Now MSNBC Throws Halperin Under the Bus

Smitten No More?

It has been well documented, that the mainstream press were in cahoots with the Democratic Party in 2008.  During the 2008 Presidential election, the press interspersed their attention between attacking the President Bush, and blowing slobbering kisses towards Candidate Obama.

The First Real GOP 2012 Primary Debate

By Kathryn Jean Lopez Mitt Romney came across like a frontrunner, taking the debate directly to the president — serious, steady, generous, and respectful of the rest of the Republican field. For the most part, it was an overwhelmingly serious and sober debate. (Save for a few moments — and the Palin or Biden question?!?) [...]

Omen: Keith Olbermann’s Exit Comes Exactly One Year After Air America’s Demise

The sudden, shocking exit of Countdown host Keith Olbermann is still sinking in for many, but the true potential measure of the loss is illustrated by a weird coincidence: exactly one year ago today, Air America finished circling the drain, and announced it would cease live programming immediately. The troubled liberal radio network was also [...]

Why Obama Is Losing the Political War

By Mark Halperin CNN/TIME Barack Obama is being politically crushed in a vise. From above, by elite opinion about his competence. From below, by mass anger and anxiety over unemployment.

The Lost Promise of Barack Obama

By Michael Gerson The most destructive gap for President Obama is not the Republican lead on the generic congressional ballot or even a job disapproval that has surpassed approval — it is the gap between aspiration and reality.

T.E. Lawrence….Lawrence of Arabia

One of my favorite historic personalities has always been Thomas Edward Lawrence, popularized many years ago by newspaper writer Lowell Thomas as “Lawrence of Arabia.” He is famous for helping lead the “Arab Revolt” against the Ottoman Turks, who were allied with Germany in World War I.
