Well, we have a couple of polls, I guess, research studies that may explain a lot. One of them I had not heard of, and the results in this one are gonna stun you. Maybe they won’t....SNIP...And it is essentially this. The average American believes that 9% of the U.S. population have already died from COVID-19. Nine percent of the U.S. population is 30 million people. So the average American thinks that 9% of the population’s already died, 30 million people are dead. Now, why would they think such a thing? Sadly, it is a testament to the Drive-By Media.

On Fox News Sunday yesterday, Chris Wallace interviewed Rush Limbaugh regarding what Obama has done for and to America. Rush proclaimed that President Obama is “destroying” the private sector in America, and that he “has to think it may be on purpose.” This extensive interview leaves few stones unturned regarding Limbaugh’s opinion of Obama’s objectives and their consequences for this country.

Longtime readers of this blog will be quite familiar with race-baiting Democrat Rep. Diane Watson of California. She attacked Ward Connerly for marrying a white woman. She bragged about Washington, D.C. being a “chocolate city.” She polluted the Hurricane Katrina aftermath with race card-playing nonsense. Thanks to KABC, there’s audio of Watson heaping praise on Castro, Guevara, and the Cuban health system at her town hall meeting last night — as well as injecting her usual racial poison into the health care debate. (For a reminder of what Cuban health care is really like, click here.) (see link) I wrote...

In his Morning Update Friday, Rush Limbaugh offered a few tips for job hunting liberals. He started off by pointing out that "rules of work" may be a foreign concept to libs. One advice tip was "Companies do not hire you so that you can make money and have health care. They hire you for the work you produce … so that they can earn profits." Another helpful instruction was "Companies do not hire you to offer free broadband service to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, or to line up dates. They expect actual productivity from you."

AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS, France -- A week of riots in poor neighborhoods outside Paris gained dangerous new momentum Thursday, with youths shooting at police and firefighters and attacking trains and symbols of the French state. Facing mounting criticism, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin vowed to restore order as the violence that erupted Oct. 27 spread to at least 20 towns, highlighting the frustration simmering in housing projects that are home to many North African immigrants. Police deployed for a feared eighth night of clashes, after bands of youths lobbing stones and petrol bombs ignored President Jacques Chirac's appeal for calm a day...

Blogstorm warning: Rush Limbaugh clearly thinks he's caught CBS in another Rather-style anti-GOP screwup--he charges that Gloria Borger quoted Kenneth Starr dissing the Republican's "nuclear option" when Starr was in fact talking about something else. Lucianne, Powerline, and Patterico seem to agree. I'm not so sure. The video of Borger's Monday CBS report is available on this page, and this is the transcript. Here's the most relevant portion: BORGER: ... But this fight goes way beyond Senate rules. This is a monumental battle about the future of the courts. Just who gets to sit on the Supreme Court? And should...

Now, there's a story in the New York Times that ran yesterday that, folks, I'll tell you, it is just amazing to continue to watch the mainstream press beat the drums in this country to try to rally anti-war support among the American people. And that's what this case has done. It's what this story has done. There's a fascinating interview in the China Daily, a Chi-Com newspaper with the managing editor of the Washington Post as well. And this managing editor of the Washington Post makes it plain that he does not think the US should be the leader...
