Last night I noticed something rather interesting. Before the breaking news email alerts went out of the suspected “shoe bombing” aboard United Flight 663 the right side of the blogosphere jumped into action. It was like watching a seed turn into a tree in some cartoon where they put some sort of Acme Super Grow […]

From ABC: Federal air marshals subdued a man who authorities say attempted to “light his shoes on fire” on a United flight from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night, federal law enforcement officials told ABC News. Authorities say an explosive team is on the way to the airport, and that while the presence of explosives […]

I got to say there is some merit to what this lady is saying. The man has a history of mental health problems and you got people like FOX that just feed on that.

Wow these people really are about freedom – aren’t they? Beware liberal infiltrators, Tea Party organizers are looking for you. Tricksters aiming to crash next week’s nationwide Tax Day protests to taint the activists as racist will have to dodge the eyes of event organizers, Tea Partiers say. “We are going to very aggressively police […]

And today another crazy gets bagged: The FBI arrested a northern California man Wednesday for allegedly making threatening phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over health care reform, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. Charges against the man have yet to be disclosed, but they are expected to be filed in federal court […]

This could prove interesting for the U.S.: Large-scale protests appear to have overthrown the government of Kyrgyzstan, an important American ally in Central Asia, after violence between riot police officers and opposition demonstrators on Thursday killed at least 17 people. The country’s president, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, fled the capital, Bishkek, on his plane, and the opposition […]

We knew stories like this were only a matter of time: Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them. Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors’ offices, human resources departments and business […]

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 […]

The DNC raised over $13 million in March as compared to the RNC raising $11.4 million. That’s not good news for the RNC’s top fundraiser, Michael Steele. And these numbers are pre-bondagegate. I got a feeling April will be much worse for Steele.

For months the news was inundated with coverage of “illegal activities” by ACORN.  Last night Rachel Maddow showed for the first time the unedited “undercover” video tapes that lead to ACORN’s demise. ACORN has a very good case here against FOX News, James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart. Their quest for ratings have cost a lot […]
