Salon: 'Wingnuts' Went 'Insane' at Couric's Planned Parenthood Tour
Gary Legum of Salon.com wrote the “antiabortionists” are upset with “perky newswoman” Katie Couric at Yahoo! because “she has dared to take her cameras inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, which looks like a fairly normal medical center and not the blood-soaked abattoir of dismembered baby limbs that conservatives just know it to be in their tiny blackened hearts.”
CNN's Kayyem Frets US Barring Refugees Bolsters European 'Right Wing'
Appearing as a guest during Sunday's live CNN coverage of the Paris terrorist attacks, CNN National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem worried that, if the United States refuses to allow Syrian refugees into the country, that it would bolster "very right-wing elements" in Europe, leading the Europeans to "close their borders" to more refugees.
At about 6:48 p.m., after arguing that it would be…
Japan in Recession Again, So the Answer Must Be Even More 'Stimulus'
Japan's two-decade romance with Keynesian economics has led to another betrayal — and yet the press and all the supposedly smart economists and analysts seem to believe that just one more fling might bring about a different result.
The Land of the Rising Sun, aka the Land of the Two-Decade Zombie Economy, has just reported an annualized contraction of 0.8 percent in the third quarter. The…
Actor Predicts Obama Will Be Viewed 'Very Favorably' Due to Obamacare
Bryan Cranston, the actor probably most known for playing a meth kingpin in the AMC drama Breaking Bad, thinks President Obama’s time in the White House will later be looked upon as “very favorably,” mainly because of what he did with ObamaCare. “I think his legacy will be looked upon, maybe not right now, but in years to come, I think it will be looked upon very favorably because of what he was…
Pundit: GOP Presidential Field ‘Ignorant, Insulting, and Dangerous’
Over the past several years, many former or reformist conservatives have wondered how the Republican party might be reclaimed from its volcanically angry, Fox-News-and-talk-radio-driven base. One ex-conservative, The Week columnist Linker, suggests that righty intellectuals ought to catalyze the process.
In a Friday column, Linker wrote that he couldn’t understand “how an intelligent, well-read…
Two Paris Terrorists Lived in Supposedly Mythical Belgian 'No-Go Zone'
Shortly after the Charlie Hebdo Islamic terrorist murders in Paris in January, the establishment press attacked those who dared to state something quite obvious about "no-go zones" in parts of Europe, i.e., that they exist. The media summarily and unilaterally declared that "no-go zones" were a myth propagated by the likes of Fox News, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, longtime terror expert…
MSNBC Guest: 'Afraid' European Right 'Will Continue to Be on the Rise'
Appearing as a guest during Sunday's MSNBC live coverage of the Paris terrorist attacks, Daily Beast Foreign Editor Christopher Dickey declared that "I'm afraid" that the right wing in Europe "will continue to be on the rise" in the aftermath of the attacks.
NYT Again Downplays Islamic Terror in Initial Paris Coverage
The terrorist shootings and bombings that murdered over 100 people in Paris on Friday were carried out by the group known as ISIS (Islamic State), but there was little discussion of Islam in the front-page coverage of the massacres in Saturday's New York Times. The paper demonstrated an unseemly reluctance to talk seriously about the probable identification of the terrorists, despite their own…
In Lauding Bush 41, Time Hits 'Divisive' Gingrich-Tea Party 'Extremes'
The November 16 issue of Time carried a book excerpt from former Newsweek editor Jon Meacham’s new book lauding former president George H.W. Bush – especially in contrast to "divisive" and unreasonable right-wingers like Newt Gingrich.
The headline was “The fractious GOP tormenting Jeb Bush took shape during the presidency of his father.” Uh, “tormenting”? Can’t there just be a debate? Or would…
Zakaria: 'Violent Response' to Terrorism Is 'Mistake,' 'Stokes Jihad'
On Sunday's Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN, host Zakaria suggested that it would be a "mistake" for the West to make a "swift and violent response" to the Paris terrorist attacks because doing so "further stokes the fires of jihad." He plugged an upcoming segment: "Coming up, it's an all too familiar pattern. A well-planned attack on the West, followed by a swift and violent response that further…

Pajama Boy Appears in GE Commercial
Okay, he isn't THE Pajama Boy but a Pajama Boy that has appeared in a GE commercial for the past few weeks who was obviously inspired by the original. Should you doubt that this is very close copy of the original Pajama Boy, the dialogue should convince you. Meanwhile the original Pajama Boy has failed to capitalize on his notoriety and has faded into relative obscurity as a blogger hyping a…

Peggy Noonan Mocks Sanders Saying ISIS Exacerbated by Climate Change
During an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan strongly rebuked Bernie Sanders’ claim during Saturday’s Democratic presidential debate that climate change has contributed to the rise of ISIS. Noonan argued that Sanders’ statement “makes him to many people look slightly daffy like someone who doesn’t understand what the real subject is” because “[t…
AP Avoids Reporting Obama's Callous 'We Have Contained ISIS' Statement
As of early this morning, Matt Drudge was carrying a link to a story headlining how President Obama is "under fire for saying ISIS 'contained' just hours before Paris attack."
Well, Obama is under some fire, but Drudge's link is to coverage at the UK Daily Mail. That's unfortunately unsurprising, because there is little to no mention of Obama's naive, foolish and callous statement in the U.S.…
