Is the fight to preserve the traditional American family one to, as its proponents maintain, protect children, or is it means by which to silence the “radical gay agenda” in the United States through institutionalized shame? Cindy Lederman, a Miami-Dade circuit judge, is convinced it’s the latter.
Lederman’s landmark ruling, a move likely to elicit [...]
Was Joe Biden’s nomination for Vice President – a pick elicited first by the criticisms of Hillary Clinton, then John McCain, for Barack Obama’s relative foreign policy inexperience – a shallow attempt to dispel the disparaging ‘naiveté’ narrative? Will Vice President Cheney, a man who has expanded the powers of the Office of the Vice [...]
Samantha Power, Barack Obama’s former senior foreign policy advisor, has taken a position in Obama’s State Department transition team, though it is remains unclear if Powers will get a permanent position in the department, reports the AP.
After joining Team Hope, Men’s Vogue gratuitously characterized Power as a “Harvard brainiac who can boast both a Pulitzer Prize and a [...]
After being dealt a serious blow today by the Minnesota state Canvassing board, who, much to the ire of Team Franken, refused to re-examine rejected absentee ballots, Al Franken’s band of merry men were forced to regroup, but vowed to continue their fight in a press conference.
According to Marc Elias, Franken’s lead recount attorney, the [...]
Does Vice President-elect Joe Biden have a future in tarot card reading?
FLASHBACK October 19, 2008: The loquacious then-Senator Biden told a crowd in Seattle, Washington to “gird their loins,” for the world will be watching and will test the mettle of Barack Obama:
And here’s the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my [...]
By night Augustina Mourelatos (seen to the right, sporting a not-so appealing midriff) is an adult entertainer, but by day she’s a “committed” Franken observer and vote challenger in Stearns County, Minnesota.
Coincidence the stripper falls for the Playboy writer? I think not.
Evidently Ms. Mourelatos isn’t so, umm, giving in her day job, it seems. Acting [...]
John McCain’s loss ushered in broad and swift accusations of poor campaigning, poor messaging, and, in essence, taking too many pages from Bob Dole’s failed ’96 campaign. Jilted staffers, now jockeying for jobs in the opposition, are hemorrhaging campaign secrets, and yes, rumors at light speed pace (i.e., Q: Where’s “Africa,” Sarah? A: Ohhh, don’t [...]
Yes, I’ll take a Number 3, a large Coca-Cola, and, ohh, are you all out of naked pictures?
Here’s an obvious tip (barring Arkansans): If you have inappropriate pictures of your wife (husband, significant other) on your phone, don’t leave it at McDonalds for some unsuspecting, biggie-sized patrons to stumble upon them.
Phillip Sherman of Arkansas learned [...]
Breaking from the conservative pack, I saw the Emanuel appointment as a (hopeful, though not definitive) sign the Obama administration would operate in a centrist fashion. But, hope has its limits.
Ellen Moran, Executive Director of EMILY’s List, has been tapped by Obama to serve as White House Communications Director, a largely behind-the-scenes position, but one which [...]
Per the AP, British health experts have begun lobbying Parliament to explore a possible ban on happy hours – designated times for discounted drinks in bars – to stem the growing “epidemic” of liver disease.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a government spokesman said the ban will be evaluated when an independent study on binge [...]
Townhall’s Amanda Carpenter is reporting Barack and Michelle Obama have selected Sidwell Friends – the same school Chelsea Clinton attended – for their two girls, Sasha and Malia.
Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, currently attend University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, one of Chicago’s premier private schools, but will make the transition to the Washington-area private [...]
The easily excitable, awkwardly blonde Chris Matthews admitted today, on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” what those of us from the McCain and Clinton campaigns understood quite well: He’s “partial” to Obama.
While Matthews’ comments today may be the first “on the record” admission of his budding bromance, he was often caught swooning over the young Illinois [...]
Proof that the “elite, hollywood liberals” look down on their own constituents, even their own voters?
Even the observers and lawyers have been instructed by their respective campaigns to not talk to the media. But Minneapolis lawyer Bill Starr, who is volunteering for the Franken campaign, was willing to say a few words. He said he thinks Franken will prevail. His hunch is based on a theory he has.
Harry Reid is, by all accounts, salivating for a Franken victory; one which would mean 59 Democratic Senators – just shy of the 60 needed to prevent a Republican filibuster – though Democrats will cross the threshold when Joe Lieberman joins the caucus. And Al Franken aims to make this scary nightmare an even more [...]
