- Kelly Rindfleisch, for felony misconduct in a plea deal

Michelle Obama Was ‘Absolutely Not’
Surprised By Reaction To Oscars

First Lady Michelle Obama‘s prompted a lot of chatter when she made a surprise appearance at the Oscars to announce the “best picture” winner alongside actor Jack Nicholson. Some were especially critical — but Obama said the reaction was “absolutely not surprising.” Rather, she said, according to the Associated Press, it’s a sign of the times. “Shoot, my bangs set off a national conversation. My shoes can set off a national conversation. That’s just sort of where we are. We’ve got a lot of talking going on,” the first lady said only somewhat jokingly Thursday before an

Even as the frail former pontiff exits the world stage, the “big three” broadcast networks have gone overboard with tacky coverage and liberal agenda, at Pope Benedict XVI’s expense. And someone has counted the incidents, one by one. Since the Pope’s resignation announcement on Feb. 11, ABC, NBC and CBS have characterized the Catholic Church as “troubled” 122 times and used the word “scandal” 87 times says a new study from the Media Research Center Coverage has also pushed for the church to be more liberal, calling for the church to ‘modernize’ 32 times, change its stance on

Sour note: Houston elementary

The superintendent of one Houston, Texas, school system was forced to issue an apology for an elementary-aged production with overtly political tones that praised President Obama while criticizing former President George W. Bush. The assembly, at Katherine Smith Elementary School, was in celebration of Black History Month, The Blaze reported. These were the lyrics from the opening song, called “Feels Like Change,” reported by The Blaze: “Oh, I tried to believe in George Bush, I tried to trust. But it’s ashes to ashes now, and it’s dust to dust.

Boehner’s ‘Salty’ Language Reminds
Reid of His Childhood Brothels

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was so offended by House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) use of the word “ass” yesterday that it reminded him of the brothels of his childhood. Boehner noted at a press conference yesterday that President Obama “is going all over the country holding rallies instead of sitting down with Senate leaders” even though the House has passed legislation to stop sequestration twice. “We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their ass and begins to do something,” the Speaker said. After a closed policy luncheon today,

Harvard Crimson to scheming
conservatives: Don’t apply to Harvard

The Harvard Crimson published an editorial urging conservatives not to apply to Harvard if they intend to criticize the university down the line for political points. The editorial, titled “Warning: Do Not Enroll,” denigrates famous conservatives who graduated from Harvard and later sharply — and perhaps hypocritically — complained about the university’s liberal ideology, including former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, and Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly. “If we could have spoken to these three men, we would have told them never to come to Cambridge,” wrote the staff of the Crimson.

What Secretary of State Kerry

In practically his first outing as secretary of state abroad, John Kerry made some remarkable statements in a meeting with young Germans. The main thing being widely quoted is this: “In America, you have a right to be stupid if you want to be,” he said. “And we tolerate it. We somehow make it through that. Now, I think that’s a virtue. I think that’s something worth fighting for.” Of course there’s a right to be stupid in America! Indeed, just this week it’s been expanded into being the right to be simultaneously stupid and secretary of defense!

When the Obama Administration
Goes After a Journalist
for Reporting the Truth

Bob Woodward isn´t the first journalist to be thrown under the proverbial bus by the Obama Administration. Back in April 2011, veteran San Francisco Chronicle journalist Carla Marinucci, was banned from the presidential press pool in San Francisco, a beat she´d been covering without incident for some time. Her sin? Recording a group of leftwing hecklers who spontaneously sang a bizarre song (related to the Bradly Manning Wikileaks incident) in protest against Obama at a fundraisier in San Francisco -- a somewhat embarrassing moment for the president who was visibly caught off guard

Four Tiers of Failure:
How the LGBT Lobby Dominates

I never knew the extent of a lobby´s power until fate called me to speak on behalf of children´s rights. Now, six months after having come forward with a logical, secular argument against same-sex parenting based on experience, broad research, and international law, I have been met with vicious attacks and something far worse than viciousness: a massive nationwide cold shoulder. Both left and right are allied in a complete blackout of dissent from LGBT orthodoxy.

Where´s the fairness from the Fair Share president in only a couple of journalists being threatened over their Obama criticism? How would you like to be among the growing number of aspiring critics of the Windy City Wonder? You point out his lies. His hypocrisies. His cronyism. His duplicities. His waste. His wanton spending. His phony claims. His arrogance. And what do you get? Nothing. Nada. Not even a "Go to Hell!" e-mail to wave at cameras to enhance professional standing.

Duke Energy won´t be

Duke Energy won’t be repaid the $10 million line of credit it guaranteed for Charlotte to host last year’s Democratic National Convention, the company confirmed Thursday. As the credit line came due, Duke made official what it had signaled to shareholders in an earnings report last November. Because Duke can claim the money as a business expense for tax purposes, shareholders will foot $6 million of the cost. The DNC host committee struggled to raise money under fundraising rules set by the White House that banned corporate cash contributions.

Oscar Night in Hollywood

Five or six years ago a distinguished writer-director (if I may be permitted the epithet in connection with a Hollywood personage) was co-author of a screen play nominated for an Academy Award. He was too nervous to attend the proceedings on the big night, so he was listening to a broadcast at home, pacing the floor tensely, chewing his fingers, taking long breaths, scowling and debating with himself in hoarse whispers whether to stick it out until the Oscars were announced, or turn the damned radio off and read about it in the papers the next morning.

Sequester Is First Step To
Solving Spending Problem

Last Tuesday, President Obama proclaimed that the sequester´s "brutal" and "severe" cuts will "eviscerate" America´s domestic spending. (Snip)First, I want to point out that these "brutal" and "severe" cuts were President Obama´s answer to the 2011 debt-ceiling debate that was later passed by Congress; however, I voted against the sequester in 2011 because I knew that this was not the solution to our spending problem. I believe that the sequester is a pittance that does not cut enough. If the sequester were to take effect, our spending would only be cut by 2.3%.

ObamaCare Kicks Wives

Dumped: An unintended consequence of the abomination that is called ObamaCare is the dropping of wives from husbands´ employer-provided health care insurance. It´s a de facto war on women.(Snip)Quite often, the rational response to rising health insurance costs is to drop spouses, more specifically wives, from insurance plans. Sometimes it´s the husbands who must go. But benefits experts have confirmed to MarketWatch that those who are kicked out of plans "tend to be women." Employers also have a strong incentive to drop spouses because of a "per life" fee that ObamaCare requires from companies that insure their workers.

Axelord Disses Sperling To

David Axelrod has written Gene Sperling off as a political lightweight lacking the tonnage to have intimidated Bob Woodward in their dust-up over the sequester. Appearing on today´s Morning Joe, Axelrod sarcastically asked "what is Gene Sperling going to do to Bob Woodward? Bob Woodward, who faced down H.R. Haldemann as a young man, feels intimidated by Gene Sperling?" You really have to hear the sneer in Axelrod´s voice as he pronounces the name "Gene Sperling" to appreciate just how far under the bus Axelrod was willing to throw a fellow member of Team Obama.

MOBILE, Alabama- Blue Angels pilot Dave Tickle said he is focused on practicing maneuvers for an upcoming show in California instead of worrying about how federal spending cuts will threaten performances this year by the U.S. Navy´s renowned flight demonstration squadron. With $85 billion in automatic cuts due to take effect on Friday, millions of fans across the country will likely miss out on the precision flying team´s thrilling shows this year. Blue Angels shows scheduled in more than two dozen cities between April and September are expected to be canceled as part of the cuts,

Upon first gazing upon her, Jodi Arias appears to be a lovely young woman. She has that endearing charm and welcoming smile one sees in the carefree countenance of twenty-somethings whose world lies before them like an oyster. Speaking glibly and with unaffected confidence to interviewers, she draws in her audience as a skilled angler lands a catch -- without seeming strained or calculating in her mannerisms. That being said, one therefore would be hard pressed to believe that she is on trial in Maricopa County, Ariz. for murdering her ex-lover as brutally as any Taliban warrior ever could.

Is the United States about to become a laughing-stock to the rest of the world? It seems to have accrued a Defence Secretary who is the toast of Iran, and a Secretary of State who is a blithering idiot. It was hard to imagine that the new guy at State, John Kerry, could make himself look even more stupid than he has done by his science-denying belief that the planet is about to fry through man-made climate change. Well, he has indeed now exceeded such expectations. First, he invented a new country. In trying to praise diplomats who were working

That sound you hear is Voltaire rolling over in his grave. (Snip) Once upon a time, it was commonly understood that this sentiment is the very foundation of a free society. Compromise free speech, water it down, and you destroy freedom itself. In Toronto there lives a man named Bill Whatcott. During the last two decades or so, he has spent much of his time traveling around Canada, waving protest signs at gay-pride parades and Planned Parenthood clinics, agitating for the criminalization of homosexual acts and abortion, and distributing fliers packed with incendiary language about gays and graphic

What is the sequester?

What is the sequester? The sequester is a $1.2 trillion collection of spending cuts that will begin on Friday and stretch over the next ten years. The cuts are divided evenly between the military budget and domestic spending programmes. It will slash $85 billion in the first year and its terms demand that cuts be spread throughout departments rather than focused on specific areas, giving government officials little leeway ease the pain. The cuts were designed back in 2011 as a doomsday device that was so unpalatable to Democrats and to Republicans that it would force them to

Sean Hannity unleashed on Rep. Keith Ellison on Thursday night after a heated interview earlier in the week, charging that Ellison spent years spewing hateful rhetoric that the Fox News host suggested was as extreme as the Ku Klux Klan. On his program, Hannity linked Ellison to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and the late-Black Militant leader Khalid Muhammed. “The reality is, the Congressman not only associated with these radicals – but he spent years spewing their hateful rhetoric,” Hannity said, referring to when Ellison was a law student at the University of Minnesota

Well done Diane James! Well done Ukip! Just think what you could have done if that pesky third party hadn´t split the vote! Here, for what it´s worth, is my analysis of why Ukip did so well yesterday. I think up until quite recently, a lot of conflicted Tory/Ukip voters felt as I did: that if we only gave Cameron a bit more time to see which way the wind was blowing, he´d allow the authentically Tory voices in the Coalition--Paterson, Hayes, Carswell, and so on--to prevail in a Conservative coup by stealth. Seriously, though, while I´m delighted for Ukip

Mitt Romney is coming back into public view. This weekend the former Republican presidential candidate will appear on "Fox News Sunday," his first interview since losing to Barack Obama nearly four months ago. And on March 15, Romney will speak to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, the same event at which he declared himself a "severely conservative Republican governor" during a 2012 speech. Romney´s re-emergence is likely to be met by a mixed response from Republicans. Yes, many respect him as a decent man who has done a lot of good things in his life.

Only in Washington does a tempest turn on the meaning of the word “regret.” Only in Washington does the back-and-forth between a legendary journalist and a White House wonk turn into an epic talking-head fest and trending Twitter topic. And only in Washington does a sideshow to a looming economic calamity become the show itself. It all came together like a NASCAR pileup on Thursday as the politerati and the digerati and actual regular people hashed out the who-shot-whom dynamics of Bob Woodward’s jeremiad against the White House.

She suggested there are better ways for her to help than becoming publicly involved in Congress´ debate over gun laws that the president seeks.
