Good News: ‘Ellie Light’ Is a Man

Bad news: He’s afraid of “right-wing crazies” in California: Ellie Light, the ubiquitous letter writer whose name appeared in newspapers nationwide praising President Barack Obama, appears to really be a male health care worker from California. A man who identified himself as Winston Steward, 51, of Frazier Park, Calif., says he made up the name […]

Obama’s Smear Machine

“What’s happened to us . . . is a case study in how to fight back against Alinksy methods.  The Left wins because its targets are cowed into submission and do not fight back.” — HillBuzz

Obama’s Clintonian SOTU

In 2000, I won a $40 newsroom pool at The Washington Times by making the best prediction of the length of Bill Clinton’s State of the Union Address. (Hint: With Clinton, always bet longer.)

This “light-skinned . . . no Negro dialect” controversy raged while I was on the road yesterday. Somebody told me it about Reid’s remark while I was at a Tea Party event in Altadena, Calif., from which I went straight to the airport for the long flight home. Excuse me, therefore, for being late to the Reid […]
