Another good one. And most of it is not too far from the truth! Jon Stewart: Boldly going where very few comedians (most of them white) will go. Related: What Has Barack Ever Done? Matt Yglesias Makes It Look Easy!

Just read this little blurb on Fox: WASHINGTON —  Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, has been indicted on seven “charges related to (his) holding of public office,” two federal government sources told FOX News on Tuesday. The Department of Justice has announced a 1:20 p.m. ET press conference that a release says is “regarding a criminal matter.” Here’s [...]

 

Is Richard Cohen a racist, too?

Red State’s wondering as well.  Cohen, one of the WaPo’s liberal columnists, dared to criticize Obama by writing a piece about his “tissue thin” record, and in the same piece praised McCain.    Some of what he’s praised McCain for are for things that have irked conservatives, but that’s part of his point: What has Obama done outside of the bubble [...]

The narrative starts: Hateful conservatives to blame for Knoxville shooting

Oh boy. Here we go again. Just like we saw after the Oklahama City bombings w/ President Bill Clinton blaming “hate radio,” we’re seeing today from an assortment of deluded lefties a clear implication – and in some cases outright accusal – that the shooter who gunned down 8 at a Unitarian church in Knoxville, [...]

Rick Moran’s top 10 list of things that creep him out about Obama

Posted by: ST on July 28, 2008 at 10:13 am » 3 Comments

A pretty comprehensive list.  I’d add one thing to it that he only briefly touched on, and that is Obama’s tendency to treat political rallies like tent revivals.  The language both he and his wife use on the campaign trail – like “heal this nation,” “lift this nation,” “rise up,” etc - is disturbing to me, because [...]
