Democrats Spinning New York Special Election Results
Tweet Share on Facebook May 27, 2011 Comment (52)The New York Times’ Gail Collins calls it the “Democratic Happy Dance”—that breathless, gleeful coverage of the Democrats’ win in the special election held this week in New York’s 26th Congressional District. Charlie Cooks suggests that perhaps some decaf would be in order, and I couldn’t agree more. The left is trying to portray the win as a repudiation of the Ryan Medicare plan that puts Democrats back in the speaker’s chair by 2012, but let’s take a look at what the mainstream media is not reporting:

Democrats’ Medicare Attacks Show They Think Voters Are Stupid
Tweet Share on Facebook May 21, 2011 Comment (44)Clearly the Ryan plan to save Medicare is a huge threat to the Democratic Party. Here’s a clue that it’s hitting a nerve, a new ad by the far-left Agenda Project just out yesterday. In it, “Grandma” is wheeled up to the edge of a cliff by a Paul Ryan look alike, and then tossed over the edge in an effort to show what his Medicare proposals would do to current seniors. If you want to teach your kids what demagoguery looks like, show them this video.

Aaron Schock's Men's Health Photo Shoot Was Right On
Tweet Share on Facebook May 13, 2011 Comment (2)Helloooo ladies. We haven’t had this much fun since the Old Spice Guy arrived in our lives! I’m talking about Aaron Schock, the Republican congressman from Illinois who is currently on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. I highly recommend that you take a look, I mean, read this article. And at the risk of sounding like one of those guys who says he reads Playboy magazine “for the interviews,” you really should read the interview. You’ll be one of the few who do—it’s hard to focus on the print rather than the photos—but it’s worth it.

After bin Laden's Death, Obama Has Had a Very Uneven Week
Tweet Share on Facebook May 6, 2011 Comment (7)President Obama’s actions this week since the death of Osama bin Laden are getting mixed reviews. Some, like Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post, thought his tone was appropriately humble at his visit yesterday to Ground Zero. “The president was visible to the general public only from a distance, slim and silver-headed and discreet in a dark suit and bright necktie, and he made no public remarks,” she wrote. Later, he had a private lunch with firefighters and made only brief remarks. Others, Peggy Noonan among them, said the visit had the feel of doing a victory lap. Noonan thinks Obama is making a big mistake: “He has spent almost every moment since his Sunday night speech displaying both a tin ear and a chronic tendency to misunderstand his own country. His refusal to release more evidence that Osama is dead is allowing a great story to dissolve into a mystery. He is letting a triumph turn into a conspiracy theory.”
