I think there’s a bit of hyperbole here but what the heck … he said it. One more reason to skip The Washington Post.

Libyan rebels: They’re shooting their own people UPDATE: Video, fighting with a toy gun

By Jim Vicevich | March 31, 2011 |

Seriously, would you put US arms in the arms of people who can’t even aim? This is shaping up to be an “all in” war or a quick loss for the coalition. Wait till you see this video report filed by NBC’s Richard Engel. Duck!

Michael Walsh:Let the wild turkey jokes begin UPDATE: I didn’t want the wild turkey

By Jim Vicevich | March 31, 2011 |

Begin? What makes Mike think they will ever, ever end. In case you missed it, NY Post columnist and NRO The Corner contributor Michael Walsh was unable to join me in the studio today per usual. But to you NRO readers the story isn’t quite as simple as he would have you believe.

By Steve McGough | March 10, 2011 |

New Project Veritas video from James O’Keefe highlighting more head-banging stupidity from an NPR executive. Specifically, we’re talking about Betsy Liley who is the senior director of Institutional giving. We’ve got more than 44 minutes of audio to go through here.

Huffington Post volunteer contributors demand to get paid

By Steve McGough | March 9, 2011 |

As I understand the Huffington Post business model, some authors are paid but a huge majority of them get absolutely nothing more than exposure. Since Arianna Huffington sold the site for more than $300 million to AOL a few weeks ago, some of the unpaid contributors want a cut.
