Cloudy with a chance of fiery death

This was attached to the end of a nauseating Boston Globe article celebrating the amorous relations between Occupy protesters: Editor’s note: This story about relationships that began during Occupy Boston featured a man, Robert Stitham, who is a registered sex offender, according to state records. Had his status been discovered during reporting, the story would [...]

Yes, again. Those bulldozers are working overtime. Over Thanksgiving, I told you about the last batch of White House visitor logs quietly dumped over a busy holiday season. I noted MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s August 5 visit (along with several other prog media personalities). It was her fifth visit to Casa Obama; she didn’t respond [...]

“Throw grandma from the cliff” blowback

Chose and lost?

**Written by Doug Powers Nice try, Time, but this obvious and cheap attempt to sell magazines and make money for your Wall Street masters by exploiting those engaged in a struggle against the greedy upper one percent will not go unnoticed: #OccupyTimeMagazine From MSNBC: TIME magazine revealed the 2011 choice for its iconic Person of [...]

**Written by Doug Powers We’ve had some fun with Al Sharpton, from “resist we much” to the blueberry pie promo, and last night Saturday Night Live got in on the action: The IRS still isn’t laughing. **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe

People make honest mistakes. When right-leaning people make them, Soros-funded Media Matters turns it into Apocalypse Now and an opportunity to discredit all of conservatism. But when liberal journos err, it’s like the proverbial trees falling in the forest. Does anybody hear the muffled sound? Last night while I was on Twitter, a few left-leaning [...]

Bad Santa

Anybody who answers “you’re fired” is fired

Significant?

Stump the band

The GOP ate it all

“It’s absolutely disgusting”

**Written by Doug Powers Probably the most talked about exchange from Saturday night’s GOP debate was the Newt Gingrich/Scott Pelley back and forth regarding the sanctioned killing of American born terrorists overseas (the least talked about portion of the debate was the second hour, because not many people could watch it). Here’s video of the [...]

“It’s not funny to me”

Unethical?

Don’t screw with me! Joe Biden: Beltway Bubble Boy by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 Last fall, before the midterm shellacking, Vice President Joe Biden admonished rank-and-file Democratic voters to “stop whining.” Uncle Tough Guy should practice what he screeches. The 2012 campaign has barely begun, but Biden’s thin skin makes a spring roll [...]

En route

I’m sure you all saw what the Washington Post did this weekend. The newspaper tried to macaca Rick Perry. The frenzy is over a now-overturned stone on a secluded property — “associated” with Perry through his father, partners or his signature on a lease — that once had the word “Niggerhead” painted on it. The [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Last summer, as you know, author Joe McGinniss earned his place in the annals of literary stalkers by moving in next door to the Palin family, ostensibly to “research” a book. Well, that book is now out, and so far it has the makings of what could end up as an [...]

“Over-suggesting”?

**Written by Doug Powers “But resist, we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.” – Al Sharpton, August 9, 2011 A new opposition movement is born, and in a matter of hours.
