The horrible accident that befell Kaitlyn Lasitter, well it rips your heart out. A bubbly, well-liked Kentucky teen girl just at the beginning her life suffers a grievous, life-changing injury in an accident at an amusement park, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom.

An Obama Presidency Will Set Race Relations Back Decades
-By Warner Todd Huston
I know some conservative Republicans who almost wouldn’t mind if Barack Obama does win the White House in November. Their theory is that once we as a nation elect a black man to the White House, that election will forever eliminate the claim that Americans are racist because we won’t elect a [...]
Chris Matthews Holding Long Time Grudge Against Arianna Huffington?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Let’s take a little time off of more serious matters for some juicy gossip. Over at gawker.com there is a somewhat humorous little tale of an MSNBC photo shoot that saw TV yaker Chris Matthews of “thrill going up my leg” fame storming out after being told he might be required to [...]
When a Union Tries to Go Beyond its Role
-By Warner Todd Huston
We have talked numerous times about the current internal fight of the SEIU here on the blog. It is a titanic fight between old style, rank-and-file interests, and a sort of new-fangled, top heavy style of leadership more interested in national issues and less in the average member. It has left many [...]
Obama Sought Endorsement of Marxist Third Party in 1996
-By Warner Todd Huston
Here is some interesting as well as character confirming info about one of Barack Obama’s former runs for office. Apparently, Obama actively sought and received the stamp of approval of a Marxist third party that operated briefly in Chicago between 1992 and 1998.

Hollywood Feud: Clint Eastwood vs Spike Lee
-By Warner Todd Huston
In this corner, Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry himself. And in that corner, the self-appointed guardian of America’s black population, Spike Lee. It’s shaping up to be a battle royale, folks, with Lee rabbit punching the aging action star while Eastwood uses his smarts and experience to deliver a knock out blow.
In [...]
Democrat Admits Democrats Lied About Stopping War
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Hill is reporting that Rep. Paul Kanjorski (Dem., PA) told an audience at a town meeting that the Democrat Party was basically lying when they said they’d stop the war if they were elected as the majority during the 2006 midterms. One would think that such an explosive admission would be [...]
Two Short Ones From UPI…
-By Warner Todd Huston
Today, I have two short United Press International stories that each have bias in them, but aren’t worth a long, drawn out fisking of their own. So I’m combining them into one Newsbusters report. The first UPI report characterizes a Dutch anti-Islam cartoon as having been “found most offensive,” as if it [...]
In Twofer, Paper Makes Fun of American History And Capitalism At same Time
-By Warner Todd Huston
Here is a story in a small paper in Philadelphia that serves as a fine example of the junk that all too often passes for “journalism” in America today. This example is as ridiculously anti-intellectual and dismissive of the importance of preserving our history as it is anti-corporate. It’s a fine example [...]
‘Dear American Voter’ – George Soros Says The World Should Pick Our President
-By Warner Todd Huston
We’ve seen it over and over, people in Europe who imagine that they should be allowed to vote U.S. presidential elections. Some of these people imagine that they should have a voice in our elections because, they say, America is so supremely powerful that the man who becomes our president makes decisions [...]
Paper Makes Bigot of Principal Who Resigns Over High School’s ‘Gay Club’
-By Warner Todd Huston
A small paper in South Carolina called The Statesman indulged in some blatant hetero bashing this week in a story about a high school principal who resigned because of his convictions that the school should not allow a homosexual club to be started in his school. Naturally, the paper tries to make [...]
Tenn. Declares Only Dumbest Kids Wanted for State Jobs
-By Warner Todd Huston
It’s true. The State of Tennessee has officially declared that from this point forward it will accept only less educated student applicants for state, county and city jobs in the Volunteer State. Why would the kindly folks in Nashville make such a stupid rule? Well, it’s all about control, you see. The [...]
Teachers Union Sues Illinois School for ‘Bad Air Quality’
-By Warner Todd Huston
Proving once again that we live in an overly litigious society, a teachers union in Belleville, Illinois has decided that instead of working through the regular channels to fix classrooms and to eliminate mold and dampness caused by building maintenance troubles, they had to stampede straight for the courts to get it [...]
Daily Kos Photochop Depicts Michelle Obama Being Tortured by Klan Members
-By Warner Todd Huston
Yesterday, Barack Obama began crying again. Someone should remind him… there’s no crying in politics. He has whined that we can’t use his middle name, he has whined when we bring up his close relations with aging hippy terrorists, that we ask aloud about his “spiritual mentor, the racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright, [...]
‘New Yorkers Are Smarter Than Other Americans’
-By Warner Todd Huston
Speaking as a Chicagoan, I get my “second city” dander up every time I hear people who live in New York City patting themselves on the back and blathering aloud about how much better they are than the rest of us peons in flyover country. Usually this sort of arrogant bravado is [...]
Appeasing Hitler ‘Not Unreasonable’?
-By Warner Todd Huston
In an effort to back up Obama’s gaffe that he’ll “talk” to anyone, even terrorists, as if diplomacy in and of itself was a cure all, editorial writer Bruce Ramsey of the Seattle Times has made a gaffe of his own that, in essence, makes the claim that negotiating with Adolf Hitler [...]
Union’s ‘Secret Pact’ With Employers, Other Unions Raises Eyebrows
-By Warner Todd Huston
As president of the Services Employee International Union (SEIU), Andy Stern has presided over a union that has grown impressively while at the same time just about every other union in the country has diminished in size and power. Some might think this a tremendous victory for president Stern. But how he [...]
Democrats Use Fake Wikipedia To Attack McCain
-By Warner Todd Huston
Wikipedia imagines itself as the voice of the people, a voice that ultimately will find truth restored to public information and education. One wonders how the creators of Wikipedia would take the misuse of their signature idea when partisan political parties make a fake “Wiki” solely to attack their political opponent? This [...]
Unions Gear up to Attack McCain
-By Warner Todd Huston
Of course, no one could expect less of organized labor but to attack Republicans, even John McCain. But the amount of money proposed to be spent to destroy McCain really makes one wonder if every last union member would approve of such vast expenditures of their dues money?
To answer that question, the [...]
SacBee: Anti-War Bias Hidden in Tale of Iraqi Girl Getting New Legs from US Army
-By Warner Todd Huston
Here is a sad example of the subtle anti-war bias that the MSM constantly hides in stories even when they are heartwarming tales of the great things our soldiers do for the people of Iraq. In this case, it is the Sacramento Bee putting in some almost subliminal anti-war sentiments in the [...]
Anti-Conservative Hollyweird Update — BDS and Globaloney Galore
-By Warner Todd Huston
They make anti-American films that bomb at the box office and lose money. Then they make more films that make fun of the conservative base of the country, they lose more money. They make films that attack, belittle and infantalize our men and women at arms — all as we are in [...]
