That’s what Dan Rather said.

Now, I would have said “ice to an eskimo”, or “s**t to farmer”. But, that would be stereotyping. In Chris Matthews minds, connecting a black man to watermelons is nothing to blink an eye at. Some people will fein shock and horror at Dan for being so, [...]

One thing everyone has to give President Obaam, he sure knows how to keep people guessing.
 
In the past, Obama has made it a sort of semi-habit to bow to some foreign heads of state.  Most usually, it’s to a head of state that bowing down to means absolutely nothing to.  Like, the Queen of England.  [...]

Immediately after Obama took office in January, the Department of Homeland Security seemed to take a drastic turn in policy.  Rather than concerning itself with terrorism associated with known terrorist groups, it seemed to target everything BUT known terrorist groups:

DHS Report on Right Wing Extremism –
Normal people just groaned.  It was that kind of [...]

Jimmy Carter, who blamed the most horrid economic policies in US history on the general public, has generally been a malaise since then.  About once or twice a year, he takes jabs at the United States.  I’m not sure if he’s had anything nice or relevant to say in the last thirty years.  But, he’s [...]

Not sure if I got this exactly right.  Let me take another stab at it.  Kanye West, who is black, ripped the microphone from the hands of Taylor Swift, who is white, to assert the fact that Beyonce, who is black, should have won.  Beyonce did indeed win the best video of the year.  Kanye [...]

I just listened to Russ Feingold’s ten mintues of fame during the Sonia Sotomayor hearings.  He’s nuts.
“That is why I suggest to everyone watching today that they be a little wary of a phrase they may hear at these hearings – ‘judicial activism.’  That term really has lost all usefulness, particularly since so many rulings [...]

Today we’ll start one of the most annoying processes in politics I can think of.  Nominating a Supreme Court justice will bring us a week of guaranteed partisan political bickering and posturing.  No ifs, ands, or butts.  Guaranteed.
Now, I don’t have that much of an issue with that aspect of it.  I just won’t watch [...]

Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson, and Bobby Rush met with Raul and Fidel Castro yesterday.  They met the Castro brothers under the auspices of the Congressional Black Caucus.  They will report their findings to Nancy Pelosi very shortly.
Now, someone help me here.  Why would the Congressional Black Congress be negotiating US policy?  Wouldn’t it make a [...]

In December 2006 I wrote about Mumia Abu-Jamal.  He shot a cop in the back and face in 1981 and killed him.  That part is not in dispute.  Now, in March 2009, it’s still in court.  He has been found guilty a few times.  However, for some reason, his case keeps getting appealed and keeps [...]

This is so amazingly stupid I don’t even know where to begin.  The New York Post ran a cartoon intermingling the events of the violent monkey getting shot in Connecticut and the recent stimulus bill.  Looking at it for two seconds, I got it.  I thought it was very accurate.  This stimulus was so bad [...]
