On August 14, 2011, Warren Buffett penned an op-ed for the New York Times. It was named, subtly enough: Stop Coddling the Super-Rich Get the idea? While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. [...]
Some people are just unlearned. Some people are just stubborn. Some people are just stupid. Some people just can’t quit lying. Paul Krugman has to be the latter. His argument for why we should still vote Democrat in spite of the fact their economic policies to date have failed miserably is because we shouldn’t return [...]
Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100 And: Robert C. Byrd, a Pillar of the Senate, Dies at 92 Both opposed civil rights initially. Both converted to support civil rights. One was an outspoken member of the Ku Klux Klan. One was not. Wanna guess which was which? Oh, and one died a Democrat, [...]
Now, that title is a little iffy. it could be read the politics of “bailouts gone bad”. Or, it could be read “politics of bailouts” gone bad. I love equivocating, it keeps people on their toes. With what we are experiencing today, both would apply. A couple of weeks I made my argument on why [...]

Some people are taking the Times to task since they endorsed McCain a long time ago and “suddenly” realized a critical piece of his biography. Now, to the very [...]
OLBERMANN: The phrase here, “protect the candidate from himself.” “Intervene.” This sounds, this sounds eerily familiar. We harkened back to the efforts from members of President Clinton’s staff to try to keep Monica Lewinsky away from him ten years ago or more. Those are eerily similar uses of the language, are they not? The only [...]
“In partisan Republican circles, the pursuit of voter fraud is code for suppressing the votes of minorities and poor people.” New York Times, March 16, 2007 editorial. How can one single person take them seriously after a comment like that? Kind of amazing considering it was just a few hours ago I was belaboring the [...]
Gaggle nails it: Everyone knew about that top-secret program. It was so well known that NYT felt compelled to relegate it to front page headline news. Y’know, at first I assumed the NYT assumed we are all incredibly stupid. Now, after watching them make the rounds explaining to us that their top-secret revealed to them [...]
Here’s the story: (Peter King) To me, the real question here is the conduct of The New York Times. By disclosing this in time of war, they have compromised America’s anti-terrorist policies. This is a very effective policy. They have compromised it. This is the second time The New York Times has done this. And [...]
