The Palin E-Mails: A Teachable Moment
By Carole on Jun 12, 2011
The crowdsourcing armies and the mainstream media gave it their best shot but the unprecedented dig into 24,000 of Governor Sarah Palin's e-mails turned up nothing but proof that she was a competent, engaged leader who did her job well and stuck to her principles. Today cyberspace is thick with the disappointment of all those would-be Woodwards and Bernsteins who had hoped to uncover some embarrassing missive, some hypocritical decision or some gotcha type of proof that the media and her political enemies were right about her all along. They weren't.
Crist Does It Again
By Carole on Aug 30, 2010
For the third time in one week, Florida Governor and US Senate candidate Charlie Crist has taken two positions on the same issue.

Crist Flip Flops Yet Again
By Carole on Aug 29, 2010
Florida Governor and US Senate candidate Charlie Crist is getting so good at changing positions on an issue, he can now do it within the same televised interview. Appearing on CNN's State of the Union program today, the no-party-affiliated candidate was asked if he would return campaign contributions given by Republican donors before he abandoned the GOP. Mr. Crist's first response: "we'll give it back to people who had asked for it." But just a moment later he said, "People gave money to a good cause, I'm going to spend it on a good cause and that's how I feel about it." (source)
Now The Oil Spill Is All About Obama
By Carole on Jun 10, 2010
In the past week or so, there has been much discussion about President Barack Obama's level of anger and his attempts to appear suitably enraged over the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the ongoing catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But like most things Obama, this manufactured issue is merely a diversion meant to distract the American people from the real issue...and it's working.
It's The Media Bias, Stupid
By Carole on Apr 10, 2010
Ever hear the phrase "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic?" That perfect depiction of a futile effort came to mind when I read that CNN is going to add a live studio audience to Anderson Cooper's primetime news program. Two shows with the new audience and "talk format" will be taped in mid-April and are being called "specials" to keep expectations down. But the special format will likely become the permanent format if there is an improvement in ratings. (source)
