When the tall, skinny guy from Illinois was elected president a year ago, many Americans were hoping for another Honest Abe. Ironically, they seem to have gotten George McClellan -- the timorous general Lincoln had to fire for refusing to fight the Civil War.
My Proposal for a Smarter Front Page on Newsvine
Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:02 PM EDT
My belief that the front page is cluttered with nonsense and crap is no secret. It's also no secret that I'm no stranger to publishing my fair share of nonsense and crap over the years.

President Obama ties George W. Bush on Golf
Seeded on Mon Oct 26, 2009 9:38 AM EDT (Politico)
President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he's already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years.
Schools and Kids: What's Going On Here?
Fri Oct 23, 2009 12:43 AM EDT
Everybody remembers going to school as a kid. There were days they hated school and days school was OK, and even days school was great. But these days, things seem different than what I have been told by my parents. I am currently a high school senior.

The Left's 'Race' To A One Term Presidency
Wed Sep 30, 2009 9:13 AM EDT
Last November I wrote about an experience at a bowling alley just days after the election. I had made a small joke about Barack Obama's dismal bowling score, an embarrassment he endured during the 'get in touch with blue collar folks' part of the Democratic primary campaign.

Rats Deserting a Sinking ACORN
Seeded on Sat Sep 26, 2009 12:23 PM EDT (New York Post)
Like rats deserting a sinking ship, ACORN's many enablers over the years are racing for the exits as the scope of the organization's shenanigans come to light. Even leftist fellow-traveler -- and, until now, stalwart ACORN defender -- Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is squirming.
Time for Plan B, Bam
Seeded on Sat Sep 26, 2009 12:02 PM EDT (New York Post)
And this week, after the UN Security Council adopted an anti-nuclear-proliferation "resolution" that left out any mention of Iran, it took French President Nicolas Sarkozy to express shock: "How," he asked "could we justify meeting without tackling" Iran's nukes?
Run, Dave, Run!
Seeded on Tue Sep 22, 2009 7:39 AM EDT (New York Post)
Gee, maybe Gov. Paterson has a spine, after all: The popular president of the United States, head of the Demo cratic Party and leader of the Free World told Paterson to bow out of the 2010 race for governor. Dave's response? Take a hike, Mr. Prez.
Rep. Rangel: Popular lawmaker with ethics issues
Sun Sep 20, 2009 10:13 AM EDT
Rep. Charlie Rangel, the latest congressional titan with ethics problems, is described by a longtime House colleague as the guy who would make sure everyone put on oxygen masks during a flight emergency, but would have to be told to put on his own.

ACORN's enablers
Seeded on Sat Sep 19, 2009 11:45 AM EDT (New York Post)
Like Gillibrand, most of those who prefer to keep ACORN's money flowing regularly enjoy the support of its close affiliate -- the union-backed Working Families Party.
Putin pushed, Obama buckled
Seeded on Fri Sep 18, 2009 7:53 AM EDT (New York Post)
Ironically, Obama's announcement came on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland at the start of World War II -- an event that underscores Warsaw's longstanding fear of aggression from the east.
Red Herrings - Jimmy Carter and Joe Wilson
Seeded on Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:38 AM EDT (New York Post)
The former president's canard (a low, even by his standards) came, by the way, just days after Osama bin Laden publicly hailed Carter's latest Israel-bashing book as required reading for all Americans. Need more be said?

Shut Off ACORN's Spigot
Seeded on Wed Sep 16, 2009 7:52 AM EDT (New York Post)
All told, ACORN reported fully $11 million in direct public support in 2007 -- and its various front groups likely get tons more.
Obama's Job-Growth Dodge
Seeded on Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:32 AM EDT (New York Post)
Obama & Co. have done virtually zilch to promote long-term private-sector job growth. Even as unemployment is pushing 10 percent and hundreds of thousands of jobs disappear each month.
Sorry, Charlie (Rangel)
Seeded on Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:26 AM EDT (New York Post)
Rep. Charlie Rangel is upset at The Post's reports of his various trans gressions. So here's a word of advice: Stop committing them, Congressman.
Outing ACORN
Seeded on Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:22 AM EDT (New York Post)
Fortunately, public officials (even on the left) are taking note. A Senate amendment to keep ACORN from getting federal housing grants passed 83-7 yesterday (shamefully, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand was among the seven). The Census Bureau cut its ties with ACORN.
Senate Votes to Cut Off Federal Funding for ACORN
Seeded on Mon Sep 14, 2009 9:55 PM EDT (Hot Air)
Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation appropriation bill to strip ACORN of all federal funding. A week ago, Johanns wouldn't have gotten the amendment to the floor.

Charles Rangel - Sign of the Times
Seeded on Sun Sep 13, 2009 9:28 PM EDT (The Washington Times)
Try also hypocrisy. Mr. Rangel is the head of the Ways and Means Committee that writes the nation's income tax policy. The politician, who for generations has urged higher taxes, has chronically schemed to avoid paying them.
Coast Guard: Another Needless Panic
Seeded on Sat Sep 12, 2009 9:05 AM EDT (New York Post)
It doesn't take a genius to know that a Coast Guard broadcast saying its ves sels were involved in a shoot-out with other boats on the Potomac -- on the anniversary of 9/11, no less, and near where the presidential motorcade had just passed -- can provoke a, uh, response.
Fact-checking Bam on Obamacare
Seeded on Fri Sep 11, 2009 8:01 AM EDT (New York Post)
Obama insisted Wednesday that his public-option plan would save tax dollars, while not adding "one dime" to the deficit. Moreover, he said, "nothing in our plan requires you to change what [health insurance] you have."
O's Owe Woe
Seeded on Wed Sep 9, 2009 7:36 AM EDT (New York Post)
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs yesterday promised that Obama will answer "many of the big questions" in tonight's speech. Fine. But the one question that must be addressed forthrightly and honestly is this one: How much will reform cost, and how does he mean to pay for it?
"Ethics" For Sale
Seeded on Sun Sep 6, 2009 8:42 AM EDT (New York Post)
Is Charlie Rangel worried that the House Ethics Committee — notorious for handing out little more than a slap on the wrist for even the most egregious congressional misconduct — might make an exception in his case?
