Yesterday morning Joe Scarborough was providing us with his infinite wisdom by declaring that Americans are mad because their taxes have gone up so much under Obama. Imagine how shocked I am to find out Scarborough is wrong about the tax issue: According to a recent CBS News/New York Times poll, the vast majority of […]
Last week the right erupted over a story published at Pajamas Media by their CEO Roger Simon: The Obama administration is now denying U.S. visas to some Israeli scientists who work at that nation’s Dimona nuclear reactor. This startling reversal of traditional policy was reported April 7, 2010, in the Israeli website/newspaper NRG/Maariv (link to […]
Leave it to Drudge to try and start some more outrage over things that are non-issues: Remember this one on Drudge? Yeah, me neither.
The retirement of Justice Stevens is really not good news for those of us on the left: The leading prospects — U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan and federal appellate judges Merrick Garland and Diane Wood — are relative moderates.

Charges against the man have yet to be disclosed, but they are expected to be filed in federal court […]
I think we are seeing a pattern emerge showing that the right is starting to get worried about the increased violent and slanderous rhetoric from some of their extremes. Let me give a couple of examples pointing to this. First we have Tom Coburn this weekend. Coburn has never been considered what one would call […]
