Rahm’s Operative and Union Each Trying to Buy Chicago City Council
20 Jan 2011 10:49 am Warner Todd Huston

A political operative tied directly to Rahm Emanuel has raised $1 million to back Emanuel friendly candidates for City Council, reports The New York Times. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is investing over $2 million also to buy candidates that favor their issues. Both are struggling to buy a City Council loyal to them in hopes of emulating outgoing Mayor Daley’s lock on power.
The Emanuel effort is being led by former Daley aide and Emanuel congressional campaign manager Greg Goldner. Goldner is grandiosely calling his fundraising effort For a …

‘Historian’ Douglas Brinkley: Obama ‘Like’ Martin Luther King
17 Jan 2011 12:51 pm Warner Todd Huston

Radio talker Rush Limbaugh got in dutch with Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer for saying that Obama supporters were “slobbering” over his address at the pep rally/memorial sponsored by the University of Arizona for those fallen in the Arizona shooting. But “slobbering” is nothing compared to historian Douglas Brinkley’s hyperbolic praise. Brinkley absurdly said that Obama was “Martin Luther King-like” in his efforts.
Brinkley’s blinkered assessment was originally reported by CNN’s Krsiti Keck immediately after the speech. His comments were coupled with those of several other commentators and published under the …

Miss America 2011 Slams WikiLeaks as ‘Espionage’
16 Jan 2011 2:47 pm Warner Todd Huston

The new Miss America Pageant winner, Cornhusker Teresa Scanlan, wowed judges with her black bikini, her piano playing, and her silky blond hair. She’s the youngest winner ever at 17, her theme this year was eating disorders, and she also criticized WikiLeaks as “espionage.”
Scanlon said that she wanted to become a lawyer because she wanted to help change the negative perception that people have of lawyers.
“At this point, attorneys and politicians are looked down on and have terrible reputations for being greedy and power hungry and I really think …

Spike Lee Declares America to Be the Most Violent Country in History
14 Jan 2011 1:53 pm Dave Blount

Never mind the Aztecs with their assembly line human sacrifices. Never mind the Nazis making people into lampshades, Mao’s China stacking up corpses by the tens of millions, or the nightmarish atrocities that occur in hellholes like Rwanda and Sudan. The most violent society in the history of the world is the United States of America. Take it from Spike Lee, the absurdly pretentious punk who called for Charlton Heston to be shot with a .44 caliber Bulldog. On the Decay show the other day he informed fellow lefty Meredith …

On Second Chances: Ted Williams vs. Michael Vick
9 Jan 2011 5:32 pm Susannah Fleetwood

Ted Williams was all the rage these last couple of days in the blogosphere and on cable news. In case you happen to be living under a rock this past week, Ted Williams is the homeless man who was a former radio announcer with a “golden voice” who fell into trouble with drugs and alcohol. Williams lost everything in 1993 and became homeless, only to have his life change this week when a video of him demonstrating his God given talent on the side of a Columbus, Ohio …

Even As Arizona Shooting Story Unfolds, Some Media Already Blaming Tea Party/Sarah Palin
8 Jan 2011 10:49 pm Warner Todd Huston

Even as the early, sketchy details of the shooting incident in Arizona were still emerging some members of the left-leaning media were already trying to tie the killer to Tea Party activism in general and Sarah Palin in particular.
Andrew Sullivan of the Atlantic.com was early to attempt to link lunatic killer Jared Loughner to the Tea Party, but he wasn’t the only one. The Washington Post’s Sandhya Somashekhar immediately attempted to color the story as an example of the “militant rhetoric” of the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin.

Party Boy Billionaire Offers to “Help” California
6 Jan 2011 10:00 pm Jane Jamison

The Financial Times carries one of those “quiz” headlines: “Tycoon Offers to Help Debt-Laden California.”
Hallelujah-and-put-your-teeth-back-in- Ethel, right? But who the hell is “Nicolas Berggruen” and why does he care about California?

Anheuser-Busch Beer Heir Avoids Girlfriend’s Funeral: Suspicious Circumstances of Death
2 Jan 2011 2:06 am Jane Jamison

Time for a follow-up to my Midwestern “scoop” that I picked up while spending holidays with family in the fly-over country bunker. It is WAY past time for the mainstream media to make sure the police do their job in behalf of one very dead beautiful woman and her son who now has no mother.

2010: The Entertainment Industry’s PC Year in Review
31 Dec 2010 11:15 am Warner Todd Huston

For the entertainment industry’s practitioners of political correctness, 2010 was another banner year. Even as conservatives have made deserved headway in La La Land and other areas of the industry, there still aren’t enough conservatives to bring much needed patriotism, logic, and common sense to the scene. Sadly, the industry is still filled with those slavishly dedicated to anti-American tropes, left-wing blather, and self-hatred. From comic books, to music, to radio, TV and movies, PCism still runs rampant.
Without further ado, here are just a few examples of PCism from 2010 …

Shocking: Dave Weigel Doesn’t Get Sarah Palin
30 Dec 2010 7:30 am Warner Todd Huston

Like most leftists, former Washington Post blogger David Weigel just doesn’t get Sarah Palin. Weigel took a look at the year-end contributions from the Political Action Committees (PACs) sponsored by Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin and what he saw there baffled him. While Weigel thought he understood the “strategy” of Romney’s donations, he admitted that he just couldn’t understand Palin’s.
Weigel took a look at the Federal Elections Commission’s emerging reporting records of the two GOP player’s campaign donations. Weigel figured that Romney was doling out his campaign donations in key …

Why Won’t MSNBCs Ed Schultz Interview Republicans? Cuz he is ‘Sick of ‘Em,’ of Course
27 Dec 2010 11:12 am Warner Todd Huston

t’s funny how lefties always consider themselves the more “logical,” the more civilized,” and more “adult” side of the argument. Why, they just want to have an adult debate to explain how correct their ideas are, right? Well, they might unless they work for MSNBC, apparently. Especially if they’re Ed Schultz. Ed Schultz, you see, doesn’t want a debate at all. In fact he refuses to even talk to the other side. We don’t have to surmise this to be true, either. He said so.
Just prior to Christmas, Schultz told …

A Merry Christmas Open Thread That’s Made Of Awesome….
17 Dec 2010 10:28 pm Susannah Fleetwood

Christmas is my very favorite time of year. Why? Well, I think that Ebenezer Scrooge’s nephew, Fred Holywell, nailed it with regard to why Christmas is such a special time of year when he said the following:

There are a great many things from which I have derived good, from which I have not profited, Christmas among the rest. But I’ve always thought of Christmastime as a good time, a kindly, forgiving, charitable time; a time when men and women seem, by one consent, to open their shut-up hearts …

No Cancer in Hinkley, California: Activist Hollywood Wrong AGAIN!
15 Dec 2010 11:00 am Warner Todd Huston

Proving once again that Hollywood always gravitates to the wrong causes, Tim Cavanaugh of Reason.com reported on Dec. 14 that the California town made famous by Erin Brokovich — an activism that Hollywood embraced with a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts — has proven not to have lived up to all the anti-corporate fearmongering that brought the town to the country’s attention.
For those of you that are hazy on the story, local activist Erin Brokovich successfully took Pacific Gas and Electric to court forcing it to pay a record …

Billionaire Oracle CEO Wants Cash-Strapped San Francisco to Pay for His America’s Cup Race
13 Dec 2010 4:03 pm Jane Jamison

Billionaire boys with very expensive toys want to come play in the San Francisco bay for the 2013 America’s Cup and they want the overstretched taxpayers of the city to pay for their games.

Sarah Palin Makes Liberals Act Like Weirdos
9 Dec 2010 6:24 pm Susannah Fleetwood

For some odd reason, Sarah Palin causes liberal elites to rabidly foam at the mouth. Professor William Jacobson of the blog Legal Insurrection wrote an insightful piece about how conservatives seem to reflexively defend Palin, because liberals seem to be perpetually attacking her. Furthermore, not only do liberals seem to revel in finding weird reasons to attack Sarah Palin, but they also seem to only be happy when they are attacking her family as well (probably because they see them as little …

More Palin Bashing: How CNN Misleads With Headlines
1 Dec 2010 10:00 am Warner Todd Huston

CNN indulged a classic left media tactic by misleading with a headline in a recent piece on former Governor Sarah Palin. The headline, if read by itself, seems to be saying that Sarah Palin delivered a “gaffe-filled message,” when the truth is that her message talked about gaffes, but wasn’t “filled” with them per se. The effect was that the headline made Palin look worse than the story itself did. If all one read was the headline, one would get a far different opinion of what was going on than …

Hollywood Lunatics and Other Stories
26 Nov 2010 9:00 am Warner Todd Huston

It’s a holiday and some might say we should be charitable to the unfortunate. By unfortunate usually they mean those that don’t have as much as you and I. But one might construe “unfortunate” to mean being gut wrenchingly stupid, too. And when one thinks of the gut wrenchingly stupid one often thinks of the denizens of Hollywood above all others. Still it is awfully hard to be charitable toward such stupidity, I have to admit.
Today I have two members of the gut wrenchingly stupid Hollywood set to report …

Roger Ebert As Black Hearted as His Disease is Cancerous
26 Nov 2010 3:39 am Warner Todd Huston

One would think that a fellow as ravaged by cancer as Roger Ebert would find his soul a bit less rancorous toward others. One would think that a man that has had such pain would not wish pain on others. But Roger Ebert is a liberal. Pain and hate is what they do.
Proof of this is in the latest hatred that spewed from Roger Ebert’s keyboard over the Thanksgiving holiday. While everyone else was enjoying family and thanking God for their bounty, this black-souled, venom-spitting, hatemonger was taking a little …

Kanye West: On Second Thought, Bush Doesn’t Hate Black People
10 Nov 2010 4:33 am John Hawkins

While President Bush has been making the rounds to promote his new book, he has made it known that he was extremely offended by Kanye West’s suggestion that he was a racist because of the response to Katrina:
“He called me a racist,” Bush tells reporter Matt Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.” (“Matt Lauer Reports”)
Bush …
