Four Years Of THIS By Matt Well, since it’s been over a week since the last update, and I could use a break from my latest freelance gig (I’m editing video for the National Enquirer, believe it or not), time for a quick update… Especially since May 31 is somewhat of a special day; it’s the four year anniversary of this website! Yay. Though truth be told, I did have something special planned for today to mark the occasion, that being the first real installment of the podcast, but unfortunately

DNC Chairman Howard Dean’s remarks to the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting: “Years ago a ‘Democratic rules discussion’ was almost an invitation for a food fight in a crowded room like this of Democratic activists.” FOOD FIGHT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=561sjbQTuiY

After 20 years, Obama has decided to cut his ties with his Afrocentrist 'church.' Obama quits Trinity ...announced Saturday evening that he had resigned from his controversial Chicago congregation, Trinity United Church of Christ, “with some sadness.” [...] The move completes Obama’s slow walk away from a church that began receiving huge scrutiny late in the campaign’s primary season. Obama has said he was not present for the most controversial sermons, and said he did not know about them unt

Dr. Rusty Shackleford of My Pet Jawa writes: Given 20/20 hindsight, I've slowly come around the to argument that invading Iraq was a mistake. We shouldn't have invaded Iraq. That decision did not enhance our national security. I don't want to dishearten someone who's on the way to recovery but it does seem RS has a LOT further to go: If our national security is our paramount concern, then disengaging from Iraq would be disastrous. RS quotes another war whore, Ralph Peters of the NY Post: If we

By now you've heard the story. Basically, professional waste of space Michelle Malkin, who has done nothing but try to polarize America and give conservatives a bad name, went on a tirade about the scarf that Rachel Ray wears in a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Malkin said that the scarf, a black and white paisley number with some fringe crap hanging off of it, was, in fact, a nod towards the keffiyeh, which is worn by some terrorists, but is not in itself a terrorists (just like leather isn't gay). She i

This is what Iraqis think about a permanent U.S. military presence in Iraq: Thousands of Iraqis filled the streets of Baghdad’s Sadr City neighborhood this afternoon to demonstrate against a long-term United States presence in Iraq, the first significant anti-American rally in the massive Shiite slum in more than two years. As American helicopters hovered overhead, young and old men and even children flowed out of their weekly Friday prayers and began burning American flags and chanting “no,

I want to stake my claim to that title. In November, I read his stump speech and found its rhetoric bearing no relationship to its proposals. In March, I dissected his speech on race. In May, I noted that Clinton/Obama was a statistical dead heat and that Obama’s delegate lead was a fluke. I pointed out that Obama, the peace candidate, supports a real war to fight the drug war in Colombia. I was the very first blogger to note his crazy remark about regulating our diets. I explained why O

While the main attention has been devoted to the meeting of the rules committee and the ramifications of what remains of the Democratic primary race, there has also been some action in the more meaningful campaign between the presumptive nominees of the two major parties. Barack Obama has taken major steps to counter the perceived, and erroneous, belief that McCain has stronger foreign policy credentials. Greg Sargent wrote yesterday: The Obama and McCain campaigns are battling it out today ov
