You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

Most in the media expressed surprise and some shock at the revelation from Tom Ridge that the Bush Administration was playing politics with the terrorist threat warnings issued by Homeland Security. Washington Post reported on Friday:

Dr. David Scheiner, President Obama’s internist of 22 years, has a mixed practice of adults from local housing projects on up to some very famous patients. He issued the 276-word statement last year vouching for Obama’s “excellent health.” While he still supports the President, David Whelan’s Forbes article Obama’s Doctor Knocks ObamaCare allows [...]

As we prepare for our second week of viewing “Hacking Democracy” and Live Chat, based on the work of Black Box Voting, it seems like a natural time to give more background on this organization, its founder, Bev Harris, and the issues of electronic voting machines. SusanUnPC was kind enough to provide me with [...]

Though critics will probably try to write the tea parties off as partisan publicity stunts, they’re really a post-partisan expression of outrage.
In this video, Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds, a professor and cogent blogger, gives the real history of Wednesday’s tea parties on C-Span. Of Note: Reynold’s op-ed, “Tax Day Becomes Protest Day: How the [...]

Or just Obama’s pick for the legal adviser to the State Department? Harold Koh, former dean of Yale Law School, seems to think that is A-Okay in the US of A. Oh, how I wish I was kidding. This article, “Koh, No” goes into more detail about Obama’s pick. And it [...]

If you’ve been a longtime reader of NQ, you know our respect-o-meter pegs in negative numbers for Keith Olbermann. We’ve done several stories about this guy and pretty much none of them use terms like “respected journalist,” “right on the mark,” or even “sane, sober and intelligent.”
But we’ve got nothing on Olbermannwatch.com. [...]

NOT!!! This is rich - so, rich. Check out this headline (h/t to Will:Bowers): DNC’s Kaine Picks Panel To Reform Democrats’ Entire Nominating Process. Yep, Tim Kaine, the anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-stem cell Chair of the DNC is going to reform the Democratic Nominating Process. And wait until you see just who the [...]

(Bumped up from Thursday evening. JOIN IN THE FUN! This is a riot! - Susan)
It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those [...]

Howard Dean reacts to being told he has no shot at being the new head of HHS
Barack Obama would not be where he is today without Howard Dean. The former Vermont Governor and DNC Chairman created the blueprints that David Axelrod would expand upon to garner the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination for [...]

As noted here at NQ, there’s an aspect of the Commerce / Judd Gregg story far more relevant to the people’s representation and power in the federal government, along with the all-important funding of Congressional districts, than which political appointee will sit in the secretary’s seat.
On February 6th, NQ featured two posts [...]

That’s right boys and girls. It looks like President Obama has a new “pay for play rule.” If you want to play in his administration you NEED TO PAY YOUR DAMN TAXES!
I presume you have heard the news–Tom Daschle dropped out as the prospective nominee for Health and Human Services.
Daschle is a congenial [...]

For those of you who don’t know this golf term, it’s a do-over. It’s allowed between friends when something ruins what should have been a decent shot. Like maybe a loud noise during your back-swing. So the distraction or other accidental occurrence causes you to blow the shot. You ask for a Mulligan, and your [...]

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and [...]

First, there’s whatever happened to the Charlie Rangel investigation, which Speaker Pelosi promised would be completed by January 3, 2009. What’s the tie-up? Well, isn’t this something: the House Ethics Committee is without a chairman.
But, then, who needs an Ethics Committee or Chair when one party controls the House? And [...]

Politico has a highly entertaining piece on “whatever happened to Howard Dean.” As anyone who has looked for the DNC party chair knows, he’s been hit by the Obama bus. Kind of unexpected, since his strategy helped win big for the Democrats, but biting the hand that feeds seems to be an Obama [...]

Really do explode like pumpkins? I’m just asking because of the whole Obama picking Tim Kaine to be the new chair of the DNC thing. See, not only is Kaine anti-choice, but he is also anti-gay. Obama sure does like these homophobes, doesn’t he? He constantly surrounds himself with them, Kaine [...]
