One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Jim Hoft says it’s a “smear” for the New York Times to compare the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground of the 1960s and ’70s. More to the point, the comparison is stupidly inaccurate. The Weathermen emerged after 1969 from Students for a Democratic Society — an organization, as it name says, composed primarily of college students. SDS […]

MoveOn.org vs. ‘Blue Dog’ Barrow

This story could have major ramifications in Georgia and beyond: Left-wing rage over Georgia Rep. John Barrow’s vote against ObamaCare has reportedly prompted the powerful MoveOn.org political action committee to target him for defeat in this year’s Democratic primary. Barrow was among those “Blue Dog” Democrats slammed last summer by MoveOn.org radio ads . . […]

Liz Carter for Congress: Because It’s Time to Tip Over and Capsize Hank Johnson

This afternoon I opened my e-mail inbox and saw (a) a message from Conor Friedersdorf and (b) a message from a minister at the Georgia church attended by Carol Purdy, my third-grade crush.  Obviously, I chose to read the latter, which said: Met Liz Carter again today — her campaign for GA-4 now has national recognition thanks to […]

Few Mega-Joules Readily Arbitraged

by Smitty This week’s FMJRA salutes the Stupakian Bargain of BHO’s drilling policy. The energy output of the hydrocarbons could be measured in MJ, hence the title. POTUS: no one takes you seriously unless you’re seriously taking money. You just keep on pluckin’ that Presidential poultry, and we’ll keep on working to restore the country. […]

VIDEO: Interview With Vernon Parker, AZ-3 Republican Candidate

During a fund-raiser Tuesday at his home in Paradise Valley, I interviewed Mayor Vernon Parker, who is running for Congress in Arizona’s 3rd District. Please excuse my usual “uh-ahh” stumbling — the Detective Columbo style as an interviewer works better in print than on video — and also please excuse the poor lighting. Sundown was rapidly approaching when we arrived at the event and […]
