Who knew Sun TV News was such a welfare queen?
Dan Gardner calls this an “indecently enjoyable read”. I wholeheartedly agree. Too bad there is not more reporting like this about Fox News North (it really is). The summation (emphasis…
Michele “Crazy Eyes” Bachmann makes cover of Newsweek. Wingnuts not pleased.
Have to admit this week’s cover of Newsweek featuring a crazed-looking Michele Bachmann is not exactly flattering. But it is an accurate portrait. The cover features Bachmann looking like, well,…
S&P on downgrade: “…the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act.”

CNN’s Erick Erickson: “Secular leftists and Islamists are both of this world. Christians may be traveling through, but we are most definitely not of the world.”
Yep, he said that. And I must say, I agree. At least about the ‘leftists’ part. We are definitely of this earth. As for those non-leftists floating around…
