AP: ‘Sense of History Eludes Bush in Radio Attack on Democrats
On Sunday, America's leading wire service published an article that more closely resembled a Democrat talking points memo than anything I've seen in months. In fact, it could have been written by the Democrat that did the response to President Bush's radio address on Saturday. In a piece amazingly entitled "Sense of History Eludes Bush in Radio Attack on Democrats," after quoting some of the…
Google Finally Honors Veterans Day
Having ignored Veterans Day since 1999, Internet behemoth Google has finally chosen to commemorate this holiday by decorating its logo (h/t NB reader Brian Snyder).

'Today' Pits Partisan Dems vs. Reticent Republicans
How overmatched were the two lukewarm-at-best Republicans that "Today" tossed in against two partisan Dems this morning?

Karl Rove Gets Cursed Out for Discussing Netroots Vulgarity
Oh the exquisitely delicious irony. On Thursday, Karl Rove gave a speech about politics and the Internet at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, and, as reported by the Washington Times, commented about the frequent incidence of vulgarity at liberal blogs: Mr. Rove cited the results of a study that found that writers and commenters on liberal blogs such as DailyKos.com cursed far more than…
LAT Continues to Propagate Abortion Falsehoods
A defender of abortion falsely claims in a letter in today's Los Angeles Times (Sat. 11/10/07), "The Bible does mention abortion." The erroneous reader adds that a passage in the Bible, Numbers 5, gives a "a detailed formula designed to end a pregnancy." In fact, the cited passage makes no mention of pregnancy, abortion, or miscarriage whatsoever. The reader's assertions are simply false.Does the…
Think Progress Takes Climate Alarmism to Absurd Degrees
On Thursday, NewsBuster Amy Ridenour reported the hysterical protestations of the liberal blog Think Progress concerning conservative websites like ours having the unmitigated audacity to share with readers the global warming skepticism of The Weather Channel founder John Coleman. Our crime against humanity (emphasis added for your amusement): The right wing should check Coleman's credentials…
