    Everyone who has read this blog over the last 6 years knows that Matt and I have not agreed on too many things and because of that I have never supported his campaigns or even voted for him.

    Can America withstand another one?

    Or don't.  It'll just get in the way of Obama's narrative that the mainstream press is more than willing to trumpet.  It goes like this: Bush is gone.  The economy [...]

  • 'Reporting' At Its Finest

    From On High

    In a Reuters story that focuses on the possible motives behind the mass slaughter on the Ft. Hood Army base Thursday (like the gunman screaming, "Allah akbar!" wasn't clue enough), "reporter" Chris Blatimore just had to get these shots in (pardon the pun):
    The United States has been engaged in' [...]
