Last weekend, “Saturday Night Live” did a skit about a CNN debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Problem was, the only African-American male cast member they had available couldn’t reasonably portray Obama because he has a very different body type and it just wouldn’t have worked. So, do you know what they did?...

With all the intellectual substance of “Tutti Frutti,” a silly Little Richard song from the 1950s, the Barack Obama campaign continues to rock and roll across America, racking up primary victories like gobs of gumdrops. Back in the ’50s, songs like “Tutti Frutti” with their juvenile lyrics were ridiculed by grown-ups. Now, not only...

Here we go again with another political scandal, compliments of the New York Times, our national paper of record. Call it an October surprise, only seven months early. But then they can never start too early in their efforts to smear the Republican candidate, even if it’s the one they endorsed. Following is a...

If you like it when evil terrorist masterminds get what’s coming to them, yesterday was a stellar day. Imad Mughniyeh, one of the world’s most elusive and wanted terrorists, took one for the glorious Islamist cause when he and his car were blown to kingdom come. The only thing that could have made it...

If they gave out an award for the most addleheaded statement ever made by a politician in the long and eventful history of civilization, it just might go to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg for the following: “Terrorists kill people. Weapons of mass destruction have the potential to kill an enormous amount of...

Actually, all I got was this lousy headache. Well, that, and the unwanted sense of the increasingly looming inevitability of a McCain nomination. Now hold on just a minute. I’ll have everyone know I’m not suffering from McCain Derangement Syndrome. Not like the desperate caller I heard just moments ago on C-Span who wondered...

While well-intentioned Americans continue to argue over the morality of using the interrogation technique of waterboarding even in rare circumstances against some of the worst beings to ever walk upright on the planet, al-Qaida in Iraq continues to find new ways of plumbing the depths of human depravity in its bid to prevent Iraqis...

This is what will happen if America makes a left-wing multiculturalist its president. Barack Obama told a French magazine that if he is elected, he will hold a summit with Muslim countries in order to try and improve the United States’ image around the world. Hmm, this sounds vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, now I...

Here’s a headline that’s like music to my ears: “John Edwards to Quit Presidential Race.” It’s the kind of news that makes me feel like getting up and dancing a jig. No more will we have to suffer his disingenuous pandering about “two Americas.” No more of his class warfare buncombe. No more of...

In a recent column I theorized that the somewhat puzzling appeal of Barack Obama as a presidential candidate had to do with his admirers’ happy-headed fantasies of a return to something resembling the “Camelot” years of the JFK administration. I argued that Obama was being seen as a kind of 21st century, multicultural reincarnation...

Ordinarily, concern about global warming is one of the last things you’ll hear coming out of the Arab world. And why is that? Well, probably because it has absolutely nothing to do with the singular, overriding obsession du jour of that unlovely realm of the planet: the Arab-Israeli conflict; or, more specifically, as they...

Does anyone see the irony in the Martin Luther King holiday being followed the very next day by the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision? Talk about a stark moral juxtaposition. King Day celebrates the life of a man who spurred a national movement to grant oppressed and disenfranchised...

It’s not everyday you see a plethora of headlines like the following: “Bin Laden son wants to be peace activist.” “Bin Laden’s son in horse ride for peace.” “Osama’s son wants British visa to live with granny bride.” What the heck is up with all that? Well, let’s just say it appears that the...

How cool is it to be a presidential candidate and have a network television reporter admit that it’s difficult to cover you objectively because, well, you’re just so gosh darn fabulous that it’s nigh on impossible for anyone to keep their head out of the clouds while following you around? For the candidate in...

So much for the conventional wisdom which said that the thing people liked so much about John McCain was his propensity to deliver “straight talk” even when it was stuff nobody wanted to hear. Straight talk is supposed to be a good thing because it’s another way of saying honest talk and honesty is...

It’s not often that it snows in Baghdad. In fact, no one can remember the last time it happened. But just because it has now snowed in Baghdad for the first time in anyone’s memory doesn’t mean that global warming isn’t raging on unabated, killjoy climate experts are rushing to tell us. Don’t let...

What can one say other than, never count out a Clinton. Apparently, and spectacularly, rumors of Hillary’s political demise were premature and greatly exaggerated. After the Iowa debacle, the only thing remaining was the formal canonization of Obama and a potential lengthy stay for Hillary in a sanatorium for washed up power junkies. Headlines...

When you see a headline like “Pope’s exorcist squads will wage war on Satan,” you have to wonder who, if anybody, is running the PR department down at the Vatican. Granted, this particular headline, which appeared in Britain’s Daily Mail, is a wee bit sensational, but that’s what the Brit broadsheets tend to do...
