A Stumbling, Bumbling, Frum-bling Endorsement of Romney -- As Frum Fri
Kevin Drum at Mother Jones is alarmed at the pretzel-twisting politics of David Frum as he endorses Mitt Romney for president. His title: “The GOP Will Destroy America If We Reelect Obama, So We Must Let the GOP Win.”
At The Daily Beast – where many of the nation’s most annoying ex-conservatives or never-were-conservatives are ensconced – Frum declared he would vote for Romney, and then…

Bozell Column: Ellen DeGeneres, The 'Sacred Cow' of PBS
The PBS broadcast of the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize on October 30 was a festival of tributes to Ellen DeGeneres – which is fine, since she is quite talented comedically. But it wasn’t so much a tribute for the comedy as it was for her pioneering work promoting homosexuality.

Shocking HuffPo Headline: 'Anger Grows In Outer NY Boroughs, NJ Over S
With just four days to go before the elections, and Obama's media doing everything within their power to ignore the subject of Benghazi, Libya, you would think they'd also be turning a blind eye to disaster relief problems in areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy.
That's why I was shocked to see this headline at the Huffington Post a few hours ago: "Anger Grows In Outer NY Boroughs, NJ Over…

The brand new (November 17) People magazine just arrived in mailboxes (like ours), and it contains a two-page “Election Cheat Sheet.” Under “Vital Stats,” it lists “Barack Hussein Obama, 51: A.K.A. ‘Barry’ to his childhood friends. ‘[My father] probably used Barry because it was easier to pronounce,’ Obama has written.”
Now for low-information voters, couldn’t this be misconstrued as (a)…

Scott Rasmussen Column: An Unpredictable End to a Predictable Election
Election 2012 has had few surprises. So it's somewhat surprising that heading into the final weekend of the election season, we are unable to confidently project who is likely to win the White House.
All year long, the economy has been the No. 1 issue of the campaign. That hasn't changed. While Mitt Romney has a slight advantage when it comes to handling the economy, neither candidate has…
