"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if only I could have...

There can no more compliment to satire than for a reader to laugh hysterically while throwing up at the same time. That is what we call "satirical nirvana," and President Bush literally blew the roof off the house of satirical possibility with his admission this week that he gave up...

In one of the most incendiary columns ever written, "Race And The Presidential Election," Bill O'Reilly sets the race-bait bar to record-breaking...depths. Short of saying that Barack Obama wants to sleep with your pearly-white daughter, O'Reilly uses just about every button meant to alarm his white fans to the...

In a shock to those who were present at a press conference in North Carolina this week, ABC's George Stephanopoulus asked Barack Obama if he would continue the No Child Left Behind program as president.

"At first we thought he asked whether he would denounce something Jeremiah Wright said about...

Think No Child Left Behind is working? It is if your definition on "No Child" equates to 70% of our children.

War has nothing on our failing education system when it comes to extinguishing the futures of our young.

Last month's report by America's Promise Alliance concluded that...

Well, I'm guessing the Clinton campaign feels pretty swell getting the Bill O'Reilly fair and balanced treatment during her interview last week.

Wonder if Bill happened to mention to her staff that on the same show they would bring on Dennis Miller to eviscerate her (what, wasn't Dick Morris...

The right wing echo chamber (right wing radio and Fox News) is a junkyard dog. It grabs on to an issue, a sound bite, a rumor, sometimes (oh, my) even a fib - anything that might damage the image of an opponent - and doesn't let go until it rips...

Washington - On the 5th anniversary of President Bush's heroic landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln and speech before the Mission Accomplished banner, the White House has admitted that the banner could have been "more specific." To mark the anniversary, spokesperson Dana Perino announced that the White House will be...

After weeks of badgering from the mainstream media as well as right wing talk radio, Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain (R, AZ), summoned reporters to say he was outraged by the President George W. Bush's "divisive, destructive, and frankly, grammatically incorrect" remarks. Scrambling to contain the flare-up in a controversy...

Last month, replicating what's been tossed incessantly across the media, MSNBC political analyst Steve Adubato wrote about Jeremiah Wright's comments and Barack Obama's reaction to them.

"...it's not simply about race, but about judgment and the courage to stand up and confront a longtime friend and supporter who is...

Hillary Wins! Hillary Wins! Hillary Wins!

Down for the count, going in to the bottom of the ninth, she picked herself off the mat and kept swinging the racket, finally kicking the winning field goal on her way to a big time victory, said the mixed metaphor pundits.

But...

During a New Hampshire visit to a Barack Obama rally, Fox News host, Bill O'Reilly, followed his "Don't block the shot" moment (and imminent t-shirt blurb), by asking the candidate if he would come on to his Factor show. Obama told Bill he would consider it AFTER the primaries.

I wrote earlier about last night's debate, and never one thought once about who I thought won the debate, a question that normally comes to mind first.

Obviously the loser was the American voter.

But who won?

The answer usually comes after figuring out who made the most inroads.

I sat at my press seat at the Philadelphia Kimmel Center checking my watch. It was either running fast or I had been swept into a space time-continuum that was about to swallow up any semblance of a learning experience.

Unfortunately, it was the latter.

It took fifty-two minutes before...

RuPaul would be so proud.

It may look and sound like Democracy, but if you look behind the talk radio curtain, you'll find Rush Limbaugh duck-taping Karl Rovian junk back between the thighs of Republican partisanship.

In the spirit of our forefathers who forged out country and our soldiers...

Ever since Barack Obama appeared to be a real presidential possibility, the far right conservative talk show hosts, along with far-right independent, Bill O'Reilly, have said that Obama is about platitudes with no real policy.

I realize that the crack research teams on these shows may have not yet...

During the 2000 presidential election, candidate Bush called Al Gore's economic figures, "fuzzy math."

Seems like the White House is still using the same arithmetic.

"We'll look at the circumstances and assess," said U.S. Iraq Ambassador Stephen Crocker speaking "battlefield geometry" and "political-military calculus."

Yet yesterday, with General Petraeus or...

Once again, Bill O'Reilly used his weekly column to skewer Hollywood for not visiting our troops nor making the kind of movies the folks want.

"...[M]ost [stars] whom will not even visit our troops in the field even though the USO will pay for the trip. Scarlett Johansson...

Last week< a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-young/for-humanitarian-reasons_b_92699.html">I wrote of the sad sight of watching poor Jane Hall, Bill O'Reilly's weekly whipping girl in the "Weekdays With Bernie & Jane" segment on his Factor.

After watching the humiliating treatment heaped on her last night by the fair and balanced BillO, it seems she...

Did you ever wonder how the pundits of talk radio got so smart? Stop wondering. They aren't.

Dictionary.com defines a pundit as "a learned person, expert, or authority." No where does it say they must be "honest." The level of factual content fights a never ending battle...
