That hopey-changey thing

How’s that working out? President Obama's post-partisan America has disappeared, replaced by the politics of polarization, resentment and division. In a Univision interview on Monday, the president, who campaigned in 2008 by referring not to a "Red America" or a "Blue America" but a United States of America, urged Hispanic listeners to vote in this […]

Miss him yet?

It took President George W. Bush a heck of a lot longer to get this unpopular. Says [Democrat pollster Doug] Schoen: "Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president." Worse, Schoen adds, "43 percent say that […]

Vote Yes on Prop. 23

Proposition 23 in California will suspend the state’s global warming law until the state unemployment rate falls below 5.5% for 4 consecutive quarters. The one thing you don’t want to be doing in this economic environment is raising costs on consumers and businesses. (For the record: The stupid law ought to be repealed wholesale, but […]

This is gonna be big

A couple weeks back, an East San Diego County school board candidate asked for my prediction on the upcoming midterm elections. My guess then: GOP +55 House, GOP +8 Senate. Now, that’s going against the historic grain for one reason: In the past century or so, every time control of the House has flipped, the […]

Graph of the day

This was posted about a week and a half ago over at the Heritage Foundation’s blog. Read it and weep. You’d think that the Obama administration might ask itself what it’s doing wrong, rather than simply saying: They understand, it’s Bush’s fault.

Journalists are a bunch of pussies

Speaking truth to power? Holding people accountable? The Fourth Estate? Watchdogs? Bolshevik Storytelling is what that is. The overwhelming majority of American journalists today are pussies who take pride in the fact that they’re somehow better than their readers and think they’re displaying bravery when they’re merely enforcing a liberal orthodoxy. The latest evidence is […]

What does it take to get fired?

Over my years in newspapers I made a note of what it took people to get fired because far too often incompetence wasn’t one of them. What did get people fired? Discussing a potential job with a competing paper at the office within earshot of your supervisor. Calling in “sick” and then appearing at a […]

Demagoging the court

You’ve heard the lines: “The people vs. the powerful,” “Pro-business court,” “Main St. vs. Wall Street.” President Obama and the liberal left level these charges whenever a Supreme Court Decision doesn’t go their way. There’s a case before the Supreme Court right now over whether the family of a girl can sue drug giant Wyeth […]
