Please excuse the loose use of the term "outsource" in my headline. But now that the Washington Post, BuzzFeed Politics, and Barack Obama have defined outsourcing as "Something Romney never did but is guilty of anyway," I wanted to get in the spirit of things. Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been running around for a few days now sliming up the airwaves with smears and innuendo that started with this article written by Vanity Fair's Nicholas Shaxson, a bigtime leftist and Occupy supporter. Essentially, the Wasserman Schultz talking point has been: "We don't know what Romney's hiding...

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz seemingly had her own “doing fine” moment on Fox News Sunday, where she said she was “pretty happy” with the state of the private sector. (Related: President Obama: ‘The Private Sector is Doing Fine’) Fox News’ John Roberts began: “So then, is the suggestion that we should just do keep doing the same thing? There’s that old definition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result…” Wasserman Schultz assertively responded: “What we should do… I’m pretty happy about 28 straight months of job growth in the private sector.” [Emphasis...

Mike Rogers, the chair of the House intelligence committee, will not rule out the use of military force in Iran after authorities foiled a D.C. terror plot that allegedly had roots in Tehran. “I don’t think you should take it off the table,” Rogers, a Republican, said on ABC’s This Week. Other options, Rogers said, would include gathering a coalition of other nations to condemn Iran or striking against Iranians operating in Iraq. Iran’s government has denied any link to the plot, which aimed to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, D.C.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz insisted to CNSNews.com yesterday that “anyone’ can see that the economy is improving and sought to interpret what Pres. Obama really meant when he admitted Monday that Americans were not better off today than four years ago. “Well, what President Obama said was that certainly since the collapse of Lehman Brothers, that Americans are not better off,” Wasserman Schultz told CNSNews.com. “That was specifically the president’s comment. I thought. And I think anyone who looks at the economy knows we have come a long way.

You never know what you'll find next to a Dumpster. That's where Chris Gulley of Rock Island spotted two authentic Cherner chairs, designed in 1958 by Norman Cherner and manufactured by the former Plycraft Inc. of Lawrence, Mass. Gulley didn't know that immediately, though, on that day about 11 years ago when he was driving down Harrison Street in Davenport. All he knew is that the two chairs he saw sitting next to a Dumpster in an alley were very unusual-looking and that he wanted them. "I knew instantly they were special, and I about killed us both turning the...

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz keeps the hits coming. There are two ways to approach chairmanship of the Republican and Democratic National Committees. The current RNC chair, Reince Priebus, avoids the spotlight and focuses on managerial tasks. His name has been added to the spelling-check libraries of ten thousand word processors, but the man himself remains enigmatic. The other approach is to enter the media arena as a full-contact political combatant, a kind of “super-candidate” who carries the banner of the entire party into rhetorical battle. Priebus’ predecessor, Michael Steele, played it that way. The results were… mixed. Steele’s high-profile stumbles during media...

Michael Steele says he goes to Harlem because "that’s where the votes are." Struggling RNC chairman Michael Steele was a late guest on Greta van Susteren’s On the Record last night. Steele has been in the news recently because not only did he announce his intention to run for reelection as RNC chairman, but also because many Republicans and conservatives don’t want him to return, primarily because of his sorry performance. Steele confirmed many doubts people have about him when he blurted out that he liked going to Harlem as RNC chair because "that’s where the votes are." The weird...

Click on the youtube link above to listen. The TSA chose Meg McLain for special screening. They wanted her to go through the new porno-scanners. When she opted out, TSA agents raised an enormous ruckus. When she asked some question about what they planned to do to her, they flipped out. TSA agents yelled at her, handcuffed her to a chair, ripped up her ticket, called in 12 local Miami cops and finally escorted her out of the airport. Listen to her story as she told it on radio show Free Talk Live last night. Things are truly getting scary

Michigan Democratic Party chairman Mark Brewer, has come under attack by conservative commentator Kyle Olson, over an allegedly bogus new “Tea Party” group with leftist ties.

While we all expect such behavior from hyper-partisan outfits, Brewer gives it a whole new meaning.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A quick-thinking clerk managed to outsmart a robber, locking him inside the store Friday afternoon. Lilly Lam was working at the Kwik Shop Market near Fruitridge Road at about 1:30 p.m. when a man walked inside. She said she recognized him from another robbery attempt five days earlier. Police said Travis Bryant, 23, walked up to the counter, demanding money and with his hand in his shirt as if reaching for a gun. That's when Lam grabbed a chair and swung. "I took a chair and hit him. I scared him, and he hit me back," Lam...

Local balloon pilot Jonathan Trappe landed safely this morning after an overnight flight of about 70 miles from the Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport. Trappe, who sat in a chair while about 40 giant helium-filled balloons took him aloft, flew mostly at altitudes between 3,000 feet and 4,000 feet, said Paul Wilder, spokesman for the Wings of Carolina Flying Club.
