Exclusive footage gives rare insight into life in al Qaeda insurgency

Given how grotesquely liberal and crappy the BBC News was when I lived overseas, I wasn’t feeling too keen on giving France24 the time of day. Let’s face it; thanks to toads like Jacques Chirac, a lot of my fellow Americans, expatriates included, considered the French to be, as that lovely sorbiquet goes… ‘Cheese-eating surrender [...]

Rush Limbaugh: I know I’ll be destroyed eventually

I find it rather hard to believe that someone as so powerful and ubiquitous to political discussion such as Rush Limbaugh would consider himself a target for destruction. For the past 20 years, he has swatted the gnats who attack him with ease and amusement. If he was ever marked for destruction, it probably would [...]

The Long and Foggy War

Hugh Hewitt on Donny Deutsch, Keith Olbermann and MSNBC

Score one for Hugh Hewitt, though it comes at a cost.  While I loathe the idiocy that comes from the mouths of people like Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz, it seems not only harsh but stupid for them to fire Donny Deutsch for not running to the defense of simpletons, even though he tried to [...]

‘Populism of the Privileged’

The insults against the Tea Party get stupider and stupider. James Taranto at the Wall Street Journal explains here.

Jake Tapper’s Latest Experiment: Fact Checking ‘This Week’

Good for Jake Tapper! He is one of the few liberal reporters I respect, and the fact that he will fact-check guests, I think, will make for better television and more honest interviews.
