On MLK Day last month, the Denver Public Schools served Southern-style fried chicken, biscuits, and collard greens for lunch.
Despite the fact that MLK was actually from the South and actually liked those foods, the racial grievance crowd raised hell and complained that the menu was RAAAAACIST — prompting an apology from the school system.
Now, we [...]

‘Fess up, my liberal friends and readers. Are you not now completely mortified by the continued Archie Bunker ruminations on race by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews? Still stuck in the ’60s babbling about the Kennedy administration, his patronizing attitude toward President Obama makes Harry “Negro dialect” Reid and Robert “Kleagle” Byrd look like hip, young 21st [...]

One down. Fiftysomething to go. An apology from Gannett Wisconsin Media for getting duped by Astroturf Ellie:
A woman named Ellie Light (if that is her real name) recently duped dozens of newspapers around the country, including some here in Wisconsin, into printing her letter praising President Barack Obama as if she were a local resident.
The [...]

You already know that the “M” in “MSNBC” stands for misogyny.
Well, the “SNBC” stands for Simpering Neanderthals Bashing Conservatives.
Here’s Keith Olbermann coughing up his bile against Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown:
In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he [...]

In November, I filled you in on former White House communications director and Fox News-basher Anita Dunn’s young protégé and fellow Tom Daschle flack, Dan Pfeiffer.
Well, he’s playing the perfect Anita Dunn mini-me. In a video interview with the New York Times, he scoffs that Fox is “not a traditional news organization.”
As I said [...]

New York Times columnist David Brooks will never let an opportunity pass to remind you that he is an intellectual and you are a grimy member of the unwashed masses. His column today pays a back-handed tribute to the success of the Tea Party movement…while bemoaning the decline of influence among the [...]

My column takes a look at a trio of under-reported stories of 2009. It was hard to pick just three, of course. FoxNews.com has its own list here. What’s on your list?

Please keep Rush in your prayers:
Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.
Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said. Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen’s Medical Center [...]

AF: “As the Senator from Minnesota, I object.” JL: “Really?!”

There he goes again. Racial bean-counter Chris Matthews, of the indelibly white MSNBC, is attacking conservatives for stoking “white tribalism:”
On the Sunday, December 13, syndicated Chris Matthews Show, as he ended the show with words of praise for Morgan Freeman’s latest film, Invictus, and its depiction of Nelson Mandela uniting blacks and whites in South [...]

The sky is falling.

White Christmas.

John Stossel, the newest member of the Fox family, debuts his show on Fox Business Network tonight at 8pm Eastern.
Be sure to tune in. He write at Townhall.com:

People keep forwarding me emails and blog posts saying ABC fired me. Internet forums claim I was fired because I aired a story about the downside of government-controlled [...]

Percy Sutton and Malcolm X, 1963.
Well, well, well.
The Congressional Black Caucus is trying to shake down the White House — and taxpayers — by holding a Democrat financial regulation “reform” bill hostage until Team Obama stuffs it with taxpayer goodies for a minority-owned radio station and other minority-owned businesses.
The story is here and here. [...]

Scroll for updates…Kristof non-responds…holes remain…

Today, I did something that Pulitzer Prize-winning NYTimes columnist Nick Kristof apparently didn’t do: I talked to a spokesman at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon.
I called them up after OHSU’s Dr. Johnny Delashaw left a comment about Kristof’s piece spotlighting the horrible plight of John Brodniak, an [...]

Holes.

See update: Brodniak sob story debunked!

Nick Kristof is the recipient of not one, but two Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. He has traveled the world, writes critically acclaimed books, and counts Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie among his glamorous friends. He is also the author of what may quite possibly be the crappiest New York Times [...]

Palin-bashers of pallor.

The printing plants of several newspapers in New York City were raided today as part of a corruption probe into union/Mob ties.
It will be interesting to see how vigorously the newspapers cover the story, no?
AP:
A law enforcement official says the New York Police Department raided circulation offices at some of the nation’s largest newspapers as [...]

The thug politics power couple of Anita “A Pox on Fox” Dunn and Bob “The Silencer” Bauer isn’t going anywhere. I said it earlier this week and on Fox News early Thursday morning (vid here).
Now comes word late tonight that Bauer is indeed — as has been rumored for nearly a month via Glenn Beck [...]

Oh, the incivility!

Final Jeopardy.

On ABC News this morning at George Stephanopoulos’s This Week roundtable, fellow Fox News contributor and conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham took Charlie Gibson to task for his ignorance of the ACORN scandal (which, you’ll remember, a condescending Gibson said he thinks the MSM should “leave to the cables.”)
Brava. Keep calling them [...]

What could possibly have been discussed in President Obama’s meeting with left-wing opinion journalists that required secrecy?
What is being kept from the American public about the two-and-a-half hour confab?
Goodbye, watchdogs. Hello, bootlickers.
How about a full list of those who attended the off-the-record meeting?
Where’s the openness and sunlight and disclosure?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

A reader just sent this fresh missive from the Fox News Deranged-foot soldiers at MoveOn:
From: Noah T. Winer, MoveOn.org Civic Action moveon-help@list.moveon.org
Subject: Stay off FOX
[Recipient name redacted]
Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 2:05 PM
Dear MoveOn member,
All year, FOX has worked 24/7 to block President Obama’s agenda—repeating lies about “death panels,” promoting Tea Party protests, and whipping [...]

The criminalization of conservative speech has been a recurring theme on this blog.
In particular, I’ve spotlighted the efforts of open-borders groups to marginalize, criminalize, and demonize those of us who have raised our voices for years about lax immigration enforcement — and to impose a Fairness Doctrine-style policy on amnesty opponents.
Keep all that in mind [...]

Times Says It Will Cut 100 Newsroom Jobs
By Richard Perez-Pena
The New York Times plans to eliminate 100 newsroom jobs – about 8 percent of the total – by year’s end, offering buyouts to union and non-union employees, and resorting to layoffs if it cannot get [...]

Busy with family.
