President Obama just announced that tomorrow former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will be at the White House to discuss the Haiti relief efforts the two former presidents will lead. It’s great to see our leaders put politics aside to focus on the humanitarian crisis underway in the battered nation of Haiti, especially […]

Last month news broke that the 108 year old Editor and Publisher was shutting down. Yesterday that news was put to rest with some good news. Editor and Publisher has been sold and is now back in business: Editor & Publisher, the only independent news organization reporting on all aspects of the transforming newspaper business, […]

Actually the White House budget director gives a very sound and reasonable explanation: A big reason why the government is inefficient and ineffective is because Washington has outdated technology, with federal workers having better computers at home than in the office.

CALLER: No. LIMBAUGH: But would you trust that your name is gonna end up on the mailing list for the Obama people to start asking you […]

A statement was put out by CBN yesterday: On today’s The 700 Club, during a segment about the devastation, suffering and humanitarian effort that is needed in Haiti, Dr. Robertson also spoke about Haiti’s history. His comments were based on the widely-discussed 1791 slave rebellion led by Boukman Dutty at Bois Caiman, where the slaves […]

Watching MSNBC this morning I haven’t seen any mention of Freedom Works, the force behind the Tea Party, urging President Obama and Congress to not help out Haiti. It’s amazing to think about. Whenever there is any news about the tea party, the mainstream media is like a crowd trying to enter Wal-Mart on black […]
