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

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. [...]

Showtime.

State Supreme Court ruling just handed down. Maybe Franken will march onto Washington, Burris-style?
The Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected Democrat Al Franken’s petition for an election certificate that would put him in the U.S. Senate without waiting for a lawsuit to be resolved.
Franken is ahead of Republican Norm Coleman by 225 votes. Coleman’s ongoing lawsuit [...]

“PLEASE CLICK HERE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TODAY!”

Laughingstock.

*The latest from Gaza…
Two more senior Hamas terrorists are dead. And this: 35 Palestinians killed by Islamists, 75 shot in legs in the past week “to ensure they don’t help Israel.” Allahpundit’s full coverage is here. The clock is ticking. U.S. tells UN Security Council to stuff it.
*Stuart Smalley is up 225 in [...]

My vote for most bizarre ballot of 2008 (via Minnesota NPR):

More snort-worthy goodness: Allah’s disputed ballot cheat sheet.

It’s on.

Franken-fright.

Crikey.

Nerve.

Sinking ship.

Minnesota Democrats Exposed.

Doggone it.

What a joke.

Whoops.

Brian Maloney looks at the fool taking over Air America–and Al Franken officially jumps ship.

Brian Maloney reports Al Franken has been cancelled in San Francisco and may be on his way out at failing, flailing Air America.

If you read Brian Maloney’s extensive report yesterday on the failed Air America takeover deal with shady nutball Sheldon Drobny, the brief AP dispatch this morning on the liberal network’s filing for bankruptcy will be no surprise:
Air America Radio, a liberal talk and news radio network, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a [...]

Brian Maloney has the lowdown on flailing lib radio network Air America’s legal and financial troubles at The Radio Equalizer. The New York State Attorney General’s office has now transferred the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club case involving Air America to its criminal prosecutions bureau. You won’t believe who finally covered the story. Yup, [...]

The poor Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club is still waiting for Air America to pay it back.
Details are buried at the bottom of the New York Sun’s story following up on liberal blog Think Progress’s claim that Air America will soon file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy:
Last year, Air America was involved in a scandal [...]

***scroll for updates below…Think Progress retracts story***

So, Air America leaks word of its bankruptcy to liberal blog Think Progress in an attempt to avoid complete humiliation by all those evil right-wingers who were spreading such vicious rumors about its financial chaos.
May I just say: Bwahahahahahaha.
First question: Will the New York Times fiiiiinally get [...]

The New York Post’s John Mainelli follows up on intrepid Brian Maloney’s investigative blog exclusive from last week on the impending loss of left-wing radio network Air America’s New York flagship station:
Losing its New York outlet would be a serious blow to the fledgling liberal radio network. “Radio Equalizer” blogger Brian Maloney – who blew [...]

***update…watch video of Maloney/O’Reilly here***
Last year, I was privileged to work with Brian Maloney of The Radio Equalizer on an ongoing blog investigative series about beleaguered Air America radio’s finances. Brian has continued to dig and dig deep on the story.
He has a new report here and will discuss it tonight on The O’Reilly Factor.
Brian [...]

Much has been made of the rabid Left’s online swarm that shut down the Washington Post’s blog comment section. The comments seemed comparatively tame to me. Maybe I’ll copy off Chapter 6 of Unhinged and send it off to the WaPo ombudsman and her editors to help them feel better.
Meantime, the moonbat manipulation of Amazon.com’s [...]

Here are a few of the crackpot sights and ridiculous sounds that made 2005 a year to remember (many thanks to Ian Schwartz at The Political Teen for his indispensable video blogging):
Video clips…
10. Spike Lee: Tinfoil hat-wearing levee expert
9. CNBC mugs Bernie Goldberg
8. Union thugs unhinged
7. Chris Matthews unhinged
6. MoveOn.org’s homage to “American” troops
5. [...]

Been fighting it all week. I’m losing. While I hack up a lung and dig up that hot toddy recipe someone e-mailed last year, here are a few good reads this morning:
- Alexandra at All Things Beautiful on retreating Dems: “The D stands for defeat.” When you’re done reading that post, keep scrolling down. I [...]

And all I get is this lousy t-shirt…
During one of countless book-related radio interviews this week, a liberal radio host insultingly asked me whether I write my own column. His question was prompted by vicious anonymous bloggers who portray me as a greedy Asian whore/dupe/brainwashing victim who simply parrots what my white slavemasters program into [...]

Al Franken thinks President George W. Bush should “confess”, according to today’s Denver Post. He’s so kind, in fact, he’d “forgive” Bush for an “outright confession”:
“The best way for us to start getting out is for the president to finally admit some mistakes,” Franken said in a phone interview. “Just say,’OK, we kind of cherry-picked, [...]
