Behind every successful woman is….
The very clever Lionel Libson (father of our own Joseph Libson, who sometimes comments here) came up with this great Photoshopped image (click on image for a larger version):

Women speaking back
I don’t know how much difference this will make, but it’s a petition to show that the media is wrong — women will and do support Sarah Palin. Hat tip: Bloggers for John McCain
Continue readingDebugging the rumor mill
Explorations has a comprehensive list of the rumors circulating around Sarah Palin, and explains which are true and which are false. It’s amazing how much dirt managed to flow down the media pipeline is a single week.
Continue readingTrying to fool all of the people all of the time
I periodically check out Yahoo’s most popular news to see what AP articles are getting the most play according to the Yahoo picks (which, except for including Ann Coulter, skew liberal). It’s fascinating to see the AP headlines, each of which is snarky, dismissive or critical of Palin in some

Not much, it turns out.
Continue readingMedia double standards
From the National Review editors: This shameful but predictable media performance [obsessing about Bristol’s sex life and manufacturing debased rumors] stands in marked contrast to the rigorous “hands-off” privacy policy dutifully honored by the press throughout the Clinton years for the president’s then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. Indeed earlier this year, though
Continue readingThe media scourge
I told an elderly liberal friend (“ELF”) about my liberal friend, the one who thinks the media is being so unfair to Palin that she’s tempted to vote for McCain just to spite the media. The following conversation ensued. I should add here that the ELF considers herself very well
Continue readingIrritating the average woman
A liberal friend of mine told me she’s so incensed by the attacks on Palin’s pregnant daughter that she feels like voting for McCain just to spite the media.
Continue readingCause — meet effect
Once again, a writer for the MSM leads with a sentence that implies that there is no causative relationship between two obviously related facts. This from the San Francisco Chronicle: California home sales surged last month even while prices plunged a record amount, as buyers snapped up bargains among the
Continue readingThe AP shows surprising honesty when it comes to Joe Biden
Something very peculiar is happening at the AP, so much so that I think someone might be sneaking something into the AP water supply. Why do I say this? Because of the almost bizarrely objective series of articles the AP published on the occasion of Obama’s announcement that Joe Biden
Continue readingMcCainiacs thinking outside of the box
In 1980 (and again in 1984), Ronald Reagan won in significant part because traditionally Democratic voters abandoned their party to vote for him. Those same “Reagan Democrats” have shown up frequently in the news today. Indeed, McCain is specifically targeting those same people and demographics. US News & World Report
Continue readingYou can just hear the crickets chirp
Pamela Geller, who blogs at Atlas Shrugs, has spent countless hours following both McCain’s and Obama’s money. In a carefully detailed article at American Thinker, she explains that McCain’s donations are squeaky clean, while the donations coming into the Obama campaign are, to put it tactfully, questionable. For example, Obama’s
Continue readingThose renegade Republicans
Joe Lieberman has been persona non grata for pal-ing around with the Republicans, but the media was incredibly excited to discover that a few “leading” Republicans have moved over to the Obama side — as if nobody has ever heard of RINOs in the first place. Aside from the fact
Continue readingWhen is political satire not political satire?
The answer to the above question: When it’s impossible to distinguish the satire from the real thing. I received several emails today alerting me to a post at Power Line that purported to reprint a directive from a powerful person at a major media outlet, describing how to cover the

You’ve all heard the question that is the title of my post, haven’t you? Is an audience necessary for a sound to have meaning or even existence? And what if, in our world, the intermediary to the audience bugs out? That’s today’s question, as Republicans vigorously debate the new drilling
