GG can't help himself. He will do/say/write any lie to cast PBO in a negative light, even if he knows instinctively that it's BS. IMO, his...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

NDAA Markup Sample
Know what you won’t hear about in this video? Indefinite detention. That’s because the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 contains two controversial sections…out of thousands of sections that have nothing to do with prisoners, American or foreign. As I … Continue reading
NDAA Facepalm Induction
Banter Media’s own Nicole Sandler won’t give up her belief in death panels-for-freedom: One who argued with me about this provision in the bill kept referring to a 1 1/2 page summary of the 900+ page bill – and badgered … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Death Panels for Freedom
The White House objected to several provisions contained in the National Defense Authorization Act, threatening to veto the bill if they weren’t changed. The blogosphere nevertheless erupted over NDAA, with the usual suspects insisting the president would never veto it … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Naomi Cries Wolf

Morning Awful: Malkin Malevolence
Did you know that making fun of John McCain by photoshopping bloody fangs into his mouth is exactly the same as calling for “Second Amendment remedies”? Or that Ron Paulite-9/11 “truthers” assaulting a Laura Bush fan in a wheelchair are … Continue reading
POLITICO Gets Desperate
Drudge-link trolling with nontroversy! Yes, the Obama team offered Sestak a job to lure him away from his interest in running against Specter. Guess what? He wasn’t an official candidate yet and he’s eminently qualified for a plum Navy/DoD job. … Continue reading
Nontroversy Born
So the president showed up in Quincy, IL today to talk about Wall Street reform and a group of teabaggers showed up to stand with Wall Street. Apparently, they found it amusing that a SWAT team stood across the street. … Continue reading

ABC: Always Broadcast Controversy
Sure, no Very Serious Beltway reporter would think to get Arab reaction to a story about public communications aimed at the Arab world. After all, it’s such a chore to chat up the nearest felafel vendor. But would it be … Continue reading
