I’ve got just one thing to say about this California budget fiasco: var addthis_pub = ‘deucegeary’; I was caught by surprise by MSNBC’s blunt headline on its article concerning Nancy Pelosi’s audience with Pope Benedict: Pope to Pelosi: Catholics cannot back abortion. But something in the first paragraph of the article really caught my eye. Jonathan Singer at MyDD parts ways with Chief Justice John Roberts on the desirability of having nothing but former federal appellate justices on the United States Supreme Court, as it is now composed for the first time in its history. I can sympathize, up to a point. It probably doesn’t hurt for a court, and [...] This sniveling by lefties over the lopsided commercial success of conservative talk radio is so unbecoming. Bill Press embarrasses himself in the below clip, in which Fox News’s Megyn Kelly takes him on over the fairness doctrine. Celebrating reaching the Sitemeter milestone of one million hits on his young blog “The Other McCain,” McCain offers some characteristically witty advice for generating traffic. Since I’ve fallen a little over 995,000 hits behind R.S.’s pace, I read his post closely, and here’s the advice that really struck me: ”Write stuff people might want to read.” Lots of bloggery today over the apparent dichotomy of views between President Obama and Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens over whether the stimulus package will allow Caterpillar to rehire laid off workers. This apparently is not just a divergence of views on the efficacy of the stimulus packge, but on what the CEO said about it. [...] I’d say a little tweaking is in order when the advertising algorithm displays this ad: at self-described anti-Jihad blog Infidels are Cool, which features this header photo: I’m guessing the click-through rate from Infidels are Cool isn’t too high. var addthis_pub = ‘deucegeary’; Usually, I view warnings that we are headed for socialism, like this one at Confederate Yankee, as a little over the top. But Newsweek has given me reason to reconsider: New York Times columnist Judith Warner had a dream: According to Newsweek: . . . in a wickedly funny parody of both the embattled stimulus package and commercials for erectile dysfunction drugs, now airing at Reason Magazine’s blog. Click the image to watch . . . and pay careful attention to the generic name for the drug near the bottom of the screen at the end [...] So concludes NRO’s editorial last month regarding the executive orders concerning Gitmo and other anti-terrorism measures that President Obama signed two days after his inauguration: The St. Petersburg Times has started a page at its PolitiFact site for tracking President Obama’s progress (or lack thereof) on campaign promises. The Obameter’s ambitious mission: Dan Riehl seems to think so. var addthis_pub = ‘deucegeary’; As you probably already know, Ben Stein bowed out of speaking at University of Vermont’s commencement ceremony. Apparently, students were upset by Stein’s creationist views, which he aired last year in the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. I haven’t seen that movie, not because I had some concerns about accusations that he had hoodwinked people [...] Remember how we conservatives were so upset when Democrats labeled increased spending as “cuts” merely because the increase in a budget was not as big as expected or asked for? Huh? Remember that? OK, so folks may not exactly be clamoring for the honor of “Honorary Skepticrat,” but it just popped into my head when I caught a few minutes of Tammy Bruce’s radio show Saturday afternoon. What did she do to earn it?
