Rockefeller Kidnapping Case–What Else Bears Mention
Jed Hresko, Deputy Director of Fathers & Families, has an interesting new piece on Clark Rockefeller's apparent abduction of his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visitation. The two are pictured. Like Fathers & Families, I condemn Rockefeller's actions. However, his possible mistreatment in his divorce also bears mention. Hresko [...]
Actress Keira Knightly Takes Stand Against Digital Enhancement
From ABC's Keira Says No to Bigger Bust (7/28/08): Call it truth in advertising: Waifish actress Keira Knightly has balked at having the digital wizards enhance her breasts in publicity photos for her new film, "Duchess." The actress objects to her cleavage being altered in publicity photos. The sultry star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and [...]
Is Obama Simple Minded or a Lying Partisan?
After his visit to Iraq, Democrat Party presidential candidate Barack Obama all but admitted the success of what's come to be called "the surge." Obama claims he met with military leaders in Iraq and spoke with rank and file soldiers who've been fighting the Iraqi insurgents and members of Al-Qaeda who refuse to acknowledge [...]
McCain Veep List Down to Two?
My sources told me that their sources told them that Jim Geraghty’s sources at NRO’s “The Corner” told him that their sources in the McCain camp — who are close with sources close to those vetting possible McCain VP choices — that McCain’s list of possible VP’s is down to two people: Minnesota [...]
Boring Earthquake Glorified
The lamestream media told you: Too much. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Los Angeles experienced a 5.4 magnitude earthquake, no major damage was apparent, no one was seriously hurt, the power didn't go out, traffic continued to flow, and every major news outlet stayed with the story for hours after the event had ended. With nothing [...]
Are Handguns Machineguns?
The lamestream media told you: Dick Heller, the security guard who won back limited gun rights in an historic decision at the Supreme Court last month, was turned down by D.C. police when he tried to register his semiautomatic handgun. District authorities decided it was not a proper handgun under the new law. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes [...]
The Audacity of Hype Part II
Captain Ed tells us that while Barack Obama claims that he does not take money from lobbyists or PACs it's simply not true. Last month, Barack Obama announced that “my party” would not take donations from federally-registered lobbyists or their PACs. Somehow, that news failed to make it to his own [...]
Obama Didn’t Visit Our Wounded Troops, Period
The Washington Post tries to bail out Barack Obama by claiming that John McCain's statement that Obama didn't visit the wounded troops at Landstuhl Medical Center because he couldn't bring the media with him is false. For four days, Sen. John McCain and his allies have accused Sen. Barack Obama of snubbing wounded soldiers by [...]
New Jersey Judges Told: Issue the Restraining Order or Else
As I explained in my recent co-authored column Restraining Orders Can Be Straitjackets On Justice (Newark Star-Ledger, 7/28/08), there is a controversy over a recent New Jersey court ruling which raises the evidence standard needed to obtain a domestic violence restraining order. Evidence shows that the orders are often applied for to get an [...]
‘John Kerry Reporting for Booty!’
Looks like Senator John Kerry is picking up the party slack while Teddy’s on the D.L. According to TMZ, John Kerry left a Nantucket restaurant and a group of **drunken college kids (**today’s redundancy brought to you by Oxi Clean, the stain specialist!) on a boat asked the senator to take some pictures with them. At least that’s [...]
