NYT columnist — this belongs on syfy »
As we continue to build up carbon in the atmosphere to unprecedented levels, we never know when the next emitted carbon molecule will tip over some ecosystem and trigger a nonlinear climate event -- like melting the Siberian tundra and releasing all of its methane, or drying up the Amazon or melting all the sea ice in the North Pole in summer. And [...]
Shaeffer: Christianity is the heart of the problem »
... The fact is that if you're going to blame one group above all others for the willful ignorance and continuing ugliness of the response to President Obama the best candidate would be the evangelical/fundamentalist community. The angry part of the South Carter spoke of is racist because it's dominated by a certain type of "Christian" [...]
African American ESPN newscaster is ‘very »
I'm very, very disturbed---as an African American growing up on the streets of New York City, I understand what poverty is all about, I understand what trials and tribulations mean but at the same time I'm looking at what we're witnessing from our president, a man that I voted for, a man that I was proud to vote for at the time, simply from a [...]
A liberal assessment of the 9-12 D.C. rally »
Logically, there is no way I can assess the collective motivations of 70,000 people in Washington, or the tens of thousands of people who showed up at other events across the country. And, in truth, I confess to having an inner Maureen Dowd voice — and not the snarky part of that voice — but the voice that tells me that these protests are [...]
What a NYT columnist heard in Joe Wilson’s »
The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind. Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t. But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the [...]
Chris Wallace calls White House PR officials »
When I covered Ronald Reagan for NBC in the 80s, some days you'd do a good piece, a positive piece and some days you'd do a tough piece, and you'd come in the next day and they always treated you professionally and I think it came from the top-down, from the old man, Reagan, who felt 'you know, I'm going to get a good review today, a bad review [...]
Brent Bozell: conservative protesting? a copyright »
It’s very easy to be outraged by the way our "objective" media greeted the massive September 12 rally against Big Government in Washington and across the country. They treated it as a menacing surge of white anger, meanness, and racism. But all the media bias against this rally clearly illustrates one nagging truth for media liberals: they [...]
J. R. Dunn: Obama is no ‘political »
We need to sit down, take a deep breath, and look closely at Obama and his collection of goofs without fears or illusions. What we will see is no political Godzilla but a hack pol elected to a position well above his abilities and trying to trigger a national social revolution using cheap Chicago ward-style political tactics. This man is [...]
Clarice Feldman: ‘this is a wretched political »
The feeling I have is that this is a wretched political class, as full of itself as it is idea-less and talentless and the people know it. They are disgusted enough with the new American elitism to travel on their own dime by any means available to come here to let Congress and the President know that they will use every legal means at their [...]
James Taranto: ‘one consolation of losing are »
The one consolation of losing our freedom is that if the ObamaCare mandate passed, it would be fun to see the look on all those silly young voters' faces when they realize that the guy they so fervently supported is going to force them to turn over a large share of their meager earnings to insurance companies. James Taranto, editor of The [...]
