The #Gosnell Horror Prompts Flashback to Bush Derangement Syndrome

As the feminists say: “Trigger alert!” Has any recent mass-murderer killed more children than Dr. Gosnell? — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) April 13, 2013 George W. Bush RT @rsmccain: Has any recent mass-murderer killed more children than Dr. Gosnell? — Liam O’Donoghue (@Liam_ODonoghue) April 13, 2013 And the “You Stay Classy, Liberals” award goes to […]

Why Won’t Democrats Answer Questions About Kentucky Eavesdropping Scandal?

The minute I mentioned the scandal involving Progress Kentucky’s secret recording of Mitch McConnell, the lady on the phone at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said, “I’ll put you through to his voicemail” — meaning DSCC spokesman Justin Barasky, who didn’t return my call.

He’s just not honest enough to admit that he wants to call attention to what he believes to be an epidemic of […]

‘Democrat Ethics’

The Democratic Party is the most successful criminal organization in American history, and the amazing thing is that they haven’t yet stolen everything that’s not nailed down. […]

When you write headlines like that, you don’t expect any offers of “senior fellowships” at leading think tanks or book offers from prestigious New York publishers, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a valid policy proposal. I woke up this morning and checked the Drudge headlines:   NKOREA: ‘Powerful striking means’ on standby… WATCHCON 2: […]

Dog Bites Man; Man Rapes Girl: Journalism and Other Crimes

Just a couple of innocent victims of homophobic bigotry? There is a basic rule of journalism — a rule that has nothing to do with politics whatsoever — that if a dog bites a man, that’s not news. News is when a man bites a dog. That is to say, newsworthy events are by definition […]
