Douglas Schoen proves that Occupy Wall Street is deeply red
“Our research shows clearly that the movement doesn’t represent unemployed America and is not ideologically diverse. Rather, it comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence.

If David Starkey is racist then so is everybody – Telegraph Blogs

Was David Starkey being racist on Newsnight last night? – Telegraph Blogs
Was David Starkey being racist on Newsnight last night? – Telegraph Blogs. See, this is what I meant recently when I said you had to be black to criticize black people.

House rebukes Obama on Libya, but lets funding continue – Washington Times
House rebukes Obama on Libya, but lets funding continue – Washington Times. Once again, I saw this one coming from a mile away. There’s a certain way things in DC work, and not messing with the figurehead’s wars is a part of that. Chief eunuch of Obama the nitwit in this case is Kucinich. I [...]
Whose story is it? (h/t POLITICO 44: Whiteboard Archives)
POLITICO 44: Whiteboard Archives for May 03, 2011. This is significant. If the White House even now can’t seem to get the story straight about who did what where, who dies, who shot, etc.. then there’s clearly something wrong with this picture. Once again, I do not believe that representatives of “the leader of the [...]

MTV Denies That Obama Telecast Is Political – HUMAN EVENTS
MTV Denies That Obama Telecast Is Political – HUMAN EVENTS. Just the latest part of the lamestream media’s campaign for Obama. That “townhall meeting” will be about as non-political or unscripted as Obama’s campaign events (tl;dr for liberals: all scripted, very political, very liberal.)

Tony Blankley : Our Clever President (Townhall)
Tony Blankley : Our Clever President – Townhall.com All those who accused the media of not criticizing President Bush can definitely shut up now.

Obama stresses his own strong Muslim ties in Interview with Arabic News Network (Libertarian Republican)
Libertarian Republican: Obama stresses his own strong Muslim ties in Interview with Arabic News Network out of Dubai Not only is this further proof that Obama is not a (real) Christian, but also that we’re now back to Clinton style diplomacy, i.e. our enemies dictate our actions and then we’ll maybe eventually object to tiny [...]
John Stossel : The College Scam (Townhall)
John Stossel : The College Scam – Townhall.com Today’s “duh” award goes to Stossel. While usually quite adept at highlighting issues, this week’s column is just a dozy.

Weak minded leadership kills
A quick comment on the 7th season storyline of 24: If I were in “president” Taylor’s shoes, I would put American lives first, no matter what. Screw African banana republics, screw all foreign nations who don’t deserve our support by working to better their own lot. And yes, this would mean leaving nations like Iraq [...]

Press’s affair with Obama hits bumps (Washington Times)
Washington Times – Press’s affair with Obama hits bumps “Meanwhile, news organizations – from the Los Angeles Times to Black Entertainment Television – have publicly proclaimed they will cover the new administration impartially.” The above statement is ludicrously ridiculous to begin with, but for BET, a channel whose very existence is based on promoting and [...]

American Idol: Fire the soundboard guy
I get it, mixing 20+ mikes at the same time isn’t something I could do, but I don’t work for Lithgoe & Co.. The results show on Thursday was a mixing disaster from start to finish. I’m all for giving new guys a chance, but don’t put them on when it counts, such as on [...]
