Sources: John McCain Likely to Endorse Romney
That should seal the conservative vote right. And think of the field day the Obama campaign will have. The guy who can’t remember how many houses he owns endorsing the mega-millionaire investor. Over/under for number of mentions of 1% in the DNC’s first email: Five. Arizona Sen. John McCain, the GOP presidential nominee in 2008, [...]
WaPo: Obama Relied on Phony Statistics, Absurd Claims in His Kansas Speech
7. December 2011
No surprise there. His entire reelection campaign will rely on phony statistics and absurd claims. It’s the only way he has a shot at winning. The paper’s conclusion: The president does not need to lard his case with such suspect data. There are few independent tax analysts who have much good to say about the [...]
Surprise: Most Misogyny on MTV Comes from Women
7. December 2011
Ladies, it’s time to stop blaming guys for the trashy portrayal of women in media. At least on the pop culture hub MTV, it’s actually your fellow women to blame. Think most of the misogyny on MTV comes from men? Guess again, says a new study of the network’s shows, which finds women engage in [...]
Politico Discovers Left-Wing Institutions Aren’t That Pro-Israeli
7. December 2011
You don’t say. Someone catch me or surely I will faint.

Obama: Capitalism “Has Never Worked”
6. December 2011
Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States. “It’s a simple theory — one that speaks to our rugged individualism and healthy skepticism of too much government. It fits well on a bumper sticker. Here’s the problem: It doesn’t work,” Obama said of supply-side economics, drawing extended applause. “It’s never worked.” Individualism and a [...]

Obama to Kansas: It’s Great to be Here in Texas!
6. December 2011
Genius. When George Bush had brainfarts like this it was a sign of his idiocy. When Barack Obama has the same brainfarts it’s funny, obviously an innocent mistake, and covered up by those who don’t excuse it outright.
Obama Blames Internet, ATMs for Job Losses
6. December 2011
Anything to deflect blame from himself. Anything. “Layoffs too often became permanent, not part of the business cycle. And these changes didn’t just affect blue collar workers. If you were a bank teller or a phone operator or a travel agent, you saw many in your profession replaced by ATMs and the internet,” President Obama [...]
Bob Woodward: Being with Al Gore is Taxing, Unpleasant
6. December 2011
You don’t say. In a speech at the Organization for International Investment’s annual dinner at D.C.’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Thursday, the famed Washington Post journalist, who helped uncover the Watergate scandal, disclosed that he doesn’t enjoy the former vice president as a tablemate. Describing an event where he was paired up next to the monotone-talking [...]
Michele Bachmann: Bush, Gingrich are Socialists
