Mike Shanin wrote some interesting thoughts regarding the AIG Bailouts and Congress’ reaction on his blog:
The reactions from some that bonuses are being paid at AIG, the American International Group, is more egregious than the fact of the bonuses themselves.
Sure people are irritated that a company “bailed out” by the U.S. government is rewarding what [...]

If you’ve ever visited this blog or listened to the show, you know my thoughts regarding the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs: He’s a moron. He’s inexperienced and seems quite ignorant at doing his job with any form of success. Maybe he’s a nice, intelligent guy outside of the pressers, but unfortunately for him, [...]

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
In the original Articles of Confederation, a similar provision was present: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not [...]

Perhaps he wrote this with a bit of disgust at the whole situation, but Yael Abouhalkah pretty much nailed it. Rush Limbaugh has had one of the best weeks of his radio career. Here’s what Abouhalkah wrote on Midwest Voices:
Enjoying his best week of publicity ever, Rush Limbaugh has managed to place himself front-and-center again [...]

Thanks to Conservative Punk for writing about this…Since they nailed it, I’ll let you read what they wrote:
I could have just dumped this piece in the Headlines section but I decided it needed a little more of a punch than that. Anyone who’s watched Countdown with Keith Olbermann knows that he’s pretty proud of his [...]

This is nuts. From Hot Air:
Christopher Hitchens rips the UN in his inimitable fashion today for surrendering the right to free speech — and criticism — through the veil of multiculturalism.  For centuries, the West has defined freedom and liberty in individual terms, so as to keep the abuses of the state and other orthodoxies [...]

Remember how everyone attacked Rush Limbaugh for saying he wants Obama to fail? Critics said that was unbelievable that an individual could actually wish for the failure of the President of the United States.
My brother asked me to Google “Bush Failure.” In .15 seconds, Google kicks back over 51,000 resultes. Typing in “Bush Fail” returns [...]

Seton Motley has written an interesting essay covering our beloved Fairness Doctrine. In it, he covers the idea that just because the Senate has passed the Broadcaster Freedom Act, the radio industry isn’t completely safe from the tyranny of Congress. I’m not sure I see everything the exact same way as Motley, but nonetheless, it’s [...]

With Kathleen Sebelius’ recent acceptance of her nomination to be President Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, the current Kansas Governor is in the spotlight. For the Drive By’s, this is great. For individuals like you and me, maybe not so much. Michelle Malkin has posted a recent entry on her website entitled, “Meet [...]

This ran in Friday’s edition of The Wall Street Journal. Enjoy.
Dear President Obama:
I have a straightforward question, which I hope you will answer in a straightforward way: Is it your intention to censor talk radio through a variety of contrivances, such as “local content,” “diversity of ownership,” and “public interest” rules — all of which [...]
