AUDIO: NPR says April “big” month for right wing terrorism
By: Ben Howe (Diary) | April 18th at 03:02 PM |
Revealing Politics has posted audio of NPR correspondent Dina Temple-Raston who claims that investigators are leaning towards a domestic terrorism because of the “timing.” Specifically that April is big for right-wing terrorism because of things like Columbine & Hitler’s birthday. I can’t remember the last time I was invited to a Hitler get-together but apparently she can. Follow @BenHowe
Tech at Night: Obama’s Cybersecurity is the new Global Warming
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 3rd at 04:35 AM |

Surprise:Obama’s cybersecurity plans don’t actually fix anything, they just expand government. And yet the administration shamelessly attempts to use the crisis of storm Sandy to try to achieve this end.
At this point the administration’s cybersecurity efforts are as delusional and straw-grasping as its global warming efforts. Though what’s sad is that unlike global warming, there actually is a kernel of truth there that we as a nation could be acting on, but Obama is distracting us with his attempts to expand government.

NPR’s Ron Schiller admits NPR funding not needed.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | March 8th at 11:00 AM |
This is, after all, what writer Neal Stephenson calls “The Age of Scrutiny:” there is no such thing as a private conversation or opinion any more. Like that fact or hate it, but you must accept it: too many cameras, too many people who can afford them, and data storage just gets cheaper and cheaper. It is also an age that has elevated hypocrisy to | Read More »
Voting with my pocketbook: Arthur edition.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | February 17th at 08:30 AM |
Via Glenn Reynolds, ladies and gentlemen: your tax dollars at… actually, “waste” doesn’t have the right connotation of “bizarrely surreal.” Essentially, Democratic legislators have mainstreamed the antiwar Left’s Giant Puppet People by bringing the cartoon aardvark Arthur to a budget discussion. Now, here’s the thing: I try to regulate what my kids watch. I’m assisted in this by the fact that my wife is, frankly, | Read More »
Tech at Night: The return of the Internet Tax
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | February 8th at 03:00 AM |
Remember when the Communication Workers of America backed Net Neutrality in the mildest way possible, despite the fact that it risked killing CWA jobs? Well here’s their payoff: CWA is all-in for the Internet Tax. Of course, the left isn’t calling it the Internet Tax. Instead it’s “Universal Service Fund reform,” by which they mean finding a way to get more money into the so-called | Read More »

Historic Milestones in Tolerance
By: TobyToons (Diary) | October 25th at 08:00 AM |
In case you hadn’t heard already, Juan Williams (an opinion giver on npr – National Public Radio) was fired, supposedly, for making honest comments about what he feels when he sees Muslims on an airplane.
Many people think it had more to do with the fact that he said it while on the hated Fox News. npr basically claims that it had more to do with the fact that their employees are not allowed to have their own opinions, or at least share them on the air.

A Few Necessary Truths
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 22nd at 05:00 AM |
“The most significant truth is that had Juan Williams made his comments about Christians he would still have his job. The world is at war with Christ.” The media is largely run and operated by people who are left of center. Consequently, in the newsrooms of America, instead of dealing with issues of right and wrong, the news revolves around victims and victimizers. It’s why | Read More »
NPR Might Be In Trouble
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 21st at 06:38 PM |
I hear that Congressman Joe Barton might just make NPR’s firing of Juan Williams an issue next year. Specifically, I’m told, “It is very likely that this will be a priority for Mr. Barton in the next Congress, should voters trust Republicans with their vote in November.” A hearing would probably focus on whether taxpayer money is being used to suppress free speech at NPR. | Read More »
NPR Fires Juan Williams For Telling the Truth
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 21st at 05:00 AM |
National Public Radio has fired Juan Williams, its long time correspondent, over remarks Williams made on the O’Reilly Factor. Specifically, in a conversation about Islamic terrorism, Williams said on the O’Reilly Factor that he sometimes had fear on airplanes seeing muslim passengers in Islamic garb. NPR said Juan Williams’ comments “undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR” and “his remarks on the O’Reilly | Read More »
Tech at Night, er, Morning: Banning books, Net Neutrality, Free Press, NPR
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 7th at 07:59 AM |
Yes, I’m sorry. When I found out yesterday morning that it was Labor Day, I did shift gears and relax a bit. By the evening I was treating it like a weekend and forgot all about Monday’s Tech at Night. So we’re making it a Tuesday morning Tech in the Morning instead. Let’s get started with what happens when you let government regulate: they begin | Read More »

This Week in Washington – August 2, 2010
By: Brian Darling (Diary) | August 2nd at 11:00 AM |
Many liberals are fleeing President Obama. Gallup has the President at 45% approval and 47% disapproval for a -2% gap today. In a story titled “Democrats Scatter Monday as Obama Comes to Town,” on the NBC affiliate for Atlanta, GA, further evidence is provided of this emerging phenomena: If you think this will be a time for Democrats running for office to rally around the chief executive- -you probably | Read More »

RCP: November continues to loom for Democrats.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | June 22nd at 08:53 AM |
Sean Trende of Real Clear Politics – an underrated blogger, possibly because RCP is such a good site generally that its bloggers get overshadowed – still holds his opinion from April that the House is going to flip big in November: The bottom line is that Democrats are on pace for an ugly November. They’re increasingly running out of time to change the dynamic, and | Read More »
The Press and Left Are Lying About Rand Paul
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 20th at 11:38 AM |
Have you read what Rand Paul actually said about the Civil Rights Act? Because the media and left are out saying Rand Paul would have opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He never said he would have voted against the Civil Rights Act. In fact, he said he supported key provisions in the Civil Rights Act. Here is the relevant portion of the transcript: SIEGEL: | Read More »
