New York Times Buries the Lead — Deliberately — on Egypt Story

Yesterday, the New York Times put a story on its Web site with the headline: “Christians Targeted for Retribution in Egypt.” Then, evidently, the editors took over and turned it into a story headlined: “Egypt Calls for New Look at Morsi Prison Escape in 2011.” As they say in the newsroom, they added a new […]

Notorious Bush-Era Anti-War Protester Adam Kokesh Busted on Drug Charge

In 2007, fringe nutjob Adam Kokesh was arrested on Capitol Hill.

Obama Keeps Lying; Reporters Don’t Care

Oh, look: Obama’s on TV again, lying. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) June 7, 2013 Frankly, I don’t know which pisses me off more: Obama’s shameless dishonesty or the White House press corps’ evident indifference to truth.

Because She’s Cute, That’s Why

Some friends have asked why I’m being such a hard-ass about the Kaitlyn Hunt case.
