HuffPo: 'How the Paris Attacks Make a Global Climate Deal More Likely'
November 19th, 2015 7:34 PM
Sheesh! Talk about a completely misplaced set of priorities! In the wake of the Paris terror attacks last week in which hundreds were killed and wounded, what is now the main concern for Huffington Post reporter Daniel Marans? How the attacks will make a global climate deal more likely. In this, he sure sounds like he is as tone deaf as Brian Williams who expressed the same concern during the…
Liberal HuffPo Correspondent Doubts Dem Candidates Fiscal Policy
November 16th, 2015 8:30 PM
Jonathan Cohn is the reliably liberal senior national correspondent for the Huffington Post. Therefore, one must take notice when he subjected the fiscal policy answers of the Democrat presidential candidates to a robust vetting after their Saturday debate and found them quite wanting. Cohn's problem is he thinks the candidates should be honest about having to increase taxes. You really expect…
Oh Aragorn: LOTR Actor Reads Philosophical Nonsense in National Anthem

Never has an actor shown how dependent he is on good writing than Viggo Mortensen. Without J.R.R. Tolkien putting words in his mouth, the erstwhile Aragorn of Lord of the Rings sounds confused at best, and often downright idiotic. Never more so than in a recent interview wherein he meditated on the semantics of The Star-Spangled Banner.
HuffPo Denies Policy Change in Trump Coverage But Quickly Relapses
October 30th, 2015 2:00 PM
Last Monday your humble correspondent pointed out what was apparently a lapse in the absurd Huffington Post policy initiated in July to only cover Donald Trump on its Entertainment, not Politics, page. However, the Huffington Post denied to WND and Adweek that there was any such change in a policy which, the longer Trump remains in the lead, makes them look like a laughingstock for stubbornly…
HuffPo Bowing to Reality? Trump Stories Appear on Their Politics Page
October 26th, 2015 7:46 PM
Reality can be brutal, especially political reality as the Huffington Post seems to have found out. Back in July the Huffington Post went all in on the notion that the Donald Trump candidacy would be ephemeral so they could get away with displaying their bias by consigning Trump stories to the entertainment, not politics page. Unfortunately for them, Donald Trump not only lasted through the rest…

Business
October 21st, 2015 2:37 PM
Mandates are a predictable liberal solution for problems both real and percieved. The Huffington Post proved it again when it argued for a federal mandate for paid sick leave, claiming a new study offered a “compelling” reason for the law.
The attention grabbing headline from Oct. 21, claimed, “Flu Rate Would Decline Significantly If the U.S. Mandated Paid Sick Leave.”
The numbers beg to differ…

“You’re my zucchini, sweetie.”
That could be a common term of endearment, if you believe this ridiculous article from the Huffington Post.
“Wait,” you say, “What are you talking about, again?”
Oh, didn’t you know? There’s now dozens of ways to tell people what gender and sexuality you are -- according to the left, that is.
As Limbaugh Demonstrates: The Media’s Lockstep Leftist Talking Points
October 13th, 2015 8:42 AM
We’ve time and again seen the media receive their messaging orders - and then march off all mouthing the Leftist talking point(s) of the day. Washington, D.C.-based talk radio host Chris Plante quotes a military friend of his describing the media not as a gaggle, but as a centipede. Multitudinous legs in coordinated movement - all headed in the same direction.

Huffington Post: Blame 'Hegemonic Masculinity' for Mass Shootings
October 10th, 2015 3:46 PM
In the aftermath of the murderous rampages like the recent one in Oregon, some weep for the dead and pray for the wounded. Others, such as the Huffington Post feminist Soraya Chemaly, exploit such barbaric acts of violence to push their own political narratives. As stated in Chemaly’s headline, the real culprit behind mass shootings like the one in Oregon is “Masculinity, Masculinity, Masculinity…

According to a candid two-hour interview with SHOW studio, Mr. Kardashian is up in arms with the fashion industry for being discriminatory against him. This isn’t a “hands up don’t shoot,” #blacklivesmatter discrimination though. West…

'USA Today' and 'Huff Po' Try To Turn Baseball Fights Into Race Riots
Culture
October 1st, 2015 3:40 PM
The old journalism adage of “If it bleeds, it leads,” is a well-known one. A modern innovation of that saying, to suit the race-obsessed liberal sports media hell-bent on stoking the flames of racial hatred, might be: “If it’s not bleeding, poke it, and see what happens.” Such a mentality was clearly in use when USA Today writer Jorge Ortiz penned an article titled “Baseball’s culture clash: Vast…
Environmentalists Rage Over AP Dropping ‘Climate Change Denier’
Business
September 25th, 2015 3:11 PM
Associated Press (AP), the arbiters of style for journalism, issued new rules related to global warming and climate change coverage, infuriating liberal environmentalists.
Their anger stemmed from AP’s guidance which said to use the label “climate change doubters” or “those who reject mainstream climate science” when discussing those that do not accept man-made climate change, rather than “…

Ultra-lefty actress and comedian Margaret Cho is feeling the Bern. And apparently her choice to support self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders caused her great anguish because she is also an adoring Hilary Clinton fan.
Recently on HuffPost Live, Cho was asked if she had any intentions to run for office someday.
“I’m not sure if I have the, uh, moral fiber and fortitude and integrity that it…
