Hot Air’s Ian Schwartz was in Baltimore tonight and captured video of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons’ endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Michael Steele. It’s a highly significant event for the Steele campaign. Steele and Simmons became friends a few years ago “because the two share interests in minority entrepreneurship and housing,” reports WJLA. The Washington [...]

I was in NY on 9/11/01. I had just moved into a new apartment, and was working at my first political job–for a mayoral candidate in the Republican primary. It was primary election day, and I went to go vote in my new neighborhood. By the time I gave up on finding [...]

Over the weekend, I pointed to a story in the blabbermouth NYTimes about the vacation homes of Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld and VP Dick Cheney as a news hook to talk about the Left’s selective apathy towards reckless, unnecessary invasions of privacy.
The reactions were predictable: the usual moonbats accused me of hypocrisy by dredging up [...]

Real or clone?
Scary headline of the day: “Gore to train 1,000 to spread word about climate”

The former vice president, a Democrat, said on [...]

The beverage-spew-inducing line of the day goes to Al Gore for calling pro-illegal alien amnesty, Harriet Miers for Supreme Court-nominating, Medicare entitlement-expanding President Bush a “renegade right-wing extremist.”
Sides. Splitting. Oh. Oh. Ouch. Help.

Kathryn Lopez: If only!
Freepers: Rolling on the floor.
Lucianne.com: “Gore says he’s ‘carbon neutral’ - Doesn’t hot air count?

Gore, Gywneth, and Gulfstream liberals.

Did you catch the Drudge exclusive on the Beverly Hills teacher plying Al Gore’s Hot Air?
Coincidentally, today’s Vent features a moonbat montage of teachers unhinged.
Enjoy.

So, Paramount is gearing up to release an Al Gore documentary about global warming. But at least two scientists in the Philippines are rejecting Gore’s hot air. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reports:

I asked this morning, and I’ll repeat the question:
How much did the Saudis pay Al Gore to trash America this weekend at the Jeddah Economic Forum?

Danish TV station, DR 1, aired a valuable news segment yesterday on the manufacturing of the Cartoon Jihad yesterday.

1006pm EDT update. The Dems may have claimed victory in NJ and Va., but I think it’s still too early to proclaim this the “Night of The Democrats,” as the Drudge Report headline is calling it. The Soros-backed election “reform” measures in Ohio look like they’re going down in flames. And [...]

Drudge is headlining an ABC News story on a deeply disturbing espionage case at the White House involving a naturalized American of Filipino descent who worked for Vice President Dick Cheney (and also Al Gore).

What Julie Myers is to the Department of Homeland Security, Harriet Miers is to the Supreme Court. (Video of the announcement here via NYT).) It’s not just that Miers has zero judicial experience. It’s that she’s so transparently a crony/”diversity” pick while so many other vastly more qualified and impressive candidates [...]

The New York Times has run yet another correction to columnist Paul Krugman’s numerous errors regarding the recounts in Florida after the 2000 presidential election. These errors were noted by bloggers more than a month ago.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has issued two corrections to his August 19 and August 22 columns. The first correction concerns his false claim that turnout in Ohio’s Miami County last fall was an unbelievable 98.5 percent. Krugman admits he relied on figures from tinfoil hat-wearer Rep. John Conyers rather than Ohio’s Secretary of [...]

As I’m sure you’re already aware, Michelle is off with her family on vacation for a couple of days. While she’s gone she left a set of her keys with me. From the JunkYard to the top of the ecosystem in one day–the view from up here almost makes me dizzy.

Remember Fatina Abdrabboh? She’s the silly Muslim woman who wrote the most ridiculous op-ed ever about how bigoted she thought America was until Al Gore picked up her car keys at the gym.
Well, she’s back. James Chen dissects her latest grievance-mongering screed in the Christian Science Monitor. This time she takes offense because someone won’t [...]

In the New York Times yesterday, Maureen Dowd bemoaned how difficult it is to be a woman with opinions–or whatever she calls the half-cooked rhetorical omelette she dumps onto the Times op-ed platter every week:
In 1996, after six months on the job, I went to Howell Raines, the editorial page editor, to try to get [...]
