In which the Washington Bureau Chief aspires to be blacklisted

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 10:59 am, September 14, 2011

Despite all those prime time speeches and carefully constructed platforms, Barack Obama still has what he euphemistically calls a ‘messaging problem’.  In his peculiar version of events, this usually amounts to the assertion that voters are too stupid to grasp his enlightened ideas.  It’s an easier narrative than considering that sliding voter approval might be [...]

In which the Washington Bureau Chief tells you to mind your own business

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 5:58 pm, September 1, 2011

The ‘right to know’ is a founding member in the hall of spurious entitlements masquerading as basic human rights.  First, rights are negative.  If other people must give up something in order to accord you your “right”, then it isn’t a right; it’s an entitlement.  Second, and more to the point I am going to [...]

In which the Washington Bureau Chief thinks everyone is at fault

A woman who used a stolen laptop is suing the company that tracked said device on behalf of its rightful owner for violating her privacy. On the face of it, we ought to find that sniveling child and beat her soundly.  And it is to prevent just such poorly thought out over-reactions that we now turn to [...]

In which the Washington Bureau Chief mocks the afflicted

Affirmative action for ugly people.  Yes. Of course, the op-ed calling for this hideous policy came out in today’s New York Times.  The facts are these; a man, a friggin’ economics Ph.D, thinks the ugliest people in the population – the 1-2% of the population who look like they’re half badger – ought to have a right [...]

Last year’s election felt great. Reasonably sane politicians racked up some wins, Nancy Pelosi had to move into smaller offices, and state-level Republicans took majority status hither and yon, where they immediately set to work showing they were even bigger phonies than the attack ads made them out to be. You will also, please, note [...]

Political Breath Presents, Great Moments in Bad Manners: March 17, 1905

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 11:59 pm, April 12, 2011

The first duty of electoral politics is to be fun, and nothing says fun like mind-boggling election fraud. However, the genteel political hack should always take care to at least pretend nothing untoward is going on, much the way a well-bred French housewife will coyly insist Rene is just her tennis coach. Perhaps it was [...]

Kjersten Forseth on ProgressNow’s Latest Boogeyman

by T.L. James | 10:59 pm, March 31, 2011

Today’s fundraising appeal from our friends at ProgessNow is so ill-considered that it’s actually comical. If you give generously, maybe they’ll have enough left over to hire someone who can write better emails.
