Part 1 of 2: How the zany Saturday Night Live comic pulled it off, if he did, to become the junior senator from Minnesota. It boggles the mind.

Generation Y's brazen disregard for books and learning portends dismal implications for the nation's intellectual future. A review of Mark Bauerlein's The Dumbest Generation. [...] With help from state officialdom and local courts, Al Franken's theft of an election is being carried off unabashedly in full view. 'Tis a pity. [...] Don't look now, but a stolen election is very much in prospect. [...] An 18-year old freshman is beat up for her political views and called a racist. Why? She is wearing a McCain-Palin campaign button. [...] Have Minnesotans lost all common sense, their sense of decency? [...] The New York Times, a shrill partisan voice, assails John McCain in yet another misleading, loaded-for-bear "expose." All in a day's work for the partisan gray lady. Not exactly your October Surprise, but close. [...] What did Secretary of the Interior Bruce Edward Babbitt say to his longtime friend, Phoenix lawyer Paul Eckstein, on July 14, 1995? Why did it trigger an 18-month, $5 million Independent Counsel investigation? Why should we care? Because, as Albert Camus wrote in Caligula, “Lies are never innocent.” [...] Vets for Freedom (VFF) revisit former battle stations in Iraq . . . and find victory is at hand. Not good news for the defeatists and news media. [...] Once vilified Daniel Patrick Moynihan, before he became a famous senator, got it right a long, long time ago, about root causes of black-on-anybody crimes. Obama "gets it" but a Twin Cities liberal newspaper does not. Read on, and weep. [...] Now from the state that chose Jesse "The Body" Ventura as its governor: Senator Stuart Smalley. [...] The liberal left's antipathy for the American military was on full display at Forest Lake High School after it banned Vets for Freedom following complaints from anti-war activists. [...] Anti-war Democrats smell blood in the water, and their target on February 17 was war hero and former POW John McCain. [...] Savvy tribal leaders offer up $12.5 million to the University of Minnesota for a new football stadium and for scholarships. It’s cash largely extracted from the pockets of poor casino habitués, the result of politically-gotten monopoly profits. Who says pay-to-play politics doesn’t pay off? [...] PBS' History Detectives succumbed to revisionist history with Wes Cowan's recent comments on the 2004 election. But this story has an unusual twist. [...] It should go without saying that if a bridge has collapsed, a Republican is responsible. [...] Blinded by hatred of Bush, The Humorist from Lake Wobegon lashes out at the Commander-in-Chief and takes cheap shots at our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, on a day we Americans honor our fallen heroes. [...] Yeats' dim forecast of "a blood-dimmed tide being loosed" seems not to register with illogical congressional Democrats. [...] When the Bush-bashing is this good, you just have to adopt the words as your own. [...] Richard N. Billings's new book, Battleground Atlantic, narrates the sinking of a Japanese submarine, I-52, on 24 June 1944, and the surrender of a German sub, U-234, in May 1945, and explains how the Allies' "eavesdropping" in World War II turned the tide against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. [...] Keith Ellison will be the first Muslim in Congress, and the first former Nation of Islam firebrand to join its august ranks. [...] Poor denizens of casinos have endowed a few tribes with fabulous wealth. And Jack Abramoff knew the best way to protect their monopoly. [...] The Minneapolis Star Tribune gives even rabid partisanship a bad name. [...] Bowing to the fateful 'temptation to invent' makes journalists fair game for withering criticism. Things haven't changed a great deal from the heyday of news media critics James Agee and George Orwell. [...] Lake Wobegonites know intellectual fraud when they see it. [...] |
