New Motherf–g Tone Update: Government Shutdown Edition

“We are heading to a shutdown not because of a debate over money, not because of a debate over cuts but because Republicans continue to push a radical agenda against women . . . throwing women and children under the bus.” — Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Maryland Democrat Ezra Klein of The Washington Post claims that a mere […]

Democrats Draw the Line, Will Shut Down Government Over Planned Parenthood

In her 2006 book, Godless, Ann Coulter called abortion “the holiest sacrament” in the religion of liberalism. Democrats would rather shut down the federal government than de-fund Planned Parenthood: Congressional budget negotiations broke up before dawn on Friday without an agreement, putting the government on a path to a shutdown when financing for federal agencies […]

Libya: ‘Obama’s Worst Failure to Date’

That’s the subject of my latest American Spectator column: Scarcely three weeks after the U.S. military launched Operation Odyssey Dawn, the war in Libya is beginning to look like President Obama’s worst failure to date. While official Washington and the political press have been focused on budget negotiations and the prospect of a federal government […]

Wound + Salt = ‘Hey, Liberals, How Are You Liking That Wisconsin Result?’

Yesterday afternoon, when it looked like liberal Joanne Kloppenburg had narrowly defeated Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, I was in abject misery. Now? Baby, I feel fine!

Here is a report from […]

Also, Riddle and Rufful are on the staff of The […]

Meet a Typical Anti-American Elitist

Her wedding was reported by the New York Times in 2006: When they met at last, it was by transcontinental telephone in fall 2003. Ms. Akner, then working in New York as the director of education at MediaBistro, a Web site for print and electronic journalism, hired Mr. Brodesser, then a reporter for Variety in […]

Libya: Even the New York Times Admits the Rebels Are Militarily Hopeless

Having spent the past several days bemoaning what a half-assed bunch the Libyan rebels are, it’s nice to see a reporter on the scene describe the extent of their half-assedness: The rebel military, as it sometimes called, is not really a military at all. . . .
