [...]
