No, this wasn’t a mistake based on insignificant vetting. It was wishful thinking from a partisan pseudo-journalist who, for obvious reasons, immediately began scouring TEA Party sites looking for a name to match that of the shooter. Rather than, say, the Democrat voter rolls. Ross wanted to draw the connection. ABC has issued an apology and Ross an on-air mea culpa. So what? This was the way the mainstream press

One of the protein wisdom commentariat wrote to Gov Scott’s office regarding what he considered the unethical behavior of the Republican prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case. Here’s the response received: Thank you for contacting Governor Rick Scott’s Office and sharing your concerns about a Florida criminal case.  The Governor asked that I respond on his behalf. Governor Scott supports a full and fair investigation into all of the circumstances

For those who haven’t heard by now, a 24-year-old gunman armed with gas canisters, a rifle, a shotgun, and a pair of handguns opened fire in an Aurora movie theater early in the am, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens more. A tragedy in what was, it turns out, a “gun free zone”, where CCW wasn’t permitted. I mention this for a reason, because believe me, I had

But then, I guess that’s to be expected from a faculty lounge red hoping to be noticed by the real deal. All that’s missing in this needy little drama is for Obama to make Vlad a friendship bracelet, and maybe a collage featuring a lot of mustaches and Warren Beatty and, like, potatoes and such.

Non-racist George Zimmerman’s interview with Sean Hannity: That we’ve seen a race-pimping / overzealous prosecutorial cabal aimed at creating some sort of symbol at the expense of man’s life and reputation is so repulsive to me that I haven’t any words, really. Al Sharpton and his like deserve the same kinds of misery to befall them that they so routinely and cavalierly subject others to. And the Republican prosecutor in

Ernst & Young?  What’s that? Sounds very white, is all I know.  And racist.  Probably uses white math and patriarchal logic.  Best we dismiss whatever it is out of hand.   So way we can get back to attacking the rich, who simply must be punished, racist studies steeped in white math and misogynistic logic be damned.  For the children. Forward!

Listen, Hobbits:  who are you going to believe:  your own lying eyes and ears, or those very sophisticated and better-educated journalism and English Majors who are going to pretend to sniff at your pedestrian inability to fully glean the very obvious and blazing subtext necessary to completely invert what Obama said into what he truly meant — which, duh, you guntoting dullards, is perfectly in keeping with the kind of

But then, to John McCain, R-Maverick, President Obama is a good and decent man whose past is off-limits — while the real enemies are all the Hobbits who presume to try to hold their betters accountable without the first idea How Washington Works™. — A presumption that would have saved the GOP from caving to Democrat and media (but I repeat myself!) pressures and agreeing to a bi-partisan effort to

Needing a picture ID to vote, leftist judges and the Obama Justice Department keep telling us, is a substantial impairment and therefore can’t be enforced.  And yet, here are a number of other activities requiring a picture ID — all of which, I suspect, should now be ruled unfairly prejudicial to the  poor, long-suffering rural folk who exist mainly in the partisan, hyper-political brains of progressive ideologues.  With thanks to

Andrew Barrett: It has been almost 60 years since the birth of the modern American conservative movement. Conservatives have won some electoral victories over those years: two Reagan landslides, the GOP takeover of Congress in 1994, and the Tea Party victories last election. Yet, in terms of lasting policy changes, what have conservatives accomplished? What do we have to show for so many years of effort? The answer is, unfortunately,
