When you have one of the best known conservative writers on economics go after the standard GOP talking points that we need more tax cuts for the rich, you know that the right is in trouble. On Bill O’Reilly, Ben Stein did just that: Dave Edwards offers this awesome outtake from this confrontation: O’Reilly went […]
This week the Blogger Platform suffered an outage that lasted over 24 hours. Blogger, which is owned by Google, is a very popular and free platform for publishing blogs.

CNN president Jonathan Klein reportedly told Dobbs months ago that he wanted Dobbs to tone down his opinions. It’s hard to imagine […]
That was the advice Joe Scarborough had for his “conservative brethren” this morning. You think Joe would know that his party has always been the greatest embracers of conspiracy theories.
