An Ohio agency director resigned Wednesday in the wake of a finding that she improperly used state computers to access personal information on the man who became known as “Joe the Plumber” during the presidential campaign.
Two other officials who were suspended from their positions for their role in the computer search [...]

Earlier I wrote about the outrage expressed by nutroot bloggers over the decision to let Joe Lieberman keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Oversight Committee.
In the wake of that outrage Howard Dean held a blogger conference call with unhinged lefty bloggers, including Jane Hamsher of Firedog Lake. Those paying attention remember Hamsher as [...]

Hat Tip Michelle Malkin:
On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama’s limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple… the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to [...]

Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can be voted down…but it might go to court over it. It thinks you can be reasoned with. It feels pity, remorse, fear, phony compassion, and tons and tons of guilt. And it might stop, before you are dead. Maybe. Or it might maybe undo you.
Doesn’t [...]

So we learned yesterday from the Oprah on her post-election special. Pinch me–am I really watching a black woman who is, and has been for many years, one of the most powerful people in media, and who is one of the richest human beings to ever walk the earth tell me that up [...]

Media As Bad At Math As It Is On Reporting
Leave it up to the lamestream media to pull imaginary numbers out of their butts in announcing that this year’s election turnout was some sort of record high. ABC news touted a George Mason University professor that specializes in elections to make the claim. But as [...]

Conservatives are regrouping and trying to come up with approaches to remarket themselves to Americans. Quin Hillyer thinks it’s too late. He may well be right, but I’m not taking a defeatist attitude. The problem is that, once we give up, he’ll definitely be right.

Screw em. That will be the battle cry of bloggers and talk show radio hosts that are sick of those mind numbingly asinine elitists inside the GOP that are seeking to put blame on anyone but themselves for the losses we suffered in a second consecutive election. The party insiders have nobody to blame but [...]

Update, correction and apology: I got it wrong. It happens but it is no less embarrassing.
In reading through the comments I saw the following from Padananda:
The funny thing is, you don’t seem to have realized that the communists at Grant Park were *opposing* Obama–they see him (rightly) as just a more liberal capitalist and imperialist–they [...]

Russia didn’t wait very long. It just announced that it’s setting up missiles on Poland’s border. I assume Obama will get the leaders of the two nations (plus NATO leaders) together for a nice little coffee klatch.
Russia will deploy missiles near NATO member Poland in response to U.S. missile defense plans, President Dmitry Medvedev said [...]
