Ku Klux Klan To “Watch” Polling Places (Updated)

The Ku Klux Klan has promised to “monitor” polling places in Harlem, the South Bronx, Bushwick, Bedford Stuyvesant, and East New York, all predominantly black areas of New York City. “We want to make sure there’s no voter intimidation,” said Mark Rollins, Grand Kleagle of the Northeast Chapters of the Knights Templar of the [...]

Hope, and… Wait, what was the other one again?

Oh right… It was “change.” Nobody ever defined it, really, we were just meant to believe that when the great one, the one we’ve all been waiting for, was in the Oval Office, things would “change” from the “politics of the past.” Yep. Things are gonna be real different now…

Louis Susman has one [...]

I’m a Super Recognizer

This is so totally me:

Some people claim to never forget a face. And the ability can prove to be socially awkward.

A new study finds some people can remember faces of people they met years ago and only in passing. Others of us, of course, aren’t blessed with that ability. In fact about 2 percent of [...]

Boehner Asks Pelosi to Prove She Was Misled

After all… Lying to Congress is a crime…

“Lying to the Congress of the United States is a crime, and if the Speaker is accusing the CIA and other intelligence officials of lying or misleading the Congress, then they should come forward with evidence and turn that over to the Justice Department so that they [...]

Black and White Thinking: When It’s Okay

The President of Notre Dame should be fired. Now. There is no acceptable excuse for the President of the United States, a pro-abortion monster of a human being to be speaking at a school who, for all its bluster, is a Catholic university and proud of its teachings of God’s message to its [...]

David Axelrod Continues Politics of Change and Hope

Finally, there was the conversation weaving between, of all things, Miss California U.S.A. Carrie Prejean, the same-sex marriage opponent who the panel had already mocked at length, and Bo, the Obama family’s Portuguese water dog.

When Mr. Axelrod was asked how involved he was in the selection of Bo, he jokingly answered that he “only [...]

Black Pot Calls Kettle Indebted… Or Something…

Wait, what?

President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.

“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that [...]

NY Times Notices Problem, Doesn’t Bother Investigating Its Cause

The New York Times has noticed a problem. In the poorest minority sections of New York City, foreclosures are highest. The Times opens their story with the usual dramatic breathlessness:

Turn the corner on 145th Street in Jamaica, Queens, and it is as though a cyclone has wheeled through.

One resident, Lakisha Brown, a hospital [...]

Consumerist Speaks to Austan Goolsbee

My good friends Ben Popken and Meghann Marco from Consumerist got to sit down with President Obama’s senior economic adviser… Awesome sauce…

Pelosi Starts Variety Show. Featured Act: Tap Dancing

I wonder if she’ll call for the rounding up of herself? After all, Democrats have requested the heads of pretty much everyone on a silver platter; maybe it’s time we have hers, too? After all, she seems at least partially responsible for the torture she so wants to punish everyone else for.

If they [...]

Donald Trump Defends Prejean, Skewers Obama, All is Forgiven

This morning I kinda got annoyed with Donald Trump in my post about the finale of Celebrity Apprentice. Frankly, by picking Joan Rivers, he earned some scorn and for all his talk about professionalism, integrity, and business sense, he picked the old broad because she was feisty.

Today, however, he stood behind Carrie Prejean and [...]

Eff Joan Rivers

I’m assuming that, if you wanted to see it, you’ve already seen the Celebrity Apprentice finale from Sunday night. If not, you missed a hum dinger of a cat fight between Poker Champ Annie Duke and the loudmouthed obnoxious Joan Rivers.

For about half the season, Annie and Joan had been going at it, mainly [...]

Madden Not Impressed With Yankees’ New Shrine To Selves

Bill Madden of the Daily News writes an open letter to Yankees owner George Steinbrenner:

I realize it's been quite a while since we've been able to have a lengthy dialogue – I've missed those “whaddayou want, Madden” phone calls – but they tell me you still read your mail every day and that this is [...]

Reaching Across Tastes

By rights I shouldn’t find him funny. Really, everyone who knows my sense of humor knows I like the most vulgar nasty cringe-inducing humor. The more offensive, the funnier. The more someone makes me cringe, the more they make me laugh.

With that in mind, it often comes as a huge surprise that [...]

Snopes Bordering On Ridiculous

Snopes has rightfully earned a lot of respect over the years on the web for their hunger in finding the truth about urban legends and chain e-mails. They have a way of getting to the bottom of things that’s both admirable and interesting and they document their research very well on their site. [...]

Toyota Loses $7.7bn, Even More Than GM

GM is obviously running on fumes in terms of money, while Toyota has billions on hand to weather the storm. The strength of the two companies is not equal, to say the least.

But if the company that many consider the strongest automaker in the world is suffering as badly in terms of sales and net [...]
