"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Remember When David Gregory Raked Obama Over the Coals on ‘Meet the Press’?

Yeah. Me neither. When Democrats go on Meet the Press, it’s like Justin Bieber sitting down for a hard-hitting interview with Tiger Beat. (“Do you like puppies?”) When conservatives go on Meet the Press, it’s like Hans Frank on trial at Nuremberg, except without benefit of a defense lawyer.

Conservatives Support Boston Needy Who Were Harmed By #OccupyBoston

by Smitty You pick your battles. When @ali chimed in on Twitter that Boston’s  “Greenway Mobile Food Fest” fundraiser was getting wrecked by #OccupyBoston, making a donation seemed a twofer: support the genuinely needy, and sticking it to the mooch.
