CNN Headline: “Candidates make appeal to anti-abortionists”
Charming. The article, by the way, is about Republican candidates attending a pro-life film by Mike Huckabee. Pretty innocuous and not exactly out of the mainstream in Iowa. But “this is CNN” so we have to describe those who favor protections for the unborn not as pro-life but “anti-abortionists”. Ace notes how misleading the headline [...]
Breaking: Democrats Drop Tax Hike Demand
14. December 2011
CNN, citing Democratic sources, is reporting that the White House and Democratic members of Congress have dropped their demand for tax hikes on investors and businesses.

Occupy Freak Places 4-Year-Old on Train Tracks to Shut Down Port
14. December 2011
They’re just like you and me! You know, if you or I were so dedicated to shutting down capitalistic economic activity that we’d place our young children on railroad tracks. Ninety-nine percent! She says she did it because she has faith in humanity. But apparently not enough faith to place herself on the tracks or [...]
Ron Paul: I’m old and may not be able to last a long primary
14. December 2011
I’m not sure telling potential supporters that you’re old and may not be able to hold up through a long primary, much less a general election, is a good electoral strategy. “I’m not looking forward to anything being long and protracted. So I hope it ends rather quickly and we do real well in the [...]
Obama Campaign Now Collecting Republican Email Addresses to Spam
14. December 2011
Really. “Know someone on Facebook or Twitter who, day after day, populates your feed with the latest right-wing talk-radio chatter?” Smoot wrote in the email. “Today, we’re offering you the opportunity to make a donation to the Obama campaign inspired by your favorite conservative friend or relative.” Obama’s campaign website now offers donors a chance [...]
As Israel Defended Itself, Paul Went on Iranian Television to Blast Israelis
14. December 2011
Another case where Ron Paul’s hardcore base, the one that still thinks the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is real, finds this acceptable but just about no one else does. Look at it this way: When it comes to supporting our allies, he’s to the left of Nancy Pelosi. Dude. Nearly three years ago, [...]

Solyndra, the now-bankrupt solar company to which Barack Obama gave a low-interest, taxpayer-backed loan of more than $500 million, has been under a grand jury investigation for at least two months, Politico reports. The company is under investigation for its handling of the Energy Department loan. Analysts both within and outside the government had warned [...]
Ralph Nader: It’s Time for Occupy Wall Street to Go Home
14. December 2011
Dude. Dude. Consumer advocate and four-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader, a trailblazer to many on the American political left, said he’s not particularly upset by crackdowns on Occupy encampments — and he doesn’t think the occupiers are too disappointed either. “I think it would have been done anyways,” he told The Daily Caller in an [...]

13. December 2011
The lawyer for accused serial child molester, and former Penn State coach, Jerry Sandusky has inadvertently suggested that those who believe Sandusky’s accuser call a gay phone sex line.
