Reading through the blog posts about the new FTC regulations on bloggers there is a definite split on it. The left seems to welcome the decision while the right is upset over it. For example, here is a post by tea bagger Dana Loesch: Because Uncle Sam think the public is too stupid to make […]
Drudge: Now for the actual headline: From they “may” fire to they are planning to fire in one quick swoop of Drudge’s keyboard. Then if you read the first paragraph of the article you find out more: North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii on American Independence Day, according to Japanese intelligence […]
Gallup released a poll today that the right is in love with: A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves “pro-life” on the issue of abortion and 42% “pro-choice.” This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question […]
It’s time to tear apart some of these Republican myths, and in just one paragraph of Bobby Jindal’s speech we saw many: While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail […]
I posted the email last night that John McCain sent out stating he would be running for re-election in 2010. The email, as with all of these, was mainly for the purpose of fundraising. But let’s take a look at one key paragraph and what McCain is using to stimulate his fundraising: The economic challenges […]
I love reading the right wing blogosphere attempt to spin all the new polls, especially the CBS/New York Times poll which has Obama up by 14%.

I read the first paragraph of this AP article and my head started spinning: Republicans dismissed as political theater a Democratic plan for an all-night session of the Senate to debate President Bush’s military strategy in Iraq amid bipartisan proposals to redeploy U.S. troops. So actually having a debate on how to end a war […]
Another “war” we are losing thanks to George Bush: State Department report on terrorism due out next week will show a nearly 30 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2006 to more than 14,000, almost all of the boost due to growing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. officials said Friday. The annual report’s […]
MissLaura pointed out this interesting paragraph from a Washington Post article: Vice President Cheney today repeated his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach toward the Iraq war would benefit al-Qaeda, saying that he was not trying to impugn the speaker’s patriotism but instead hold her accountable for the consequences of her policies. O.K. I’ll […]
There is all this flack over Rich Little headlining the Correspondents’ dinner this year. Reading the article on Editor and Publisher, I was amused at the final paragraph: Scully has said that the choice of Little, who practices a milder former of humor than Colbert, had nothing to do with any controversy surrounding Colbert’s performance […]
