I have taken the liberty of including some marginal comments (in italics) to the full [...] Is there a Pulitzer Prize for shoddiness?
Today, I did something that Pulitzer Prize-winning NYTimes columnist Nick Kristof apparently didn’t do: I talked to a spokesman at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon.
I called them up after OHSU’s Dr. Johnny Delashaw left a comment about Kristof’s piece [...]
Without using the word:
“In his speech to the nation last night, President Obama claimed that ‘Commanders in Afghanistan repeatedly asked for support to deal with the reemergence of the Taliban, but these reinforcements did not arrive.’ Such a bald misstatement, at least as it pertains to the period I [...]
Obama’s health care takeover was almost derailed in the House of Representatives by a group of pro-life Democrats who supported the Stupak amendment, which made abortions clearly not a covered service in the plan. They gave the margin of victory.
The Senate doesn’t seem so thrilled with [...]

C’mon everyone! Get forced by law into the health care pool and get “managed!”
After falling poll numbers and crushing rebukes in Virginia and New Jersey in November, President Obama, the One, the gifted, the solver of all problems, the most electrifying man in sports entertainment…..oh, that was the Rock. Sorry.

In response to news of President Obama receiving the Nobel Prize for peace, an e-mail from a reader recalled a black classmate's comments upon graduating from high school many years ago. When asked to list the advantages and disadvantages of being black, [...]
As decreed by the Papacy of Politico (and whittled down to this excerpt by your bluntly truthful host with my comments sprinkled therein):
Here are seven storylines Obama needs to worry about:
He thinks he’s playing with Monopoly money
When in fact he's playing with my money and your money.
Too much Leonard' [...]
Ahmadinejad is clearly thumbing his nose at Obama:
Iran's government will build 10 new sites to enrich uranium, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday, a dramatic expansion of the country's nuclear program and one that is bound to fuel fears that it is attempting to produce a [...]
President Obama’s Dec. 1 speech about his decision on the Bananastans (Afghanistan and Pakistan) is unlikely to surprise anyone. The sanctioned leaks have been coming fast and furious the past few days, and it appears that Gen. Stanley McChrystal will get what he asked for. Maybe.

President Obama will announce his big decision about Afghanistan on Tuesday. The sanctioned leaks about what he’ll say are coming fast and furious.
According to various reports, he’ll commit somewhere between 30,000 and 34,000 extra U.S. troops to the region. When he announces that, [...]
Lauri Regan expounds:

Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie's seal of approval.
"She hates him," a source close to the U.N.' [...]
President Barack Obama is about to make the biggest mistake of 21st century by sending 34,000 more troops to Afghanistan.
