Taking A Candidates Word For It
Earlier today, the New York Times Public Editor Arthur Brisbane wrote an interesting piece that delved into the question of whether the news media should add disclaimers to quotes by political figures that can demonstrably be proven false. Brisbane phrased it like this: I’m looking for reader input on whether and when New York Times news reporters should [...]
Happy New Hampshire Primary Day
Or, happy End-of-The-GOP-Primary day. Latest polls out show downward momentum for Romney and upward momentum for Huntsman. But none of it really matters. The size of the number separating first place (Romney) the rest of the field is too large for any last minute change of fortune. If there is, you will see a lots [...]
Iowa Caucuses Live Blog
All day today I’ll be pseudo live blogging about the Iowa Caucuses and the GOP 2012 nomination in general. All times are EST. 2:37 – Romney wins. Changes little, but makes my prediction picture perfect, so I’m happy about that. Good night! 2:10 – Twitter is ablaze with reports about a 14 point margin in [...]
Non-Existent Voter Fraud Strikes Again

Wisconsin ABC 12 (12/14/2011): “Mickey Mouse, Adolf Hitler Allowed on Wis.

Cain v. The Media
In a recent interview with Fox News Herman Cain’s Chief of Staff, Mark Block, stated that Herman Cain’s campaign was considering suing Politico.com. On the scandal, Block said, “we have ran a different kind of campaign and we are not going to play by the rules that the media has established. The fact of the matter [...]
A Complete Mess
The Cain camp’s handling of the allegations of sexual harassment have been downright bad. Since the release of the Politico piece that broke the story of the allegations, the messages coming from the Cain campaign have been contradictory and unconvincing. Most recently they have taken to blaming the Perry campaign for releasing the information that led to the Politico story. [...]
Political Derangement Syndrome
My last post earned me some flack. I should have expected it, as whenever someone lends a word of support for our last president or criticizes the criticism of him it is often akin to siding with a villain of sorts. Its inconceivable to some that one might actually defend the man, our former commander in chief, George W. Bush. To [...]
Double Standards
This incident is a quite disturbing: PORTLAND — Occupy Maine protesters say Sunday morning’s attack with a chemical explosive has left them with a mixture of anxiety and resolve. “We are more motivated to keep doing what we’re doing,” said Stephanie Wilburn, of Portland, who was sitting near where the chemical mixture in a Gatorade [...]
Occupy Iraq comes to an end much to the dismay of John McCain
I’m not too sure why anybody is giving John McCain news coverage anymore, but apparently he’s not too happy that the Iraq War will come to a definitive end when the last American troop returns home in December: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says an agreement could have been reached to keep more American troops in [...]
