Worst songs of the nineties (slideshow).  Most of them really are pretty dreadful. No music, but earworm alert, anyhow. 

Ray Robison at American Thinker, h/t B Moe: This new scandal recalls the early 2007 incident in which the Speaker promoted a minimum wage hike that would include all U.S. areas except American Samoa. Some large companies with canneries in Samoa are headquartered in the Speaker’s district. Amgen is a powerhouse in Northern California, with a significant presence in the Speaker’s district. That fact mirrors the Samoa controversy in which

Taking stock: OBAMA: You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq.   And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was

Yesterday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram ran a story reporting that security details at Sen. Barack Obama’s rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena in Dallas. The left side of the blogosphere found it scary — no, wait, terrifying, not to mention mind-blowing, a serious lapse in security, and cause for investigations and dismissals,

Dan, I hate to be the one to pass on this news if you’re not aware yet.  I came home to find Keith’s obituary in the Caller-Times today.  It says he passed away in Austin, so at least he was in a good place with close connections to the good place up above. My heart goes out to you as you mourn a man who obviously meant a great deal to

At last night’s Democratic debate, Sen. Barack Obama  made the following claim: OBAMA: You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq. And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough humvees. They

I’m going to Disney World! Ha. In the wake of the liberal awakening over Clinton spin and misrepresentation, comes this eye-opener regarding MoveOn: Move-On just sent its Denver members an e-mail asking them to host an Obama party on Sunday where everyone brings a cell phone: On Sunday, March 2, we’re holding the biggest phone bank in presidential primary history. Folks everywhere will come to parties armed with cell phones—ready

A Greenwald of a different color on Reuters and the record. Reuters, the news agency with a policy forbidding the word “terrorist” from their stories and a penchant for printing doctored photos as evidence of Israeli aggression, has done it again. Yesterday, Reuters posted a story entitled “Sadr Expected to End Truce”, implying it was likely that Iraqi Shiite leader Muqtada al Sadr would end his Mahdi Army’s six-month ceasefire

Although it looked to me like the Wisconsin primary results confirmed an erosion in the Clinton coalition starting with the Potomac primaries, Jay Cost works his number-crunching magic and concludes that the erosion more likely starts in Wisconsin: I think this shift is hard to account for without hypothesizing a momentum effect. Consider the following. We know that the Hispanic population, Catholic population, and union population are important factors in

Ask the Newsroom The McCain Article Published: February 21, 2008 A recent New York Times article examined a number of decisions by Senator John McCain that raised questions about his judgment over potential conflicts of interest.
